MANILA: Greg Guillermo Pua Jr. has been appointed as the latest Land Transportation Office Executive Director — replacing Francis Almora (who will return as the director of the Law Enforcement Service).

The 35-year-old executive now holds the record of being the youngest official to have the post in the agency’s history.

In a statement, LTO Assistant Secretary Atty. Vigor Mendoza II welcomed Pua to his new post, saying that his expansive experience working with various private and government entities — which include being the LTO’s Chief legal consultant — will be of big help in pushing for the implementation of various projects and reform programs.

“The number of our youth clients have been increasing exponentially. We need fresh ideas in the changing landscape of government service. Executive Director Pua will bring in the youth idealism and vigor in the top-level positions in the LTO,” Mendoza said.

A product of San Beda University, Pua held various positions in several law offices and was also a consistent legal consultant of transport groups before he entered the LTO.

“Executive Director Pua proved himself to be both a team player and innovative leader. On behalf of the LTO family, we welcome his appointment as the LTO Executive Director,” Mendoza said.
