EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the existing LTO Extension Office in Cauayan City, Province of
Isabela into a regular LTO District Office, therby creating LTO Cauayan City — Isabela District
Office, appropriating funds therefore and for other purposes.

LTO Cauayan City is situated at the heart of 3° Congressional District of Isabela. Other
congressional districts particularly 1", 2™, and 4" except the 3 District are being served by a
regular LTO District Offices. For the record, Cauayan City and the municipalities of Luna,
Cabatuan, Reina Mercedes, Alicia, and San Mateo are being catered as part of the areas of
responsibility of LTO Cauayan Extension Office. Notwithstanding the sheer volume of motor
vehicle’s registration and driver’s license transactions being processed by the extension office, it
is lamentable that there is no budgetary allocation from the regular national budget and regular
plantilla of personnel being an extension office.


Albeit, it has carried its mission and mandates efficiently and effectively and one of the
best practices in the implementation of agency’s Quality Management System and adjudge as
outstanding in Anti-Red Tape compliance.

In view of the foregoing in the interest of public service, the approval of this bill is eamestly

sought.
