    Not sure if that 16 plate is even his dad unless he is a bastard of the judge. The succeeding 3 letters after 16 is usually the initials of the judge(sometimes its the region where he is assigned but I can't think of a region called DPP).

    Mr. judge's lastname is P while douchebag candidate's lastname starts with a D.

    It doesn't work that way Sir. The letters pertain to the initials of the position, not the person's name. AFAIK, DPP stands for Deputy Provincial Prosecutor. This protocol plate is of the same rank as Provincial Prosecutors, City Prosecutors, Deputy City Prosecutors and Regional Trial Court Judges -- all of them bearing the number 16.

    from what i understand, this privilege plate privilege, was initially "granted" to these people who did not ask for it in the first place, by another office. why, i do not know. nasilawan siguro.. is there a subsequent law that actually allows its existence? (i ask, because i know not the answer.)

    aside from the pres and his vice, the supreme court chief justice and the 2 heads of the houses, i see no raison de etre for these plates.

    the reason these abusive guys want it is so obvious (the wangwang culture! power and intimidation, what else!)

    kung gusto nila, magpagawa sila ng plaka na may pangalan nila, para kilala kung sino yung nag-counterflow, etc.... don't hide behind the powerful anonymity of the "8", destroying its respectability..

    and to our lawmakers: there are less than 300 "8"s in the country. anyone who abuses it, be it a genuine lawmaker, a family member, a servant, renders you all a black eye in the public's eye. if you can not control it, then rescind it.

    lest we forget... it's a privilege, not a right.

    The truth is, those in power don't care what you think.

    There are now thousands of 8 plates out there. 2 issued for each Tongressman, plus all those who never returned theirs upon completion of term.

    May kakilala ako ganyan din dati, his dad had a Congressman friend kaya meron sila 2 pairs of "8" plates, they switch it around their cars, nakakabit kung alin ang coding, that was around 2000-03, di na kasi valid yung plate nila kaya di na rin nagamit.

    I've seen vehicles sporting the "8" with circa year 2004/2007 series pa - 2014 na.

    IIRC, these "8" plates used to include the congressional districts but was removed by our Honorable Congressman due to security issues DAW.

    i might be persuaded to allow these privileged "8" plates... but only if it were welded onto the cars!

    I agree that it should really be only the President, VP, Senate President, Speaker of the House and the CJ who should be granted such plates.

    They can refuse the use of the plate if they want to. I had a relative who had the privilege to use protocol plates, then diplomatic plates however he always chose to have regular plates on his cars.

    Still goes down to the question of "Why do members of Congress need these plates?"
    - Is their time REALLY much more important than the taxpaying public's time that they need to be given special traffic privileges?
    - Does it REALLY provide security? How many Senators or Congressmen move around without bodyguards and drivers? If at all, it provides a bigger target. Besides, if you wanted to have a hit on a Senator or Congressman, wouldn't you or the guy you're hiring actually do some research and figure out how to ambush the person?

    This is bullsh1t! Get rid of the plates altogether.

    They (Congress, etc.) don't need those plates... I agree definitely! For security reasons??? WTF those plates and their driving manners on the road has actually added to their list of enemies in most cases.

    thanks for the info sir. i thought it also works the same for #10 for justices plates where usually it's their initials that are on it. yan pala yung position na sinasabi sa akin that are the same rank nga as judges that i am not familiar with.
