EXPLANATORY NOTE

Rosales is one of the first class municipalities in the 6th district of Pangasinan. Being such, it is a
home to a number of primary government offices including an office of the Ombudsman, Technical
Education and Skill Development (TESDA), an office of the Department of Labor and Employment, and
the LTO-Rosales Extension Office

‘The present LTO-Rosales Extension Office was first established in November 1994 by virtue of an
LTO Memorandum at Tayug, Pangasinan until its eventual transfer in Rosales. In a feasibility study
conducted by the LTO-Region 1 in 2008, the then LTO Extension Office in Tayug was recorded to have
‘an estimated income of Php 12,726,400.00. With this revenue, together with all the other related significant
data, LTO-Region | made a recommendation that it was very viable to convert the LTO Tayug Extension
Office into a regular district office

Due to some circumstances, however, the conversion did not take place even until the transfer of
the Office in its present location in Rosales. Notably, however, LTO-Rosales Extension Office, at present,
caters to a larger clientele mainly from municipalities of the 6" district and other municipalities of
Pangasinan and neighboring provinces (ie. Lupao and Paniqui). As such, for the month of December 2017,
LTO-Rosales Extension Office recorded a revenue amounting to Php 50,660,423.06. Further, it was also
noted that LTO-Rosales has generated a comparatively higher monthly income and processed more motor
vehicle registration in comparison with other LTO offices, both regular and extension, in the region.

‘Thus, to lend our government a hand in attaining its vision to showcase fast and efficient public
service for a progressive land transport sector, this bill seeks for the conversion of the LTO-Rosales
Extension Office into a regular LTO district office to effectively enable it to discharge all the functions of
a regular LTO office as sanctioned by law.

Hence, the immediate passage of this proposed bill is eamestly sought
