My ex-gf and now my kumare also lost the front plate of her car and when she went to her friend's cousin at LTO, hiningian sya ng 3k all in all....bale sabi kasi sa kanya non-appearance na raw sa motor vehicle inspection pati na PNP clearance. I told her mahal yun and maybe the LTO officer is just trying to make some money out of her.

Maybe someone with the same experience can help assess if the cost is justifiable or not.....
