EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) Laguna Licensing Center is the only driver's
licensing center in the entire province of Laguna. It serves the constituents of San Pablo City,
Alaminos, Nagearlan, Liliw, Rizal, Magdalena, Majayjay, Sta, Maria, Calauan, Victoria,
Pagsanjan, Calamba, Los Bafios, Bay, Cabuyao, Infanta, Pacte, Siniloan, and Lumban.
Laguna Licensing Center also caters to the driver’s license applicants coming from the
nearby cities and municipalities like Lipa City, Tanauan City, Matas na Kahoy, Malvar, Sto.
Tomas. Talisay, Ibaan, Padre Garcia, Rosario, San Juan, Lobo, Taysan, Dolores, Tiaong, San
Antonio, Candelaria, Sariaya, and Lucban:

‘The performance record of LTO Laguna Licensing Center since its operations from
1985 up to present showed tremendous growth in terms of revenue collections and volume of
transactions. In 2015, revenue collection amounted to P24,390,841.00, while license
transactions rose to 85,679. These transactions would show that the Laguna Licensing Center
transactions are comparable with the regular licensing center of the National Capital Region,

The proposed conversion of LTO Laguna Licensing Center into a Regular Licensing
Center would help secure independent funding under the General Appropriations Act (GAA)
for its capital outlay, maintenance and other operating expenses. This would definitely
enhance and strengthen the rated capacity of the said office through the creation of new
of personnel which would pave way for a more effective and efficient

plantilla.positio
public service.

Thi
Licensing Center to be known as

bill, therefore, seeks to convert the L'TO Laguna Licensing Center into a Regular
‘an Pablo City Licensing Center, Province of Laguna.

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