THIRTEENT€ CONGRESS OF THE 
REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES 
First Regular Session 
INTRODUCED BY HON. MANUEL B. VILLAR. JR. 
EXPLANATORYNOTE 
This bill seeks to amend Republic Act No. 6539 (The Anti-Carnapping Act of 1972) by 
requiring owners of motor vehicles and other vehicle parts to show only the proof of 
ownership in securing clearance for the purpose of transporting it from one island to 
another. 
Undoubtedly, RA 6539 deterred the shipment of stolen vehicles and motor parts and 
decreased the opportunities of carnapping syndicates to sell their loot to other areas. 
However, it cannot be denied that securing permits and clearances entail a lot of 
administrative procedures that sometimes cause delay of shipment. It is the intention 
of thus proposal to expedite the procedure by specifying the submission of proof of 
ownership such as registration certificate and official receipt in the case of registered 
vehicles and components, and the proper muniments of title of transaction for 
unregistered vehicles and components. 
The Bill also provides that owners and or operators of inter-island ships/boats/vessels 
must submit their respective reports to the Philippine National Police to enable the 
police to efficiently monitor this kind of shipment. 
Approval of the measure is earnestly sought.
