    Question, kung bibili ng bagong car, pwede ma magrequest ng plate number na yung first three letters ay initials ko ex. ERV tapos kahit anung numbers na. Considered special/vanity plate pa din ba ito?

    or better kung halimbawa "ERV 613" ang plate at available naman, pwede ba irequest na yun ang ibigay ng LTO for my car?

    ^ ang pwede lang irequest ay yung last number for coding purposes. Ganyan kasi sa kin e un lang tinatanong. Other than that special plate na yan. Mas mura ata pag custom 3 number kaysa sa custom 2. Dati wala pang 2 e.

    The reason for special plates is to enable more plates to be issued especially in metro manila at a certain cost.. which was stated on this thread.. 3 letters 3 numbers *P15K and 3 letters and 2 numbers *P25K.

    but this also paved way for more corruption/lagay. It wasn't supposed to be that way...saan ang matuwid na daan? hmmmm.

    I even talked to one LTO personnel before..inquiring lang on these plates while my car was being registered...sabi pa rin it will still cost around P5K more kasi daw..papa approve pa sa branch head..etc...

    sabi nga..only in the Philippines...

    Pwede ka rin magpa-request ng sandwich number. 101, 202, 303, 808 ... etc.

    Pero kapag custom talaga may bayad na -- (abc123) = 15k ; (abc12) = 25k

    I think it is.. saw same thing but on a taxi..maybe they are running out of letter number combination so now its twisted around.. numbers then letters.

    Please check my math...

    • The three-letter + three-number combinations can potentially yield 17,576,000 unique plate numbers (from AAA-000 to ZZZ-999)
    • A 2009 study indicates that there are 33 motorized vehicles per 1,000 people (excluding motorcycles)
    • As of 2010, the Philippine population is 92M


    So that would roughly come up to a little over 3 million vehicles in the whole of the Philippines. Even if I miss the mark by 100%, the number of motorized vehicles wouldn't come anywhere near the 17.5M plate number limit.

    Is this a correct assessment?

    May bayad din ang sandwich number. Usually nasa 1K to 2K depende sa number. May bayad din ata yung 100, 200, 300, 800, etc.
