The Land Transportation Office in Western Visayas (LTO-6) is celebrating a significant achievement after LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Markus V. Lacanilao emerged as one of the country's highest-rated government officials in a recent nationwide governance survey.

Results of the RPMD Foundation Inc.'s nationwide “Boses ng Bayan” survey showed Assec. Lacanilao garnering an impressive 84-percent Index of Governance (IOG) score, backed by an 83.4-percent trust rating and an 84.6-percent performance rating from respondents across the country.

The survey, conducted from April 1 to 8, 2026 among 5,000 Filipinos nationwide, measured public perceptions of government officials based on trustworthiness, performance, and effectiveness in delivering government services.

For officials and employees of LTO-6, the recognition is a reflection of the reforms and programs being pursued under Assec. Lacanilao's leadership.

Regional Director Atty. Gaudioso P. Geduspan II and Assistant Regional Director Jeck D. Conlu extended their congratulations to the LTO Chief, noting that his strong public approval reflects the agency's commitment to integrity, transparency, law enforcement, and responsive public service.

Director Geduspan added that Assec. Lacanilao's high trust and performance ratings indicate that the LTO is moving in the right direction in its efforts to strengthen governance, combat corruption, and improve road safety and public service delivery.

"These results affirm the importance of visible, responsive, and effective leadership in government," Director Geduspan said, adding that the agency remains committed to carrying out reforms that directly benefit motorists and the public.

RPMD Foundation explained that the Index of Governance combines trust and performance indicators to provide a comprehensive measure of how Filipinos perceive the effectiveness of government officials. The organization noted that top-ranking officials were generally those viewed as highly visible, responsive to public concerns, and capable of delivering concrete results despite complex governance challenges.

The survey further revealed that public confidence increasingly centers on values such as integrity, law enforcement, transparency, public order, and decisive government action—qualities that respondents associate with effective governance.

"𝑹𝑶𝑨𝑫 𝑺𝑨𝑭𝑬𝑻𝒀 𝑪𝑨𝑵𝑵𝑶𝑻 𝑩𝑬 𝑪𝑶𝑴𝑷𝑹𝑶𝑴𝑰𝑺𝑬𝑫."

This was the firm reminder of Land Transportation Office (LTO) Region VI Director Atty. Gaudioso P. Geduspan II when asked for comment by local media on a proposal suggesting that LTO law enforcers ease apprehensions for traffic violations amid rising fuel prices.

Director Geduspan stressed that while economic concerns are valid, enforcement of road transport laws must remain consistent to ensure that discipline on the road and the safety of all motorists are not weakened.

In accordance with Road Safety Month, DLRO Festive Mall, with the help of Law Enforcement Officers, distributed Information, Education and Communication materials to road users at the Festive Mall Transportation Hub.
