ZAMBOANGA CITY, May 17 (PNA) -- The Land Transportation Office (LTO) is making the necessary preparations for the implementation of Republic 10586, otherwise known as the Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Act of 2013 in this city.

This was announced by LTO regional director Aminola Abaton who said they are just waiting for some equipment from the central office to start the implementation of R.A. 10586 here.

Abaton said that among the equipment they need are breath analyzer, and drug testing kits. LTO personnel will also be trained to handle the equipment.

Abaton said that there will be massive information campaign before the law will be fully implemented.

“We are trying to cope up with the schedule as far as the implementation of the anti drunk and drugged law. There are aspects that we need to do before we can implement it,” he said.

He said that the R.A. 10586 will be implemented towards the end of the year.

He said R.A. 10586 will be implemented by a composite team of personnel from LTO, police and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA).

R.A. 10586 was signed into law on May 27, 2013. (PNA)
