EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish an extension or satellite office of the Land
Transportation Office (LTO) in the Municipality of Calamba, Province of
Misamis Occidental. It aims to cater the needs of the increasing motoring
public in relation to license applications and other motor related transactions
being provided by the said office in the general public.

The Municipality of Calamba is a strategic location of the proposed satellite
office since it is situated in the center between the LTO Oroquieta City and
LTO Dipolog City. It will be of great help not only to the people of Calamba but
as well as to the neighboring municipalities of Sapang Dalaga, Concepcion,
Baliangao, Plaridel in the 1* Congressional District of Misamis Occidental and
the municipality of Rizal in Zamboanga del Norte, all of which are too far from
either LTO Oroquieta City and/or LTO Dipolog City. Hence, the approval of

this bill is earnestly sought.
