It’s not just driver’s license cards that are running out; soon, motor vehicles might not have any license plates either. The Land Transportation Office (LTO) cautioned that license plates could face a shortage as early as June.
MANILA, Philippines – It’s not just driver’s license cards that are running out; soon, motor vehicles might not have any license plates either. The Land Transportation Office cautioned that license plates could face a shortage as early as June.
“When we received the [department] order in January, almost every week, we sent a letter to the Department of Transportation – pleading – respectfully requesting for them to reconsider the special order because we did not want to come to this. We did not want to eventually come to a situation wherein we would run out of plastic cards, and a situation wherein we would run out of plates. Again, our requests went unheeded and were denied,” Tugade said.
“We do need to be able to identify motor vehicles, and that is one way for us to identify motor vehicles. Similar to a brand new motor vehicle – a car – wherein the identification mark is the conduction sticker. So we will be applying the same concept to motorcycles in the event that we fully run out of motorcycle plates, which I hope we don’t,” the LTO chief explained.
