Is there a shortage of LTO stickers?

[mikey177]

Yup. Our tax pesos hard at work for the development of the country

I had a bad experience with LTO binan last year, the same thing with your problem, Mine had the Infamous "NO STICKER AVAILABLE" marked on my OR last year. They told me to go back after a week but to my surprise, there is still no available sticker for my car, come a month and then a year, i even had a problem registering my car this year after the inspectors at LTO Tunasan Munt. told that i had no sticker number. (the one you see at the plate and window sticker). I even had to beg the officers at LTO Binan there for that number. As for the no sticker available, i was constantly flagged down by MAPSA as well as mmda people in pasay and qc. I just told them that LTO Binan had a shortage of stickers (Actually Until Now). For those people living in the south like me, better change to LTO muntinlupa, best services yet ive experienced they even assist you in the registration with lil or no commission at all.

It turns out the old lady handing out the stickers thought I was renewing the registration for a motorcyle --hence, she only gave me one sticker last week.

Bawal na ang pork kay lola. Memory gap. :D

I had the LTO registration of my Sedona renewed on the first week of June. Unfortunately, LTO Dagupan said the 2007 stickers weren't available yet, and said I had to comeback next week to get them.

So, I went back to their office last Wednesday, and the lady at the counter gave me just one piece of sticker for my license plate (click link for photo). Sabi nya "Okay na yan," which was the same response I got from the security guard at the door leading to the inside of their office when I asked him if I could go in to inquire about it.

Medyo low batt ako nung araw na yon, kaya hinayaan ko na lang at umalis na ako. Looking back though, I feel I should have been more persistent since I am after all the one who is going to get a ticket if I get flagged down for having only one license plate sticker and no windshield sticker to boot.

I just wanted to ask you guys who have registered recently if there is in fact a shortage of LTO stickers. If not, do you think I should complain to the LTO head office before trooping back to LTO Dagupan?

Buti ka pa may nakuha. Ako 8 months na plate pa lang ang nasa akin. Kahit isang sticker wala. Pero I noticed yung iba na bumili ng car ng late 2007 meron mga sticker.

Kanino kaya pwede reklamo ito?

when i had my car registered during the second week of january, 2008, ganun din ang nangyari. the LTO employee told me to go back na lang or call muna to check on the availability of the sticker.

since ang talagang scheduled registration ko is last week ng january, ok lang sa akin. and i went back last week of january to get the sticker. may naibigay naman sila.

so kung baga, two week delay lang ako.

LTO las pinas nga pala.

^^^ Talagang ganyan dito sa ating lugar bro....

[nicolodeon]

Na experience ko last year na maubusan ng sticker. I had to return for it twice bago ko nakuha.

[digic]

Pero still wala pa rin ata naka experience ng nararanasan ko. Its already more than 8 months up to now wala pa ako sticker...

Revive ko lang po thread na 'to. I got my AUV from Mitsubishi dealership on September 2, 2009. Since nasa province din naman, i chose a regional license plate for faster processing. By Sept. 25, I got the plates. Kaso walang LTO sticker na kasama kasi out of stock daw accdg. sa liaison officer ng casa. In short, patapos na ang November pero wala pang sticker. Tuwing follow-up ko, puro next week ng next week. May naka-experience na ba sa inyo na matagal niyo nang nakuha ang plates ng bnew car pero wala pang sticker? Cagayan Valley area lang ako so i don't see why walang sticker lagi ang LTO dito.

[Dec1983]

baka tinatamad lang yung liaison officer pumunta sa lto. ganun nangyari sa akin dati. "sir for pick-up na po matagal na"

[redeemed]

proven facts... dahil mismong bakuran ng LTO ang gulo...

History repeats itself
CTALK By Cito Beltran (The Philippine Star) Updated February 24, 2010 12:00 AM

“Those who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it.”
In the case of the Land Transportation Office, not only are they repeating history, the ending may also be the same.

According to a memo forwarded to me, no less than DOTC Secretary Leandro Mendoza has given Asec Lomibao 24 hours to explain: “the massive negative publicity arising from the LTO shortage of plates and stickers.”

The memo also “directed Lomibao’s attention” to the dire consequences resulting from this shortage, primarily in terms of the bogging down of the LTO system due to incomplete processing of transaction for motor vehicle registration.

The memo pointed out the “bad public perception of government’s image as shown by the LTO being incompetent and inefficient”, as well as the “negative impact on car sales and or proliferation of illegal activities by syndicate groups taking advantage of the shortage.”

