MANILA, Philippines — The Land Transportation Office is investigating possible lapses that led to the breaking of almost 500 breathalyzers worth millions of pesos.
LTO chief Vigor Mendoza said they are reviewing the purchase of a total of 746 breathalyzers in 2015 and 2017.
Mendoza said their first concern is to fix the 288 units that can still be fixed and recalibrated before they investigate possible lapses.
“The second is to review what happened in the past to determine if there were lapses and who could be held liable for that,” Mendoza added.
The LTO said they are still studying whether it would be more practical to buy new units instead of recalibrating the remaining units.
