EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks to upgrade the LTO Calapan District Office in Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro,
transitioning it  from a Class  D to  a Class  8  District Office.  Current statistical  data regarding
transaction volume and revenue collection indicates that the LTO Calapan District Office meets
the criteria for reclassification to Class 8.
As a Class D office within the LTO  MIMAROPA region, the district presently operates with
eight  (8)  plantilla  positions,  each  assigned  specific  functions  as  outlined  in  Memorandum
Circular No.  VPT  2010  1439,  dated  December  10,  2012.  However,  this  staffing  level  proves
insufficient to  efficiently handle the daily influx  of transactions, particularly in areas  such as
licensing, registration, adjudication and law enforcement services.
The proposed upgrade to Class 8 classification addresses the existing organizational and staffing
challenges faced by district offices. By allowing for the creation of additional plantilla positions,
this reclassification is poised to enhance operational efficiency, expedite transaction processing
times and subsequently boost revenue collection. The adjustment in classification will facilitate a
more streamlined and effective structure for addressing the agency's responsibilities and duties.
Given these cousideratious, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought to ensure the continued
improvement and effectiveness of the LTO Calapan District Office.
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
