EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks the establishment of a Land Transportation Office (LTO) Licensing 
Center in the municipality of Pili, province of Camarines Sur.  
It is the policy of the State to have efficient and reliable transportation services 
as they provide a vital support system to national development and economic growth. 
The LTO consistently carries out its mandates. However, the demand for LTO 
services, specifically licensing transactions, has been increasing.  
Currently, all district offices in the Province of Camarines Sur are catering to 
mixed transactions or provide all LTO services. Due to this, processing time and 
queues are longer in the district offices. Moreover, based on the 2020 Census of 
Population by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), Camarines Sur has the biggest 
population size among the provinces in the Bicol Region with a total population of 
2,068,244.  
The establishment of the Licensing Center in Pili, Camarines Sur will not only 
benefit the local clients but will also minimize the risk of clients resorting to or being 
victimized by fixers. This will lessen or eradicate cases regarding the possession of 
fake licenses through a better and efficient access to LTO services. 
It is therefore necessary to create a licensing center which shall serve the local 
clients and help decongest queues in other district offices.  
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
