HOUSE BILL No,_8188

Introduced by Representative Federico S. Sandoval IT

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Caloocan City extension office of the Land Transportation
Office (LTO) located in Malabon City into a regular LTO District Office.

‘The Caloocan City LTO Extension Office is leasing a place within the City Hall of the
highly-urbanized Malabon City for its operation. The City Hall is strategically located at the
heart of Malabon City where the main business enterprises, financial institutions, and district
offices of the national government are situated. But while housed in Malabon City Hall and
serving the growing clientele from the 20 barangays of Malabon City and neighboring
barangays of Navotas City, the employees of the LTO extension office are actually under the
plantilla of the regular District Office of LTO-Caloocan City.

The services offered by the Caloocan City LTO Extension Office have become
inadequate. The number of vehicle registration ranged from 40,310 in 2011 and 49,592 in
2013. The issuance of driver’s license and student permits, on the other hand, ballooned from
32,550 in 2011 to 38,911 in 2015. Much as this extension office would like to provide a more
efficient registration of motor vehicles and licensing of operators and drivers in Malabon
City, the goal is simply improbable because its limited personnel and equipment.

With the conversion of the Caloocan City LTO Extension Office into the Malabon City
LTO District Office, corresponding funding will be allocated to support a sufficient number
of plantilla positions and facilities to complement the expansion services. This will shorten
the processing time of the applications and decongest the volume of daily transactions.

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