• Mikha Lim arrived at the Land Transportation Office on Wednesday afternoon, November 11, after receiving a show-cause order over a viral driving video
• The BINI member allegedly used a cellphone while driving, prompting the agency to seek her explanation
• Earlier coverage linked the controversy to an alleged Weverse livestream inside a vehicle
• A show-cause order does not establish guilt, as the agency must assess her explanation and the evidence before deciding on administrative penalties

Mikha Lim arrived at the Land Transportation Office (LTO) on Wednesday afternoon, November 11, following the issuance of a show-cause order over a viral video allegedly showing her using a phone while driving.

Acording to an ABS-CBN News update credited to Izzy Lee, the singer “arrived at the Land Transportation Office this Wednesday afternoon, November 11.”

Her appearance followed the agency’s action over the circulating clip. Daily Tribune reported that the footage appeared to show the performer using a cellphone and briefly taking her hands off the steering wheel. The order requires her to explain her actions as the LTO examines possible traffic violations.

Earlier, Abante reported on November 10 that the controversy involved an alleged Weverse livestream while she was driving. The report connected the broadcast to her 23rd birthday celebration. However, it did not include an explanation from the singer or her management.

The LTO handles driver’s licenses, motor vehicle registration, and enforcement of land transportation rules. Its responsibilities also include adjudicating traffic cases, according to its official regional website.

For context, Republic Act No. 10913, or the Anti-Distracted Driving Act, regulates the use of mobile communication and electronic devices behind the wheel. It covers prohibited activities while a vehicle is moving or temporarily stopped at a red light.

These activities include writing or reading messages, browsing the internet, and similar acts. The law allows certain hands-free functions, provided the device does not interfere with the driver’s line of sight. It also provides exceptions for emergency use.

Under the statute, a first offense carries a ₱5,000 fine, while a second offense carries a ₱10,000 fine. A third offense carries a ₱15,000 fine and a three-month license suspension. These are general provisions of the law, not confirmed penalties against Mikha.

Outside the issue, the performer is a member of the eight-member Filipino girl group BINI, alongside Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Jhoanna, and Sheena. The group released its pre-debut single, “Da Coconut Nut,” in November 2020 before its official launch in June 2021.
