Actor Derek Ramsay has pledged to cooperate with the Land Transportation Office (LTO) as it investigates a viral supercar reportedly bearing a fake license plate. The Porsche 918 Spyder was seen on public roads, prompting the LTO to place the vehicle under "alarm status" and order its impoundment.
Ramsay, who was made aware of the situation, took to Instagram to assert that he does not operate any vehicles with fake plates. "All my vehicles have proper plates," he wrote, urging the public to carefully consider the LTO's statement. He has not yet received a formal show cause order but is prepared to appear before the agency when summoned.