Secretary Mendoza closed the memo by telling Lomibao “to immediately arrest the negative publicity, you are being directed to explain within 24 hours to the undersigned the circumstances surrounding this shortage and immediate actions that are being put to place.”

When Asec Lomibao came to the post, the original “plan” was supposed to be a temporary posting since he was intent on running for Congressman in Pangasinan, which in turn kept him busy as he surveyed and spent time going around Pangasinan and talking to would-be allies and supporters.
To make sure that everything went well, Lomibao reportedly brought in a 25-man team that holds fort at the LTO mezzanine floor. Soon enough the 25 man-committee got their fingers on contracts of the LTO’s existing suppliers.

In the meantime, long term employees and career officials of the LTO soon found life unbearable when the 25-man committee started to revive and resuscitate LTO officials who have been placed in the “freezer” for long term corruption and demanding fees from car manufacturers and importers.
There has also been a state of paranoia among LTO personnel because part of the psywar is that the 25-man team was using surveillance equipment they previously used under the National Anti-Kidnapping Task Force to randomly monitor LTO employees.

Not only did the 25-man committee interfere in LTO matters, a handful of them started to decide who got to see Lomibao. On one occasion, an ex-PNP even stopped closed friends of Lomibao whom the Asec had invited for lunch. One report even questioned how a lowly consultant could afford to drive around in a P2.5 million off road vehicle.

As the 25-man team moved in, they also moved in on contracts but did not fully understand the process. What happened was they held biddings three months late, changed the established terms of reference for biddings, brought in new suppliers who in turn did not have the capability.
In doing so, they created a three-month supply gap designed to get worse with suppliers with no capacity to meet established requirements.
As all of this was happening Asec Lomibao became the victim of a double-whammy. After his initial foray into Pangasinan, Lomibao soon discovered that the support he had been hoping for from the administration had been passed on to another candidate.

Forced to carry on with his supposed “temporary” assignment, Lomibao came back to an LTO in chaos, unable to issue registration stickers, and with an almost “zero inventory” of car plates. To make matters worse, organic LTO personnel were already sending out information to various media organizations and persons like myself.

If the report is accurate, I am told that even the Commission on Audit is poised to send out a statement criticizing the terms and conditions surrounding the supply of registration stickers and recommending a refund of the LTO’s money.

Last I heard, Asec Lomibao was angrily shouting at his staff and demanding an explanation as to what and how all the problems happened. This would indicate that even with his 25-man committee, Lomibao was kept in the dark and now has to take the fall.

Asec Lomibao might want to verify some of the information I received from several people from different districts of the LTO as well as sources in the private sector.

I don’t know just how many suppliers are supplying what, but in case Lomibao wants to know, the asking “rate” from bidders was allegedly 10% commission. Every bidder or supplier was assigned to one member of the 25-man committee. At least two people mentioned are supposed to be doing media and PR work.

When it became clear that a shortage would take place, a memo was sent out that Requests for System Update were centralized, when this did not buy enough time, the LTO made a request to concerned authorities to relax on arresting vehicles without number plates under the guise that there was an unusually large sale and registration of new vehicles.
This was subsequently followed by a “press release” that the sticker shortage had already been fixed even when the scheduled supply was still two weeks away.

Such a shortage is not new to the LTO. It has happened before and the official heading the LTO then also came from the PNP.
In much the same way, that general also had a bunch of not-so bright boys who wanted to cash in by bringing in their own suppliers to corner LTO contracts. In the end, the general got hell and had to pack his bags.
If it isn’t too late for Asec Lomibao, the only way to save the day is to get rid of the new suppliers as well as their assigned representative from the 25-man committee. “Call a friend” as they say on TV or get the old suppliers back because it has been 72 hours since the memo was written.

Typical way goverment runs itself. Hangang ngayon wala pa sticker oto ko...

[Type 100]

Got my car emission-tested and registered. I did this a month early - car goes "off the grid" on the first week of March.

At first all I got was the official receipt with a stamp that says stickers are in short supply. Two days later I got the windshield sticker, well and good. But it's been a few days since and I still don't have the little postage-stamp stickers for the license plates.

[digitalron]

After renewing the registration of my car 2nd week of Jan (plate ending "1"), I finally got my stickers today. Seven weeks in the making!

As for the plates of a new XTY that I purchased 1st week of February, I was told delivery of the plates and stickers will arrive next week. So looks like a few more days of waiting before I get the XTY fully "road-legitimized."

[cocoy]

LTO tagaytay wala parin stickers.. was there today asking for my stickers..

[falken]

Why do they always assign important government posts to incompetent fools?

[chua_riwap]

LTO tagaytay wala parin stickers.. was there today asking for my stickers..
