LTO to implement RFID tags

[1D4LV]

one thing also that's very unclear to me is in what form will the monitoring tool will be and how it actually works. ito po ba ay isang gun scanner or isang scanner na naka mount sa mga poste at strategic points around the city? or maybe both? sa aking palagay ay sobrang kulang po ang information drive ng gobyerno tungkol dito. how does RFID really works and it's limitations.

based on the design as presented by LTO, mounted scanners ang gagamitin.

but i am still thinking kung pano gagawin pag magpapatints o magpapatanggal ng tints, bibili ulit ng bagong RFID? im sure, di pwedeng tungkabin yung nakakabit na dahil masisira.

Are they LTO-bozos cutting away the tint because the tint is interfering with the transmit/recieve function?

Para namang hindi pinag-aralan na naman ito ah. Banat ng banat, wala namang nangyari.

[SIZE="5"]RFID implementation is illegal, says Recto[/SIZE]

THE implementation by the Land Transportation Office (LTO) of the controversial radio-frequency vehicle identification (RFID) system without going through the required legal process, including prior approval by the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda), is “illegal,” former senator Ralph Recto said.

Recto, who had served as Neda director general, said “the implementation of the RFID system is illegal after failing to go through the process prescribed by our existing laws.”

“As it [mandatory installation of RFID] increased fees and charges charged by the LTO in registering new vehicles, it should have undergone Neda evaluation to determine its reasonableness,” Recto said.

He added that the implementation of the RFID system should also have the approval of the Neda board chairma, President Arroyo.

“If this is being implemented despite the escalating uproar from motorists, is it correct to assume that this has the imprimatur of the President? But if she’s not aware of this, who signed on the dotted lines?” Recto asked. “Who is powerful enough to bypass President Arroyo in the approval of the RFID system?”

Recto recalled that the award of the RFID project to Stradcom Corp. and its hasty implementation become even more suspect “as we approach the end of the Arroyo administration and the May 2010 elections.”

The former Neda chief noted that the RFID project proponents even ignored a Malacañang-issued Memorandum Circular 137-2007 which requires all heads of national government agencies, including government-owned and/or -controlled corporations, to seek prior clearance from the Neda Board before imposing new fees or increasing existing ones.

“The memo had been bypassed by the LTO when it proceeded to implement the RFID system at the start of this year, on top of allegations it violated procurement laws because the project was awarded without bidding,” he said.

For his part, LTO chief Arturo Lomibao claimed that the RFID is a cutting-edge technology that uses radio waves to identify vehicles and transmit related information remotely and in real time. The system, he explained, would allow the LTO and other law enforcement agencies to access vehicle information to aid in traffic management, law-enforcement and crime prevention.

According to its proponents, the RFID tag, which is in the form of a sticker, will last for 10 years and will be made available to at least 4.76 million vehicles at P350 a piece.

But Recto argued that the benefits of the system should not justify its haphazard approval and implementation. “The laws that govern these kinds of undertakings are there to protect our citizens from the abuses or corruption that may attend these contracts and projects. Why is the LTO in a hurry to implement the RFID?” he said.

Recto insisted that obtaining the approval of the Neda Board for the increase in fees and charges charged by the LTO had been promulgated “for a reason.”

“Increasing fees and charges, like the effect of the RFID system, entails costs to the public. Not only that, it also affects the cost of doing business in the country. This is why it is important to evaluate how an increase of these fees and charges will affect all stakeholders,” he said.

Once the RFID is fully implemented, over 6 million vehicles will be required to pay higher fees on vehicle registration yearly, and 100,000 to 150,000 new vehicles are registered yearly.

Recto recommended that the government “rethinks its position and suspends the implementation of the RFID system so it can undergo the proper process.”

Lol.. there's no honor among thieves. Sila-sila (government agencies) walang respeto sa isa't-isa.

[_Qwerty_]

kaya nila ni cu cut yung tint.. para sa salamin nakadikit yung RFID tags.. so kahit mag pa tint ka ulit.. mapapatungan lang yung tags.. so forever na yang RFID tags don sa winshield mo.. not unless mabasagan ka nang windshield..

Some car tints have a metallic layer which can block radio signals to and from the RFID tag. This is why the LTO requires the tint be cut-out when installing the RFID tag.

maybe one would just remove the RFID sticker intact as possible from the old tint and just buy and use the thinnest double-sided tape or emler's glue all from your suking bookstore.
