EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks for the conversion of the LTO Extension Office in Trento, Agusan Del Sur into 
a regular LTO District Office. 
The Municipality of Trento is situated in the southern part of Agusan Del Sur which serves as 
the entry point to the Caraga Region for motorist and the people travelling from the Davao Region 
and Bislig, Surigao Del Sur. Strategically located at a national highway junction, it has become a 
commercial destination for the people from the municipalities of Sta. Josefa, Veruela, Loreto, La 
Paz and Bunawan, Agusan Del Sur; Monkayo, Montevista, and Nabunturan of Davao De Oro and 
the 2nd District of Surigao Del Sur.  
The transacting clients from the aforementioned places have been requesting for an LTO 
District Office in Trento considering the 105.4 kilometer distance to Prosperidad where the only 
LTO District Office in the province is located. Converting the same would translate to shorter 
queues and faster processing of transactions in Prosperidad.  
If realized, the conversion of the extension office into a regular LTO district office would 
present a positive economic impact to Trento, the host municipality. 
In view of the foregoing, the immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
