LTO, Customs to strictly enforce EO 156 ban on 'surplus cars'

[bananatype]

Light trucks are exempted from the importation ban including parts and components.

Ah nuts, you're right. Thanks. So much for the brighter side...jeepneys will live forever at this rate.

We can expect an underground market of collision parts (fenders, hoods, trunks, doors, lights, glass...) from junked B- and R-plate cars to flourish. The body shells can be sold "por kilo" or turned into artifical reefs. Engines and ladder frames can't be commercially traded so they're ripe for "por kilo" as well.

Any CEZA plate owners here tried renewing their car's registration with LTO after the SC ruling?

For me, I still have to wait until September since 9 ang dulo ng plaka ko. I wonder kung ano ang ending plate nung ke BG.

Also, aside from B plates, may mga R plates na rin bang nakapag-renew?

Swerte siguro ng mga may plaka na 1 and 2 kasi nakapag-rehistro na sila

[mateomarco]

Our unit ends in 0 naman so matagal tagal pang sleepless nights... ill observe yung may makikita akong B plate na ending 1 or 2 kung may sticker na...

Makikiride lang sa usapan...

Si gf may japan surplus na toyota surf. Registered in diliman so ang plate nya starts with X**-*** bawal na din ito?

Afaik kasama siya. Pero wala pa nga final guidelines eh. Dapat meron na apara alam na gagawin ng mga tao.

[testament11]

Mag-release na sila ng IRR para dito. Ang daming vehicle owners ang macoconfuse kasi lalo na at iba iba ang interpetation nila doon sa dalawang EO

Sana ng ilabas na yung guidelines. Tagal na yung surf sa kanila. Around 6 years na. Malaki na din ginastos kasi bagong overhaul lang din a few months back.

Magiging cash cow nanaman yan ng mga buwaya sa daan para mangotong. Dapat properly informed lahat ng tao

[crazy_boy]

Sana nga mag release na ng guidelines. Para alaman na if pwede pa ba bumili ng mga converted/used imports.

Tsk... This is bad. Yari na ang sasakyan ko kung magkaganito man. Pero ang amin lang, wala man lang bang IRR para dito?

Let the fireworks begin. Kupalan nalang din yan on the side of the dealer to close shop and avert losses. Tago mode na yan.

I was just salivating over an M5 station wagon with B plates a few days ago.

Ito ang sana naman hwag mangyari skin...hopefully by the time my renewal month arrives, maayos na ang lahat...may maayos na guidelines at syempre napapatapad ng maayos...

My fearless forecast is that LTO will "condone" the surplus cars already in private hands and will continue renewing them. It's just too impractical for each LTO agency to deny renewal based on the prefix (B, R, Y...) and examining differences in year model vs. 1st registration. It's also an invitation to corruption.

Besides, I'm sure there are powerful people who bought surplus cars that will influence government policy at the department & bureau level. Hell, I've even seen some red-plate local gov't vehicles that are obviously surplus, ex. Mitsu Jeep J23, Delica,..

Cheers

Ambulances and vehicles used for public service and business (cargo/delivery, firetrucks, etcetera) have long been exempted from the ban.
