The Land Transportation Office (LTO) practically pointed to driving schools as the reason why it is too expensive to secure a driver’s license in the Philippines.
The Land Transportation Office practically pointed to driving schools as the reason why it is too expensive to secure a driver’s license in the Philippines.
Tugade said such pricey requirements cannot be waived since it is mandated by the Republic Act 10930, which extends the validity of driver’s license to 10 years, that was signed into law in 2019. For the TDC, the two groups verbally agreed that the price range is between P1,400 to P2,500. And for the PDC, the charge will not exceed P4,500.
The frequency of road accidents in the Philippines is one of the reasons why RA 10930 was enacted into law in 2019, the intention is to make the country’s road safer by assuring that those who would be given with driver’s license are qualified and responsible. “We in the LTO are not oblivious to this fact that’s why the first thing I did when I first assumed the position on Nov. 15 is to look into this by convening a committee that will revisit the guidelines as well as the fees being charged by the driving schools,” said Tugade.
