Plate starting in "Y" in Metro Manila

[1997]

How would you know if its legal or not if the plate number starts with "y"? A friend of mine got caught in Q.C. and was told that his EK hatch papers is illegal... So now how would you be 100% sure that the car that you are getting is legal when the plate starts in "y" and imported pa?

ngek, hinuli? eh kung galing naman sa cebu yang ek niya, illegal pa rin ba? eh dito sa atin, may designation ang mga letters sa plate numbers natin eh

baka naman may hokus pokus sa pag process ng imported ek nyan.

diba from cebu usually mga ganyan?

Yap from Cebu nga... Buti na nga lang may kakilala sila sa Camp Crame... Im planning to buy kasi ng Car kaso "Y" yung plate kaya medjo hesitant ako...

That should not be a problem. Modus lang yan ng mga sira-ulong mga pulis. Importation of the car should be under the Bureau of Customs. Since registered na yung car sa LTO, wala nang paki-alam ang mga hinayupak na pulis na yan! Bwiset!

as usual..those "Quezon City's finest (?!)" policemen were just hunting money for meryenda.

my uncle's friend has a Toyota Fortuner with a plate number that starts with "K" (no it's not a special plate) then the police pulled him over and asked for the registration papers and said that it was illegal and fake! my uncle's friend that time was in a hurry so he gave the "mamang pulis" what he wants. nothing else but a 200 peso bill.... huhhh.. darn cops
