Yanna Motovlog Found Guilty, LTO Suspends License Over Viral Road Rage Incident

In a high-profile decision, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) has officially suspended the license of well-known Filipino motovlogger Yanna Motovlog following a viral road rage incident that sparked national debate. The agency found her guilty of multiple traffic violations, citing reckless driving and behavior unfit for a license holder.

The incident, which occurred in Coto Mines, Zambales, became a trending topic on social media after a video surfaced showing Yanna aggressively overtaking a pickup truck and flashing an obscene gesture toward the driver. The altercation escalated into a heated confrontation, drawing public criticism and concern.

Yanna, whose real name is Alyannah Mari Aguinaldo, was seen in the video weaving through narrow mountain roads, overtaking on blind curves, and violating several traffic regulations. Her behavior was immediately condemned by netizens, prompting swift investigation from authorities.

The LTO responded by issuing a Show Cause Order, summoning her to appear in a formal hearing and explain why her license should not be revoked. However, Aguinaldo failed to attend the hearing, citing threats to her safety. A representative from her legal team appeared on her behalf and submitted a written apology.

The LTO, however, determined that the apology did not absolve her from accountability. Officials ruled that she exhibited conduct unbecoming of a license holder and suspended her license for 90 days under the Administrative Code on Road Safety.

Investigators highlighted several infractions committed during the incident. These included reckless driving, public disturbance, and the installation of unauthorized accessories on her motorcycle. Her license plate was also found to be unregistered at the time of the incident.

The LTO emphasized that influencers like Yanna bear a greater responsibility to model safe driving behavior, especially given their wide reach and ability to influence young riders.

In a public statement, the agency said: “Driving is a privilege, not a right. Any person, regardless of social status, must be held accountable when they place others at risk.”

Yanna later took to social media to issue a public apology. In her statement, she expressed remorse and acknowledged her emotional response during the encounter. “I lost my temper and I deeply regret my actions,” she wrote. “This has been a wake-up call for me.”

However, the pickup truck driver involved in the incident, Jimmy Pascua, was not satisfied with the apology. He accused Yanna of selectively editing the footage to favor her narrative and of refusing to remove the video when requested. Pascua is reportedly considering legal action for defamation and emotional damages.

This case has sparked broader conversations around accountability for social media content creators. Many have called for stricter regulations on those who post road-related content, particularly when such videos glamorize dangerous driving.

The LTO stated that it will monitor Yanna’s compliance with the suspension and may consider further sanctions if she violates the terms. They are also reviewing whether to permanently revoke her driving privileges depending on the outcome of any legal proceedings.

Meanwhile, road safety advocates praised the LTO’s decisive action. They argue that cracking down on reckless riders—especially those with social media influence—can help prevent future accidents and encourage responsible riding behavior.

As of now, Yanna has stepped back from vlogging and has limited her public appearances. She has urged her followers not to engage in online hate and instead learn from her mistakes.

The LTO’s ruling stands as a strong reminder that fame does not grant immunity from the law. Road users must observe discipline and caution at all times, no matter who is watching.

With her license suspended, Yanna’s future as a motovlogger remains uncertain. But the message is clear: the road is not a place for pride, but for responsibility.
