I think batch 2006 licenses talaga nagkaproblema ang LTO, last 2005 my license also got a little faded (sa picture but still recognizable)...renewed it last May of this year sa LTO Tayuman and so far after 3 months plus, it's still ok.
LTO chief Alberto Suansing has announced that the agency will again hold a rebid for the production of driver's licenses. The current contractor AMPI Mega Data may still join the bidding since the firm has been doing business with the government for over a decade now.
