THE regional office of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) has given a 30-day period to Boholanos who may have renewed or have not yet gotten their driver’s license and vehicles or motor’s registration, to comply before law enforcement sometime in September, regional director Glen Galario said.
LTO conceded to Gov. Aris Aumentado’s appeal for such extension so as not to surprise Boholanos when the LTO operates here and entire province during the press conference held at the New Capitol where the LTO officials, including this city LTO chief Yvonne T. Auza and Operation division chief Aden M. Belza, were invited.
Galario said that when it operates to flag down vehicles and apprehend violators, such as the colorum vans for hire and public transport operating without franchise here, LTO found that its coming to Bohol is being circulated in social media.
Both Galario and Aumentado called on everyone to secure or renew their driver’s license and car or motor’s registration and follow the law, R. A. 4136, to avoid being apprehended by LTO’s enforcers who are wearing body cameras.
The governor said he will remind municipal mayors to apprehend vans for hire buses and other public transport vehicles operating without franchises in their respective turfs. He added that it would be unfair to those who secure franchises for their vehicles to operate.
As requested by LTO, Gov. Aumentado is also agreeable to provide a space for LTO for the license plate’s distribution since their office here is limited.
Galario said that LTO is already distributing motorcycle’s license plate numbers starting in 2017 and below. He urged those concerned to claim them before end of October as this date is the deadline imposed on LTO by the higher ups. (Ric Obedencio)
