Authorities have identified several individuals and two racing clubs allegedly involved in a drag race along Cebu South Coastal Road in Barangay Cansojong early Monday, Nov. 9.
The City of Talisay Traffic Operations and Development Authority (CT-TODA) identified the individuals following the circulation of online videos showing motorcycles racing against each other on a public road.
CT-TODA also obtained closed-circuit television footage showing two motorcycles allegedly participating in the race.
The Land Transportation Office Region 7 has issued show cause orders to some of the identified individuals, requiring them to explain their alleged involvement in the incident.
Those found responsible could face penalties ranging from a three-month suspension to the revocation of their driver’s licenses, according to the report.
Meanwhile, CT-TODA records showed that 19 people have died in road accidents in Talisay City so far in 2026.
The identification of the individuals and racing clubs prompted action from transportation authorities following the reported incident on the public road.
The investigation comes amid the recorded road fatalities in the city, with authorities examining the alleged illegal racing activity captured in online videos and CCTV footage.
