Full accountability: BINI Mikha apologizes for driving incident
MANILA, Philippines — Singer Mikha Lim of the local girl group BINI issued an apology following an incident where she was found to be texting while driving.
A clip taken from Mikha's live video showed her using a phone she dropped while maneuvering a moving vehicle.
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has since suspended the artist's driver's licence for 90 days. Mikha later appeared before the LTO the afternoon of November 11 after being issued a show-cause order.
According to the LTO, the possible violations cited in the show-cause order are Republic Act No. 10913 or the Anti-Distracted Driving Act, reckless driving and being an improper person to operate a motor vehicle.
After facing the government agency, Mikha posted an apology on her X account, acknowledging that what she did was "careless and irresponsible."
Hi everyone, I want to sincerely apologize for my actions. There is absolutely no excuse for using my phone while behind the wheel. It was careless and irresponsible. I take full accountability for what happened. I have already reported to the LTO and am going through due process to face the proper penalties for my violation. This has been a big lesson for me to be much more mindful, disciplined, and responsible moving forward. Road safety rules exist to protect everyone, and something we need to take seriously. I promise to learn from this and do better.??
