I think you know the answer to that. Go back and check weekly/monthly and be told "out of stock, sir".

If they make you hand over the old plates (because they issued you a new plate number) you might be SOL and be forced to turn it in....and you might be better off doing that instead of driving around with the wrong plate number. As long as you have the receipt showing you paid for the registration/plates you won't have any problems at checkpoints. Just make sure you keep that paperwork in your vehicle.

At least now the licence plate is being looked into or questioned but have my doubts if any of us will get our money back!

Blue Ribbon summons LTO license plate suppliers

How difficult can it be to print print a few million new licence plates? Well it seems like someone has now got to answer a few questions!

I'd bet that a lot of that money went straight into someone's pocket. More of the same. I don't understand why it is so hard for some people to be ethical. You get paid to do something = you do that "something". Very simple.

The Stickers have changed now and as of Monday this week the new ones are not available as are the plates of Course, it should have been 45 days from Jan 1st but....

Speaking to a Friend last night, he was Under the impression that it is only new cars that are to be targeted but I would suspect that in dues course ( near Future even) The New Plate thing will raise it's head for older cars being re registered.
Link for those that are maybe not up to speed on all this.

Hmmm Link was rejected so I post the whole piece.

From the Department of Transportation and Communications

New motor vehicle plates available 45 days after registration renewal

New license plates with multiple security features, launched by the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and the Land Transportation Office (LTO) last year, will be available to replace old license plates beginning tomorrow, January 5, in line with government’s license plate standardization program.

“It’s time to change old license plates with new ones. Tomorrow, we begin phasing out the 9 various designs currently in use with modern, standardized, and security feature-packed license plates,” Secretary of Transportation Jun Abaya said.

“We advise the public that their new license plates will be ordered upon renewing their motor vehicle registrations beginning this year. The new plates will be available 45 days after ordering them,” added LTO’s chief, Assistant Secretary Alfonso Tan Jr.

Since May 2014, the LTO has been issuing new license plates to brand new vehicles that were being registered for the first time. January 2015 marks the start of replacing old or existing license plates with the new ones.

The new license plates for private motor vehicles sport a black-and-white design, similar to those in most countries around the world. They have tamper-resistant locks and screws which permanently attach the plates to the vehicle, preventing their removal and transfer. They also feature reflectorized sheeting to make them visible from afar and from any angle.

The permanent “third plate” windshield sticker replaces the current yearly sticker, and will indicate the vehicle’s license plate number and other relevant registration information. It cannot be peeled off without leaving these pieces of information on the windshield.

“These new plates will help improve road safety by curbing illegal practices such as tanggal-plaka or plate removal and switching, which is prevalent in carnapping and colorum operations. They will help enforcers catch criminals, and enhance safety for the public,” Abaya explained.

“Just to remind those who have old license plates: the new plates will not change your alphanumeric combination. Your existing plate numbers will be retained. Only vehicles registered for the first-time will be issued the new 3-letter 4-number combination,” Tan said.

The entire standardization or replacement program will last until 2017. New plates will cost the same as existing plates, which is P 450.00 for 4-wheeled motor vehicles. Once replaced, the old license plates will no longer be valid for any purpose, but may be kept by their owners.

The new sticker comes in the pack with the plates. It's intended to be permanent - not replaced yearly.

Maybe this is a big political ploy. The enforcement arm of the agency can say we are doing our job, and the procurement arm of the agency can get a publicized black eye. It this type of thing influenced by people in the Agency running for political office in 2016? I am just asking... it just seems ridiculous to me to get a big enforcement campaign when you know have the people are going to pull out the paper work to make half the agency look inefficient. Seem like game being played at the expense of the drivers being pulled over, but each could represent one free vote for the right guy, whoeever that is..... maybe they hand out flyers: " If you do not want this to happen again, vote for XXXX in 2016"
