Finally, LTO is set to release license plates by March next year.

After the delay in the issuance of license plates caused by the temporary restraining order of the Supreme Court (SC) on June 2016, drivers are expected to get their license plates this coming March 2018.


As per Pateña of PNA, The Land Transportation Office (LTO) will start issuing license plates by March next year it is after the LTO issued  a notice of award to the winning bidder in the procurement of license plates worth PHP978.8 million last December 1.


The winning bidder:
  1. Trojan Computer Forms Manufacturing Corporation
  2. J.H. Tonnjes E.A.S.T. GmbH & Co. KG Joint Venture
According to LTO chief and Department of Transportation Assistant Secretary Edgar Galvante, “The LTO assures the public that the agency is doing the best it can, in compliance with existing laws and regulations, to deliver the license plates.”

Caused of delay?

The delay in the issuance of license plates was caused by the temporary restraining order of the Supreme Court (SC) on June 2016 preventing the LTO and then Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC)  from distributing 700,000 license plates turned over by the Bureau of Customs after the plates' supplier-importer failed to pay the required customs duties.

Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Arthur Tugade approved the request and allocated PHP1 billion from the department’s budget for LTO’s procurement of license plates in November last year.
