The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has suspended the driver's license of a Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) official for 90 days pending an investigation into alleged verbal abuse of a security guard.

LTO chief Vigor Mendoza II stated the suspension is in effect until the investigation is completed, and the official must surrender his license by September 23.

A show-cause order was issued, requiring the official to explain why his license should not be permanently revoked for being an improper person to operate a motor vehicle.

The incident occurred on August 9 when the official allegedly cursed the security guard for denying him entry to a subdivision.

The official, described as a lawyer, reportedly returned later with police and had the guard arrested.
