English: Earlier this week, the senator called out the Region 7 office of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) over its plan to apprehend motorcycles using improvised license plates beginning September 1. The senator commented that he could not comprehend the logic of the directive, when the agency itself had yet to resolve its backlogs in the issuance of millions of license plates.
Filipino: Nauna rito ay pinuna ng senador ang plano ng Land Transportation Office (LTO) Region 7 na hulihin ang mga motorsiklong gumagamit ng improvised licensed plates magmula Setyembre 1. Hindi umano maintindihan ni Tolentino ang lohika ng direktiba ng ahensya, gayung di pa naman nito nareresolba ang milyong backlogs nito sa pag-iisyu ng mga opisyal na plaka.
