The failure to appear as ordered underscores a lack of regard for due process, accountability, and the authority vested in this Office,” the decision read.“By refusing to present both the registered owner and the motorcycle for inspection, the concerned party has obstructed investigative proceedings, delayed efforts to establish responsibility, and undermined the integrity of enforcement measures.”Mendoza earlier stressed that as a social media personality, Yanna Motovlog has the responsibility to her followers to lead by example.“While she later expressed remorse and pledged cooperation, her initial refusal to delete the video demonstrates a disregard for the seriousness of her actions. By keeping the content accessible, she inadvertently reinforced a culture of reckless riding rather than emphasizing accountability,” the LTO decision also read.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/nation/2025/5/6/suv-driver-in-naia-tragedy-tests-negative-for-drugs-alcohol-1839">SUV driver in NAIA tragedy tests negative for drugs, alcohol</a></div>The investigation also led to the suspension of the license plate of the motorcycle registered to Aguinaldo. The LTO tasked law enforcers to confiscate it. Meanwhile, the motorcycle that she used during the incident was also placed on alarm until it is turned over to the LTO. The LTO also directed law enforcement officers to apprehend Yanna Motovlog if she is found driving on public roads while her license is suspended.
