More Nonsense from the LTO!

Obviously this is going to take some time to sort out, I should imagine a lot of people have paid the extra p450 already when renewing their reg, we kept all the receipts from the lto when we paid in February this year as I wouldn't be surprised if we get asked again to pay in a few years time!

 

Still haven’t received your license plates? Disgruntled employees from the Land Transportation Office (LTO) may be behind it.

In an interview last week, LTO spokesperson Jason Salvador expressed the agency’s suspicions that delays in the release of license plates weren’t due to any shortage in supplies, but due to “sabotage” from within the the LTO’s ranks.

“In the course of the license plates standardization program, we’ve been encountering several challenges from within and from the outside. One is the perceived deliberate delay in the ordering,” Salvador said, in a phone interview

It just gets better and better

 

Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago on Friday urged his colleagues to probe the inferior quality of newly-issued license plates amid reports that some of these failed the flood stress test.

The senator, in a press statement, said that more due diligence should be exercised by the government in selecting the manufacturers contracted by agencies.

“It is imperative for the LTO (Land Transportation Office) and DOTC (Department of Transportation and Communications) to provide car plates that can withstand flood and other usual road hazards, especially since the country is vulnerable to typhoons,” Santiago said.

The senator cited in her resolution, set to file Monday, the complaints of car owners and motorists such as a bent license plate after the vehicle owner drove through only knee-deep flood waters and a license plate found on the street after it was loosened by flood waters.

Another post that maybe should be in the humour section,they only get better

 

You shouldn't be driving through knee deep water in a passenger car or a motorcycle in the first place. And "only knee-deep".....how deep of water are they wanting to drive through? Are these plates for cars or submarines?

 

Just use the old plates until the new ones arrive,don't expect to see them anytime soon though.
Seems to me if you buy a car or bike on Cebu or Manila you get the plates as have seen several around Dumaguete.
My question is how are we supposed to know if we do get them?
