THE Office of the City Prosecutor in Mandaue City has recommended the filing of an information for nine counts of falsification of commercial documents under Article 172 of the Revised Penal Code against seven employees and several John Does of motorcycle dealer DES Strong Motors Inc. (DSMI).

This, after the Land Transportation Office (LTO) 7, represented by Regional Director Victor Emmanuel Caindec, formally filed a complaint against DSMI for “conspiring and confederating with each other, falsified the commercial documents that were submitted or uploaded to the Land Transportation Office Do-It-Yourself System.”

LTO Assistant Secretary Edgar Galvante, in a letter dated Oct. 20, 2020, authorized Caindec to file the complaint.
