Nineteenth Congress
Second Regular' Session
HOUSE BILL No.  914 8
Introduced by Representative Arthur F. Celeste
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This  bill  seeks to upgrade the  classiflcation of the  Land Transportation
Office  (LTO)-Alaminos  District  Office  in  the  City  of Alaminos,  Province  of
Pangasinan from Class "D" to Class "8".
The  municipalities  Bolinao, Anda,  Bani,  Infanta,  Dasol,  Burgos, Agno,
Mabini,   Sual,   and  Alaminos   City   encompass   the   geographical   area   of
responsibility (GAOR) of LTO-Alaminos District Office, most of them form part
of the First Legislative District of Pangasinan. The LTO - Alaminos District
Office also serves the adjacent municipalities of the Province of zambales.
The  major  functions  of the  office  include  motor  vehicle  registration,
licensing, enforcement and adjudication of apprehension cases, and collection of
revenues  under the  overall  supervision  of the  regional  office  located  in  San
Femando  City,  La Union.    With  its  classification  as  Class  "D"  LTO  District
Office, it is currently marmed by eight regular employees and four contractual
employees.
The   LTO   Memorandum   Circular  No.   2020-2200   provides   for  the
guidelines and procedures for the conversion of district offices, and the standards
on the classification of LTO district offices.   Under the said memorandum, the
LTO-Alaminos District Office is not within the legislated classification based on
the statistical analysis of average annual accomplishment for the last three years.
The current average annual volume of transactions at the IJTO-Alaminos District
Office  is  already  85,475  while  the  requirement  for  Class  "8"  district  office
standard  is  74,001-111,000  transactions  per  year.    Thus,  the  LTO-Alaminos


District Office is eligible to become a Class "8" district office with twenty-one
plantilla positions compared to the existing twelve personnel who are forced to
experience multi-tasking ordeals due to voluminous number of daily transactions.
Considering the number of transactions undertaken by the LTO-Alaminos
District Office, it must be upgraded to Class "8" to increase the number of its
personnel, which is required to efficiently serve its area ofjurisdiction.
