AT LAST! BUT NOT REALLY ALL!

-

No, it’s not about motorists having too much in their plates but it’s more about motorists having too much about these vehicle registrati­on plates.

Well, at last the long wait is over. Vehicle owners will finally have their registrati­on plates but not really a time to pop open those Champagne bottles.

Although as many as 230,000 plates have been released, there are still…(fanfare)….eight million more plates to go.

Now, don’t go rushing to your LTO District Office just right away. Instead, wait for your notificati­on. Land Transporta­tion Office (LTO) Chief Edgar

Galvante clarified that vehicles registered before July 1, 2016, specifical­ly 2013 to June 2016 will not receive their plates yet, as these plates are under a different contract and supplier, which is still not being allowed by the Commission on Audit (COA) to proceed.

The plates that are being released are those that were produced from the LTO plate-making facility in Quezon City. Whatever! It’s a good start.
