1998 cars and older can no longer register with LTO?

[Bud_wiser]

Read this in a tabloid today. Apparently the LTO wants to enforce a provision of the Clean Air Act requiring a ban on a kind of ozone damaging freon. I'm ok with that, but why penalize the car owners? Can't you just stop air con repair shops from selling the old freon and switch to the new one? Or maybe modify the airconditioning system of older cars to make it run on the newer refrigerant? Why risk angering thousands or even millions of car owners when there's a better way to enforcing this law?

Can you guys confirm this? Totoo ba 'to or just another sensationalized headline from a tabloid?

bro!!!

I just called the LTO medyo mali nga daw yung lumalabas na balita.

Kailangan lang palitan nang R12 to new freon yun lang daw gagawin tapos pwede na parehistro.

Mali naman kasi sinarado na kaagad yung thread na yun pwero kung babasahin mo nga talaga yung sa Abante ngayon matatakot ka kung 98 pababa car mo.

Ako nga natakot pero dahil alam ko number sa ofc ni Ms. Lontoc tumawag kaagad ako at explain sa akin kung ano ang dapat ko gawin.
