There's only the 'temporary' plate I can think of for when your plate(s) got lost, damaged, or stolen. But you'll need to file the paperwork for a replacement to get your homemade plate legal. To start, you'll need a notarized affidavit of loss detailing what happened to the old plate(s). Then you will have to visit the LTO branch where your vehicle is registered and follow their lead in securing a replacement plate.
For a brand new car, I'm not even sure you'll be able to know what your assigned plate numbers are before you get your actual plates arrive. Were you given a registration number in the ABC-1234 format?
