EXPLANATORY NOTE
This  bill  seeks  the establishment of an extension offlce of the Land Transportation
Office (LTO) in the Municipality of Maayon, Province of Capiz.
The Municipality of Maayon is a third class municipality in the Province of capiz. It
is  adjacent  to and bordered by the municipalities of Cuartero, Dumarao, Dao,  Panitan and
Pontevedra. As of 2020, it has a population of 41,226.
At  present,  there  are  two  LTO  District  Offices  in  the  Province  of Capiz.  One  is
situated in Roxas City while the other is located in the Municipality of Dumalag. Motorists
residing in Maayon and nearby municipalities who wish to transact with the LTO will have to
travel to the LTO District Office in either Roxas City or Dumalag. The distance from Maayon
and the two  district offices is approximately 38 kilometers with an estimated travel time of
around 55 to 65 minutes. Thus, they will have to spend more time and incur more expenses to
transact with the LTO.
The establishment of an extension office of the LTO in the Municipality of Maayon
will  greatly  help  the  LTO  in  the  efficient  delivery of services to motorists residing in the
Maayon  and  nearby  municipalities  who  are  distantly  situated  from  the  two  existing  LTO
District Offices.  This will  greatly unburden them from having to incur more transportation
expenses  and from spending more time in transit just to make transactions with the LTO. In
addition,  the establishment of a new LTO Extension Office will help reduce the volume of


transactions  and  applications  for  vehicle  registration,  driver's  license  and  other  permits
currently catered by the two existing LTO District Offices in Capiz.
In view of the foregoing, early passage of this bill is sought.
