employees must at all times be accountable to the people, serve them with utmost
professionalism. competence. integrity, loyalty, and efficiency.

This bill seeks to accomplish such mandate by establishing a Land Transportation Office
(LTO) District Branch in the Municipality of Maramag, Province of Bukidnon, The satellite
office shall address all the needs of the motoring public and approve licenses and renewals
thereof to more Mindanaoans.

If approved. the district branch will certainly be helpful in the speedy resolution and
declogging of the dockets of LTO Offices within the surrounding areas. Furthermore, such office
would ensure comfort, care and convenience for transacting clients since the nearest LTO Office
is located in Malaybalay. Bukidnon which is outside the Third Le; District of Bukidnon.
Finally, this will help attain the principle enshrined in our Constitution that the State shall
promote industrialization and full employment through industries that make full and efficient use
