EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The LTO Region II has strongly endorsed the conversion of several of its missionary 
field offices or extension offices into regular district offices in order to serve its growing 
clientele more efficiently and effectively. LTO Region II currently has seven (7) existing 
missionary field offices or extension offices servicing the entire region. These extension 
offices have no separate plantilla of personnel nor its own operational budget and 
relies entirely on the regional office for all its needs. 
One of the extension offices being recommended for conversion is the LTO Tuao 
Extension Office, hence this bill. This bill aims to convert the existing Land 
Transportation Office (LTO) Tuao Extension Office into a regular LTO District Office 
and transferring its office from Lakambini, Municipality of Tuao to the Municipality of 
Solana, Province of Cagayan for a more strategic and accessible location and bigger 
office compound. It will then be known as the LTO Solana District Office. 
The increasing number of vehicles being sold in the market has resulted into larger 
motor vehicle registration and driver’s license transactions. LTO Tuao Extension 
Office’s total revenue from 2017-2022 from all its transactions amounts to Php 
134,796,632.40.  In the same period, it has also processed 69,499 motor vehicle 
registration and 39,204 licenses and permits issued and made 2,625 apprehensions. 
Converting the LTO Tuao Extension Office into a regular district office will enable it to 
have a personnel compliment and budget of its own included in the annual General 
Appropriations Act which in turn would result in a better, faster and more efficient LTO 
office that will benefit all its clientele in the Province of Cagayan.  
In lieu of the foregoing, the passage of this bills is earnestly sought.
