'Jaime Bautista inherited an agency which, through the years, has been discombobulated by design. He has taken up the challenge to institute drastic reforms which do not sit well with those who immensely profit from their illicit exercises.' Opinion
In August 2018, the LTO promised to issue about 11 million license plates which had been paid for by vehicle owners from as far back as 2013. Records show that the backlog in license plates from February 2014 to June 30, 2016, totals 8.3 million for cars, trucks, and motorcycles. That number has increased by the thousands since then.
It should be noted that Calalang sent the same letter to the other banks where Arcilla- Margaroli has opened accounts: Asia United Bank, Security Bank and Trust Co., and Union Bank. These banks, however, did not heed Calalang’s request. In their response letter to a subpoena from the National Bureau of Investigation , the three banks manifested that Calalang was not even a signatory to the account, and that there were no court orders nor sufficient documents submitted to bolster his claims.

Calalang has now been issued at least eight warrants of arrest and has been arraigned for criminal cases, along with Ceasar Zamoranos and Ivan Calalang.
All of OMI-JKG’s accounts in banks, including LBP, Torreon added, were opened by Arcilla-Margolli with funds from her own company. “Calalang never gave her [Arcilla-Margolli] even a single centavo of the mobilization fee he got from the DOTr in 2014.“
