Mandaluyong city: A pilot who brandished a gun during a viral parking dispute is being investigated by the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and is facing possible suspension or revocation of his driver's license. In a statement on Thursday, LTO chief Assistant Secretary Markus Lacanilao said the incident happened in a parking area in Mandaluyong City between a pilot and a couple, with the former accused of brandishing a gun by the couple.
According to Philippines News Agency, the LTO issued a show cause order (SCO) to the driver and registered owner of the pilot's vehicle, summoning both to a hearing with the Intelligence and Investigation Division to explain why they should not face administrative penalties. They are facing a charge of Improper Person to Operate a Motor Vehicle.
While the investigation is ongoing, the driver has been placed on a temporary 90-day suspension, and the vehicle has been placed on alarm. In a video uploaded on Facebook by broadcaster Ramon Tulfo, a driver of an SUV, identified in the post as Cebu Pacific airline pilot Cham Unciano Barcena, was seen holding a gun while reversing away from a couple who were taking the video.
