SEVENTEENTH CONGRESS
Second Regular Session

HOUSE BILL NO:7103

Introduced by HON. LUIS RAYMUND “LRAY” F. VILLAFUERTE, JR.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Bill seeks to create a regular Class “D" District Office of the Land Transportation
Office (LTO) to be located in the Municipality of Pamplona in the Province of

Camarines Sur.

The province of Camarines Sur, consisting of thirty-five (35) municipalities and two
(2) cities, has a growing clientele of the LTO and is presently served by four (4)
existing regular District Offices. These offices cater not only the people of
Camarines Sur but also clients coming from Burias Island of the Province of Masbate

and Tagkawayan, Quezon, among others.

The 2" District of Camarines Sur has a large number of motor vehicle registrants
and drivers licensees as it comprises the Municipalities of Gainza, Libmanan, Milaor,
Minalabac, Pamplona, Pasacao and San Fernando, with a total population of
300,681 per 2010 population census.

A regular District Office of the LTO in Pamplona, Camarines Sur will not only benefit
the residents of the 2 District of the province but also of Sipocot and Burias Island
in Masbate because of its remoteness from existing District Offices.

Consequently, the creation of a new District Office will also reduce the average
transaction volumes in LTO Naga District Office and will effectively result in efficient

oD



and lower processing time of motor vehicle registrations and driver's licenses
The creation of a regular LTO District Office in Pamplona, Camarines Sur is also

projected to hasten the long term development of the area through the increase in
economic and social activity that the presence of LTO District Office may generate.

The approval of this bill is earnestly sought
