Sen. Ralph Recto proposed that NBI and the police instead “electronically and manually provide the LTO with their databases on persons with criminal records.” “Why not provide the LTO with a negative list and use this as a basis for approving or disapproving applications for a professional driver’s license?” Recto told the DOTC officials in attendance. “Kesa pipila pa sila sa NBI at sa estasyon ng pulis, baka pwedeng ipadala na lang nila sa LTO ang listahan ng mga taong may kasong kriminal o wanted ng batas,” Recto said. “Pwede naman file sharing na lang,” he added. “If there’s a guy there who has been charged a number of times with reckless imprudence while operating a vehicle, then the police can just red flag his name and forward it to the LTO,” he said. This “information-sharing protocol” can be done through the Internet, Recto said. “Kaya hindi na kailangan pumila sa presinto o sa mga opisina ng NBI,” the senator stressed.
