Jose Arturo Tugade has resigned from his post as chief of the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
Tugade, who was appointed as head of the LTO in November 2022, cited differing opinions and methods with the Department of Transportation as the reason for his decision to quit.'Even as DOTr and LTO both aim to succeed in serving the public, our methods to achieve that success differ.
For this reason, I am stepping down, so [DOTr] Secretary Jimmy [Jaime] Bautista will have the free hand to choose who he can work best with,' he said.Tugade, son of former DOTr secretary Arthur Tugade, said he will continue to 'root' for the LTO's success as a private citizen.'I will always share Secretary Bautista's belief that our offices can be a formidable force for good in our country,' he said.His resignation will take effect on June 1.
