The Philippine Star|November 05, 2024
A sport utility vehicle (SUV) bearing a “7” protocol plate assigned to senators illegally entered the EDSA bus lane on Sunday and nearly hit a traffic enforcer, but the Land Transportation Office (LTO) said the plate is fake.
SUV with 'fake' Senate plate enters EDSA busway, flees

“The initial information we have based on the assessment of the pieces of evidence at hand is that the ‘7’ protocol plate attached to the SUV in the viral video is fake, and that there was no protocol plate issued to the same type of vehicle,” the LTO said in a statement yesterday.

The “7” protocol plate is usually reserved for senators.

The incident took place at 6:58 p.m. at Guadalupe Station’s northbound exclusive bus lane.

In a video shared over social media, a Department of Transportation Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation (DOTr-SAICT) traffic enforcer, Sarah Barnachea, recorded herself standing in front of the SUV – which had illegally entered the exclusive lane – while repeatedly telling the driver to stop.
