“One of the contingencies we have in place is to allow the temporary issuances of motor vehicle plates and motorcycle plates by the owner. So, for example, the motorcycle owners, in the absence of a plate number, they can create a plate number and on the plate number, it will say the motor vehicle file number of the motorcycle,” he said.
The exception to this rule are vehicle owners whose license plates were lost, stolen or mutilated, as they would need to go to an LTO office to request an authorization to use improvised plates.The LTO warned that those found using improvised plates without authorization from the agency would be fined P5,000 for violating its Joint Administrative Order No. 2014-01.
According to the LTO’s latest inventory, there are only a million plates left for motorcycles nationwide and 300,000 plates for motor vehicles. These supplies are projected to run out by June and July, respectively.In Congress, Sen. Grace Poe on Thursday cautioned the LTO against its contingency measures to address the agency’s backlog, expressing dismay over the agency’s admission that it was struggling to cope with the backlog of license plates.
“From license cards to motorcycle plates and car plates, the LTO has earned a notorious reputation for delivering short of what is expected,” she pointed out.
