EXPLANATORY NOTE
Ensuring that government services, especially licensing and permitting 
functions, are accessible and delivered efficiently to the people is an important policy 
thrust. The goal should always be that our people will no longer have to travel far, 
wait in long queus and consume a lot of time in order to avail of basic public services.
The filing of this bill, which seeks to convert the Land Transportation Office 
(LTO) extension office in Mabalacat City, Pampanga into a regular LTO office, is guided 
by this policy consideration. The conversion envisioned herein will provide the 
necessary funding to support the hiring of additional personnel and the procurement 
of facilities and equipment crucial for the expansion of the services rendered by the 
LTO office. This will, in turn, enable the office to shorten the processing times, 
decongest the volume of daily transactions it will handle, and ultimately provide a 
more efficient registration system for motor vehicles and licensing of operators and 
drivers In its Geographical Area of Responsibility, namely: Mabalacat City, Clark Special 
Economic Zone, and some barangays in Angeles City, Magalang, Porac, and Mexico 
City, all in the Province of Pampanga.

In view of the foregoing, early passage of this bill is earnestly request^
