HOUSE BILL No, 5085

HON. FELIX WILLIAM B, FUENTEBELLA

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the existing Goa, Camarines Sur Extension Office of the
Land Transportation Office (LTO) into a regular LTO Class “D” District Office to be
located in the Municipality of Tigaon in the Province of Camarines Sur.

The existing Goa LTO Extension Office has a growing clientele in the Partido
Area, which consists of ten (10) municipalities and also a portion of the Rinconada Area
that its services as a mere extension office has become inadequate. Its conversion into a
regular District Office will carry with it full driver’s licensing functions and other
services capabilities for LTO clients in the area. This will not only benefit local clients,
who at times need to travel to far distant places like Iriga City and Naga City for other
motor vehicle registration and/or driver's licensing transactions but will also decongest
average transaction volumes in Iriga City and Naga City District Offices, that will
effectively result to efficient and lower processing time of transactions, Likewise, its
transfer to the Municipality of Tigaon, which is now the national government center in
the Partido Area due to the presence of national agencies of the government, will place it
at the hub of its service area without having undue inconvenience to the clients at Goa
and contiguous municipalities

In sum, the conversion and transfer, other than to enhance public services, will
hasten the long term development of the area through the projected economic and social
activity that the presence of LTO District Office may generate, without creating any
spatial reorganization.

Moreover, the conversion into a regular LTO District necessitates the creation of
plantilla positions to complement the expansion of services. This will be effectively
addressed by increasing the funding allocation proportionate to that of a regular LTO
Class “D” Regular District Office

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

ATTY. FELIX WILL! IMPY* B, FUENTEBELLA.
