STARTING Sept. 1, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) will issue modern number plates to new vehicles as a way to solve carnapping, unauthorized engine replacement, vehicle smuggling, and colorum operation, among other illegal activities.

LTO 7 Director Raul Aguilos said a new vehicle owner will pay P450 for the modern number plate, which will be delivered within 45 days from the date of registration. It will be valid for five years.

Speaking before the 888 News Forum at Marco Polo Plaza, Aguilos said the modern number plates will also be issued to old vehicles during renewal of registration starting Jan. 1 next year.

Separate modern number plates for motorcycles will also be issued on the same day. The owner will have to pay P150.

The modern number plate is permanently assigned to a vehicle, and nobody, including the owner, is allowed to remove it except authorized LTO personnel.”

New sticker

A modern sticker will be issued together with the modern number plate and must be placed on the vehicle windshield. It will be considered a third plate.

"This modern number plate will solve the continuing lack of plates, Aguilos said. “The Department of Transportation and Communication will pay the contractor that will manufacture the plates within 10 years," Aguilos said.

Aguilos said commemorative plates marked with "NBI," "CIDG," "Mayor," "Governor," or "PNP" are now declared illegal. He said LTO enforcers have started confiscating these illegal plates since June.

He said owners of vehicles with commemoratives plates must voluntarily remove them, or face penalties if caught.

Aguilos warned buyers of vehicles to avoid used units that were illegally imported because the LTO will not register it or will not renew its registration.

Executive Order 156, issued by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in 2003, prohibits the importation and registration of used vehicles.

"We are only authorized to register brand new vehicles. The balikbayans (returning residents) are allowed to bring their vehicles they used and owned in the country where they lived or worked, but they cannot sell them," Aguilos said.

One requirement in the registration of brand new vehicles is the Certificate of Payment (CP) of duties and taxes issued by the Bureau of Customs.

The CP will serve as proof that the vehicle was imported legally.

How will the new plates look like man? And what difference does it make with the current ones we have when it comes to prevent " carnapping, unauthorized engine replacement, vehicle smuggling, and colorum operation, among other illegal activities" kunuhay... daw? Why not implement that with the current plates that we have?
