They proudly display a banner that "people should not deal with fixers" but reality is they themselves are corrupt!
Went there Jan 31 for my car registration/license renewal around 1:30pm. I have been doing business with them since 2002 (lipat from Muntinlupa) and ok naman, I usually finish within 2 hours. This time though I am in for a bad experience ... they released my stickers & receipt almost 6pm.
I never deal with fixers because ayaw ko contribute to the "demand" for them, and as I said even if I do this, less than 2 hours natatapos naman ako. Pero grabe ang kapal ng mukha ng mga tao dun ngayon. I was with several people who also decided to take the normal way, and true enough sama sama kami nahuli to get out docs/stickers close to 6pm na.
1. The assistants in green kept on coming inside the cashier's booth to pull out "preferred applicants" docs and bump the rest in line (I actually witnessed this more than 6x before I went in and question the (forgive me) stupidly-helpless-di ko po alam-tanungin nyo po dun sa window cashier (Ms. A Jimenez).
2. Even the people inside kept on bringing in docs with money already, and they too bumped the people's docs who were there first (naka-ID pa sya ha).
3. They call out first the registration with higher fees (P3k+, P2k+), pero every 10 call outs meron naman tinatawag na under P2k+ and yung pang license (less than P600/500/400).
I went to the cashier and ask her why she allows bumping to happen when everybody who are waiting in the hall can see what's she's doing. She answered "di ko po alam yan" ... I went nuts (kasi past 5pm na) and told her di ako naniniwala kasi nakailan na sya na pinalulusot at sya may hawak ng kaha. I was really mad kasi may mga tao na student permit lang, more than 3 hours waiting kasi nga singit ng singit inside. Tapos puro tanungin yo po dun sa window, di ko po alam, eto lang po sa pila, etc. Ay naku, hindi talaga ako umalis dun at kinukulit ko yung cashier. At the end the other lady who issues the stickers and make you sign the logbook apologized, pasensya na daw. I said "No, you should all quit your job and mangurakot na lang kayo. How can you sleep at night knowing na sa ginagawa ninyo para na rin kayo mga magnanakaw?".
Nagalit na ako talaga and I said words which I now regret. Nakalimutan ko na Kristyano ako and I'm not proud of me that day. I just hope may puntahan pa din ito bansa natin. Ang gobyerno natin really has gone to the dogs, nakakawalang gana na talaga.
No fixers at LTO? C'mon. That LTO office should change the streamer there with "Do not deal with Fixers OUTSIDE ... It is faster when we fix it INSIDE".
