HOUSE BILL No._6424

Introduced by Rep. Diego “Nonoy" C. Ty

EXPLANATORY NOTE

There is a growing need for access to license applications and other motor-related
transactions provided by the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to the driving public in the First
District of the Province of Misamis Occidental. This trend necessitates the establishment of a
regular district office of the said agency in one of the towns within the District.

The Municipality of Calamba is a strategic location of the proposed satellite office being
situated in the center between LTO Oroquieta City and LTO Dipolog City. The establishment of
the said LTO regular district office through this proposed legislation will be of great help not only
to the people of Calamba but also to the neighboring municipalities of Sapang Dalaga,
Concepcion, Baliangao, and Plaridel in the First District of Misamis Occidental and the
Municipality of Rizal in Zamboanga del Norte, all of which are too far from either LTO Oroquieta
City and LTO Dipolog City.

In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earne:
