Introduced by Rep. Anna Katrina M. Enveriga

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish an extension or satellite office of the Land
‘Transportation Office (LTO) in the Municipality of Infanta, Province of Quezon.
It aims to meet the needs of the motoring public in relation to all license and
motor related transactions being provided by the said office in the Real-Infanta-
General Nakar (REINA) area as well as in the five (5) island municipalities of
the First District of Quezon.

At present, the nearest Land Transportation Office (LTO) in the above
mentioned areas is in Lucena City which is a three-hour ride from Infanta. As
such, the motoring public find it very difficult to avail the services of the Office
especially in relation with license application and renewal, motor vehicle
registration, verification, clearances and other related services,

The establishment of an extension office of LTO in the Municipality of
Infanta, Quezon will benefit not only the host municipality but the nearby
municipalities of northern Quezon. It will further bring closer to the people the

delivery of government services relative to land transportation.

In view of the foregoing, passage of this bill is earnestly urged.

ANNA TR} M. ENVERGA
