Experiences/Tips getting a Drivers License

[BratPAQ]

Any tips here? I'll be heading to LTO tomorrow to convert my student permit to non-pro. So far dami ko na naging problem, 1st problem, sinamahan ako ng bayaw ko saying ok "palakad" dito, so ayun palakad naman kami. Maghapon kami naghintay, walang nangyayari, yun pala gumagawa na ng fake na lisensya, so in the end, nagbayad kami ng mahal dahil sa fake na lisensya, tinapon ko na yun.

2nd try, kaninang umaga, letseng fixer yan, inisnab ko na, diretso ako sa loob ng LTO, sa gate tinuro ako sa mga table for drug test at medical exam, kaso ang mga iyon eh sa labas ng LTO east ave. So drug test, then med exam, then dinala ako sa isang table at di ko alam kung ano, hinihingan ako ng P1,800 at ginawan ako ng application form. Sabi ko sa loob ako magbabayad, hindi sa kanila, ayaw ibigay yung mga papel ko, nagkasagutan, pinabayaran na lang sa kin yung application form ng 100 petot, binayaran ko na lang para makausad na. Nagtataka ako at bago isoli sa kin yung papel ko eh kinuha yung Name ko at Yung student permit number. Ngayon di ko alam kung anong gagawin nila sa permit no. ko

Banas na ko, letseng mga fixer to, ayaw akong tigilan. Bukas babalik ako para i-try ulit, this time loob kagad ng LTO ang pupuntahan ko dahil may drug test na ko at med exam. ang di ko lang alam kung bakit kinuha nung fixer yung name ko at student permit no. nakasagutan ko kasi yung babae, pede kayang harangin ng tao nila sa loob yung application ko?

May madadagdag pa ba kayong tips/experience? Gano ba kabilis kung mag start ako ng 8am ng umaga?

Dont deal with fixers

[Guessboy]

i'm sure may procedure naman sa loob ng LTO compound kung paano i convert yung student to non-pro..tiyagain mo lang na basahin para matapos mo..nung ako ganyan, nagpa exam pa eh.ewan ko lng ngayon.

pag maraming tao, matagal talaga process, lalo na pag meron kang exam.
w/in the day matatapos mo din un

Your problem started when you dealt with the fixer...Don't deal with fixers.
They bog down the system.

share ko experience ko regarding dito.

ako naman, yun kasama ng erpats ko sa work, may kilala sa lto caloocan. so sinamahan ako dun ng 8am. actually, hindi naman dinaan sa palakasan kasi pumila pa rin ako at nag antay. ang ginawa lang sa akin eh, tinulungan lang ako sa process, kung paano ang gagawin. bale syempre, una bibigyan ka ng application form at take note, libre eto. kung may humingi ng bayad sa yo, wag kang magbibigay at may watermark naman yun na not for sale eh. so fill up ako then drug test. so binayaran ko ang drug test at deretso ulit ako sa lto compound. so submit ko ang application form ko at nag antay ulit na matawag. so ang next step ko is written exam na. don't worry, common sense ang exam at kahit hindi ka bigyan ng notes, masasagot mo naman yun. kung ikaw eh sweswertehin, hindi ka na bibigyan ng actual exam o hands-on. pero maghanda ka lang dito. sa case ko kasi, wala na ko hands on. so after ng mga 15 minutes eh tinawag na pangalan ko for picture taking, meaning pasado na pala ako sa exam. then after lang ng ilang oras ulit ng pag-aantay, released na ang non-pro license card ko.

during nga pala sa process na eto, syempre naka-encounter din ako ng mga fixers. ang sinabi ko lang sa kanila eh, meron na po ako kausap. better yet eh wag mo pansinin. oo nga pala, bakit ka dyan sa main lto kukuha? madami talagang tao dyan. better dun ka nalang sa mga ibang offices. wala bang malapit sa inyo? taga saan ka nga pala?

