LTO Consults Public On New Plates.

[marnick]

---

Owners of motor vehicles and motorcycles nationwide are being consulted if they are willing to pay for a new set of plates as part of government’s plan to weed out fake plates and to trace carjacked private vehicles and out-of-line public utility vehicles.

Regional offices of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) are simultaneously holding public consultations nationwide to get the motorists’ pulse on the government’s plan to issue new plates to replace the old versions by way of standardization.

LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Virginia Torres said motor vehicle and motorcycle owners are primarily consulted about the standardization of plates because they will be made to pay P450 for new motor vehicle plates or P150 for new motorcycle plates.

“They are being asked if they are willing to pay for another set of plates because if the standardization will be implemented, they will be obliged to comply and get the new ones,” she said.

The motorists may be shouldering the cost of the plate standardization but Torres said having new set of plates is a proof of legitimate ownership of the vehicle or motorcycle.

“This is because only those with complete and legitimate documentary requirements will be given new sets of plates,” she said.

Torres said the rationale behind the plate standardization is to be able to clean the streets of vehicles using faked or duplicated plates.

“After one year of plate standardization, the vehicles and motorcycles that still use the old plates will surface. The old plates will signal that the vehicle is ‘problematic’ and it will help enforcers to better trace those units that are carjacked or are using faked documents,” Torres added.

Torres said initial feedback from the National Capital Region (NCR) revealed that motorists are generally amenable to the plan despite the cost since motorists value the protection it will accord them. The NCR is the biggest LTO regional office in terms of revenue collection from motor vehicle and motorcycle registration, and drivers’ license application and renewal.

Torres said the rest of the regions would be reporting the result of their public consultation to the LTO Central Office next week.

“If we are able to convince the motoring public of the necessity of the plate standardization, we will formally publish it and to also announce the bidding for the new supply of plates,” she added.

Torres admitted that the LTO will not pursue with the project "if the public doesn't like paying for the new plates and will not approve of the project."

Earlier, Torres said they plan on redesigning and resizing the plates to set uniformity and to attend to police authorities’ complaints that motorcycle plates are too small, making it hard to read the plate numbers while the motorcycle is moving.

Police authorities have been blaming the size of motorcycle plates for the proliferation of motorcycle-riding criminals since the plate numbers are hard to read, apart from the ability of the motorcycle to move amid vehicular traffic.

flimsy man kaayu ilang rason nganu ila ni e implement. para ma minimize ang carnap? unsa man diay gamit ana ilang pag computerize, pag require og makro-etching og pnp clearance, di pa na pa igo? ang tino-od rason ra gyud ani, pangwarta. maka kwarta ang LTO agency ani kay laliman kag pila na sakyanan og motor ang ilisan og plaka?!? maka kwarta pud ang mga kurakot ani kay padugang naman sad ni sa pusta unya. parahon ka kay di mao imong prescribe plate, dugay-dugayon ka eg process nimo kay aron mo dugo kag hatag.

it's also worth mentioning nga daghan mga brand new unit karon ma motor or ma four-wheeled wala pay plaka kay wa pa nagda-og ilang bidding sa mohimo og plaka. unya next year ra ba ilang projection nga e implement ni ang pag ilis og mga plaka!

grabeng gubota nya ani og madayun ni.
