LTO warns old vehicle owners

TO address the issue of the 1.3 million old vehicles in the streets nationwide, Land Transportation Office chief Assistant Secretary Reynaldo Berroya announced yesterday that the agency has implemented a program which would greatly diminish their number.

Dubbed “Oplan Balik Rehistro,” the nationwide activity will focus on an information awareness campaign to convince motorists to renew the registration of their vehicles coupled with a simultaneously and massive enforcement drive.

Under the program motorists who voluntarily renew the registration of their old vehicles will have substantial discount on the fees imposed by the LTO.

For example, if a vehicle has not been renewed since 2003 the motorist will pay the fees for the year 2005 and 2006 plus 50 percent penalty for the year 2006. If the vehicle is apprehended the motorist will pay the necessary fees for 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 plus 50% penalty for every year of non-renewal.

Motorists who have not renewed their registration for so long are urged to avail of this voluntary renewal program or face apprehension or car seizure.

Berroya said motorcycles comprises the biggest portion of these old vehicles at 68% of roughly 890,000. This is followed by the UV/USV category which takes 19% or 280,000 vehicles. Cars take up 7% or a total of 90,398 while trucks and buses trail with 5% and 1%, respectively.

Based on these figures the government loses P300 to P400 million in yearly revenues.

Berroya also said that simultaneous with “Oplan Balik Rehistro” will be the implementation of a massive apprehension campaign.

He said that he will personally lead the fight to rid the roads and highways of dilapidated vehicles.

LTO warns old vehicle owners

He said that he will personally lead the fight to rid the roads and highways of dilapidated vehicles.

The above statement is politically correct. However, IMO, it is just a paper tiger...

I thought that LTO will now retire vehicles who are already X years old (and are not anymore road-worthy).... There are a lot of them on the road.....

kala ko retire na mga old vehicles lalo na yung hindi kaayaya sa daan. sana before renewal ng registration ng old vehicles, check muna nila if worthy pa na nasa daan yung vehicle na yun....

[oldblue]

meron 1.3M old vehicles na unregistered ngaun?

[roninblade]

i think 1.3M is a conservative estimate especially kung kasama ang motorcycles. kasama na bike ko dun, di ko sya na-register this year. di ko kasi nagagamit.

[mhelskie]

kala ko ire retire na ung mga lumang sasakyan tsk, mahirap magawang ipa rehistro ung mga lumang sasakyan

[Syuryuken]

Kala ko naman hindi na irerenew yung mga old vehicles.

imho, if they are going to penalize non-updated registration, they should at least give little discounts to those who register their vehicles in advance or in time. maski 10% lang. this way, magkakaroon ng incentive ang vehicle owners to register their vehicles earlier or on time.

Bago sa pwesto si Chief.. Pansinin nyo tuwing may bagong umuupo sa pwesto.. Kahit sa PNP, AFP or any other gov't agency.. May mga ganitong ginagawa.. Nagpapakilala ba. Pero I hope di sya tutulad sa mga ibang nagpapakilala lang.

And I agree with CVT.. akala ko total ban na ang gagawin sa mga old/not road worthy vehicles.