[_Qwerty_]

hmmmm ako naman don ako sa LTO sa may Tayuman kumuha dati.. ganon din.. madami ding fixers.. pero hindi ko pinansin.. diretso ako sa loob.. tapos nung mag drug test.. diretso ako sa clinic don sa labas.. then balik LTO.. then exam na..

nagka problema lang nung mag actual driving na.. sira daw kasi yung sasakyan nila.. owner na bulok na parang 10 years nang nakapark don.. so magbigay na lang daw ako nang 150 don sa counter.. hindi nga ako nagbigay.. sabi ko wala namang actual test eh... tapos yun.. pumayag din sila.. kaya lang nung time na yun.. 2 weeks pa maghihintay bago ma release yung license..

basta act smart.. wag yung parang wala kang alam.. diretso ka lang sa LTO office.. and don ka lang sa cashier magbabayad..

MANILA, Philippines -- The police busted Tuesday a big-time syndicate which allegedly issued authentic license plates and Land Transportation Office (LTO) documents for vehicles stolen in Metro Manila.
Two of those arrested, Orly Villaflor and Roberto Aristorenas, were employees of the LTO plate section.
The third was identified as Vilma Castillo, who claimed she worked for an insurance office inside the LTO compound on East Avenue, Quezon City.
Found in her possession were dozens of blank Original Receipt (OR) and Certificate of Registration (CR) forms. Also seized during the operation were several blank LTO license plates.
Superintendent Napoleon Cauyan, who led the operation, said they were looking for four more LTO employees believed to be members of the group as well.
“This raid covers six months of surveillance and talking to informants. We have deployed at least 200 policemen, including members of the Special Weapons and Tactics [unit]. [This] is the biggest [operation] to be mounted against the syndicate,” Cauyan said.
During the operation, the police raided eight establishments inside the LTO com pound on East Avenue.
The establishments, which did not have signboards, sold items ranging from clothes to car insurance. The police, however, said that some of the stores served as fronts for the syndicate and employed “fixers.”
Castillo told the Philippine Daily Inquirer that a fixer gave her the blank LTO documents which she was selling at P700 each.
Cauyan, however, said, that a “set”—composed of an OR, CR and a license plate—sold for much more.
“This is not only falsification but also economic sabotage because each set could be sold for a maximum of P100,000 and the government [has probably] been defrauded of hundreds of millions of pesos,” he added.
Castillo, meanwhile, denied that she was a member of the syndicate.
“I don’t know any car thieves. We only deal with people who ask us to help them process their OR and CR,” she said in Filipino.
Glenda Lacambra, an employee who worked in one of the shops which was raided, also denied that she was involved in illegal activities.
“We are not doing anything illegal, we just offer our services to those who are busy and cannot attend to these things,” she said.
Chief Superintendent Roberto Rosales, National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) director, who led the operation, said the raid was aimed at drastically reducing car theft cases in Metro Manila.
“The daily report of stolen vehicles has escalated and by breaking the source of the documents and plate numbers, we will immediately decrease the car robbery [cases] and this raid is only the tip of the iceberg,” Rosales said.
Superintendent Maristelo Manalo, NCRPO anticar theft head, said the vehicle commonly targeted by car thieves was the Toyota Fortuner.
“At least the three motorcycles and two sport utility vehicles are being stolen daily in Metro Manila since January,” Manalo told the Inquirer.
Also present during the operation were Quezon City Police District officials headed by Chief Supt. Elmo San Diego and Superintendents Franklin Moises Mabanag and Gerardo Ratuita.

kakukuha ko lang kahapon sa east ave. ayos naman pagkuha, matagal lang sa actual driving test dahil isa-isa, pero isang ikot lang sa test track kaya mabilis, kung sa east ave kayo kukuha mas magandang magdala kayo ng sasakyan nyo, ang hirap gamitin ng oner ng LTO, parang lasing yung kambyo nya hirap hanapin ng neutral at primera at hirap din ng clutch.

at hanggat maaari nandun ka na sa loob ng LTO ng 7:30AM, halos 30 minutes din yung drug test at med exam, kaya maganda kinuha mo na yung med exam sa ibang araw o mas maaga.

Here's a tip...a well-trained orangutan can finish the written exam in a jiffy. And never deal with fixers! Not only do they prey on those who are lazy and rich, but they make the process even harder!
