This bill seeks to convert the existing Land Transportation Office (LTO) Extension Office
located in the City of Tagaytay, Cavite, into a regular LTO District Office.

The LTO Extension Office in Tagaytay City has been in existence for several decades
already. It has serviced the people of Tagaytay and the neighboring municipalities since 1963,
with interruption, and re-opened in 1985 with full operation as extension office.

Available records and statistics show that the extension office had generated the
following revenues for the past fiscal years, accommodated the registration of increasing
number of vehicles, and processed increasing volume of license applications and issuances. To
wit:

Clearly, there has been a steady increase of services accorded by the LTO Extension
Office to the public.

Cognizant of the growing need for better and improved registration and licensing
capabilities, and in furtherance of the government's commitment to responsible, genuine and
prompt services offered to the public, this bill aims to convert the extension office into a
regular district office. The envisioned district office shall provide adequate manpower for
frontline services with sufficient equipment, devices, and cost-efficient system for registration
and licensing demands.

The City of Tagaytay in the Province of Cavite is fast becoming a prime location for
business, commercial, banking, and tourism industries. The city has developed into a vibrant
and thriving community with diverse tourism businesses, banking institutions, and commercial.
establishments. The robust local economy of the city makes Tagaytay City an ideal and strategic
location for a regular LTO district office.

In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
