SWAK umano si Atty. Jose Art “Jay Art” Tugade bilang hepe ng Land Transportation Office (LTO).

Ito ang sinabi ni Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista matapos makausap si Tugade na inilarawan nitong “best suited for the very challenging job in the LTO.”

“With his experience in management and litigation, I believe that he will make a difference in the LTO with the many problems and controversies being faced by the agency,” sabi ni Bautista.

Pinalitan ni Tugade si Teofilo Guadiz na magiging Assistant Secretary for the Road Sector ng DOTr.

“When I talked to Atty Tugade after the announcement, we both discussed how we can better serve the DOTr. It was then that we realized that he is better suited to the LTO. We immediately asked the indulgence of the President and explained the gravity of the situation in the LTO and the importance of the work that has to be done as well as the willingness of Atty. J Art to do it. In the end, the President understood the situation,” dagdag pa ni Bautista.
