EXPLANATORY NOTE
The  Burgos  Extension  Office  of the  Land  Transportation  Office  (LTO)  was
purposely  established to  provide  fast,  reliable  and accessible  services  to the  public,
specifically   in   the   application,   renewal   and   issuance   of  driver's   licenses,   and
processing of vehicle registration.  The extension office caters to the northern portion
of the Province of Ilocos Norte, namely the Municipalities of Adams, Bacarra, Bangui,
Burgos, Dumalneg, Pagudpud, and Pasuquin.
In the age of modemization, people turned to motor vehicles as the primary mode
of   transportation.   In   fact,   motor   vehicle   registration   and   license   transactions
tremendously  increased  since  the  extension  office  was  established  in  May  1999.
Motor vehicle registration transactions  grew from  8,472  in 2020 to 23,891  in 2021,
while Revenue collections increased to P20,687,113.10.
Unfortunately, the large volume of transactions and limited manpower triggered
long queues and caused several delays in the processing of registration, licensing and
similar transactions. More than two decades since its creation, the Burgos Extension
Office has yet to be improved, through legislation, until today.
This  bill  seeks  to  convert  the  existing  Burgos  Extension  Office  of the  Land
Transportation  Office  (LTO)  located  in Poblacion,  Municipality  of Burgos,  Ilocos
Norte into a regular LTO District Office in order to respond to the needs of the public.
In   line   with   this   administration's   commitment   to   streamline   goverrment
processes and deliver efficient,  reliable and accessible public service, the  immediate
passage of this measure is earnestly sought.
