In a statement, the DOTr said the appointment was made through a special order issued by Bautista designating Galario as the LTO-7 chief. Galario, who previously served as the office's assistant regional director, will replace outgoing LTO-7 Regional Director Victor Emmanuel Caindec.

The LTO-7, it said, also boasts of the country's first and largest licensing center and has other offices centers in Camotes and Bantayan islands as well as in the towns of Dalaguete, Balamban, Ronda, and La Libertad in Negros Oriental.
