Explanatory Note 
The establishment of a regular district office of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) in the 
Municipality of Maayon, Capiz represents a significant step towards enhancing accessibility 
and efficiency in providing essential services to the residents of the 1st District of Capiz. This 
strategic move will bridge the gap between the government's services and the underserved 
communities in Pontevedra, President Roxas, Panitan, and neighboring areas, as well as 
extending its reach to the 2nd District of Capiz, encompassing Quartero and Dao.  
Furthermore, this move is not limited to the boundaries of Capiz alone. The establishment of 
the LTO-Maayon District Office will also serve the clients from the northern part of Iloilo 
Province via the Maayon-Sara bypass road. This extension of services across provincial lines 
demonstrates a commitment to regional cooperation and ensures that a broader population 
benefits from the improved accessibility to LTO services. 
As the region continues to develop and progress, the number of registrants, transactions, and 
work services is expected to rise significantly. By establishing the LTO-Maayon District Office, 
we are ensuring that the needs of the people are met effectively, while also contributing to 
the overall development and progress of the region. 
Given these circumstances, the passage of this bill is not just advisable but indeed an 
imperative action to meet the evolving requirements of the local populace and to promote 
the efficiency and effectiveness of government services in the region.  
It reflects a commitment to improving the lives of the people and fostering development in 
the 1st and 2nd Districts of Capiz, making this a cause earnestly sought by all stakeholders 
involved.
