LTO to suspend issuance of student driver’s permit starting July 1 | Cebu Daily News

MANILA, Philippines — The issuance of student driver’s permits will be suspended starting July 1, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) said Monday.

LTO chief Edgar Galvante said starting August 3, those who want to acquire a student’s permit should have already undergone a 15-hour theoretical driving course.

“Effective July 1, isu-suspend muna namin ang pag-iissue ng student permit kasi by August irerequire na na dapat yung nag-aapply ng student permit went through this 15 hours of theoretical session,” Galvante said in an interview over Teleradyo.
