MANILA, Philippines — The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has issued a show cause order (SCO) against Victory Liner Inc. after a video showing one of its buses allegedly driving recklessly on an expressway circulated on social media. LTFRB Chairman Vigor Mendoza II said the agency was coordinating with the netizen who uploaded the video, which was flagged by the board’s social media monitoring team, to gather more details about the incident. “I saw the video and there is clearly a violation on the part of the bus driver. We are now investigating to determine if the bus was carrying passengers at the time of the incident,” Mendoza said. In the footage, the bus is seen making a dangerous maneuver against a truck along what appears to be an expressway. The uploader can be heard commenting as the video plays, which seemed to have been captured using a smartphone or a dashcam. The truck driver did not retaliate as the bus sped away. Mendoza said the video served as the basis for the LTFRB to identify the bus and initiate formal action against the operator. An SCO dated Feb. 9, 2026 was issued against Victory Liner Inc., directing the company to identify and present the driver involved during a hearing scheduled on Feb. 25. Both the bus company and the driver were ordered to submit a written explanation on why they should not be held liable for the incident. “Failure on the part of the respondents to appear before the Hearing Officer and file an answer shall be considered as a waiver on your part to be heard and shall cause the imposition of the penalty,” the SCO read. Mendoza said the behavior shown in the video was unacceptable and stressed that such incidents put the lives of passengers and other motorists at risk. He urged bus operators to strictly discipline their drivers and warned against road rage and other forms of dangerous driving. On the part of the LTFRB, Mendoza said the agency would continue to intensify monitoring and swiftly act on complaints against erring public utility vehicle drivers and operators.
