The Land Transportation Office has waived the 150-day validity period of temporary driver's licenses until a shortage of materials for license cards is resolved.
The LTO announced in a memorandum dated Friday that the validity period of temporary driver's licenses (TDL) will be disregarded and "the expiry date of the driver's license indicated therein shall be considered as the TDL's lifespan/validity period."
LTO enforcers and deputized agents were instructed to refrain from apprehending drivers with expired TDLs.
Licensing Centers/District Offices and Driver's License Renewal Centers (DLRC) will set-up hotlines and notices to inform the public of the card's availability. — Rie Takumi/JDS, GMA News

It would be nice if they waive the fees for Registration and New Plates until plates and stickers were available.
I'll return to bed now and continue dreaming.

There are so many directions that the corruption could be coming from it is impossible to know who pocketed the money. The Philippines should start a reality TV show similar to the CSI crime shows but for investigating corruption. They wouldn't even need screen writers, the crap would just write itself and there would never be a shortage of drama2x.
