    Please no piliosopo answers.... Just wanted to ask this what are the differences if you are a Professional holder vs a Non-Professional holder? This is more of a out of curiosity question. Thanks!

    by the term it implies, professional is used for livelihood, or something that you are earning from while driving (e.g. driver, instructor, etc.)

    non-pro is the opposite.

    Non-Pro, you can’t exceed 4.5K kgs vehicle gross weight and for private use only.
    Professional, you can drive beyond 4.5K kgs vehicle gross weight depending on your restrictons, can also use the vehicle for public use.

    May difference ba sa liability kung pro ka or non-pro if you you are involved in an accident?

    May nagsabi kasi sa akin before na mas malaki pananagutan ng pro license holder as compared sa non-pro if it involves the same accident. Is this true?

    If both are driving a passenger car/SUV/AUV, walang pagkakaiba sa liability. But if a non-pro license holder driving a For Hire vehicle and is involved in an accident, the insurance company will not shoulder the expenses.

    So is there a disadvantage of getting a pro license?

    From the way I understand it, a pro license holder can do anything a non-pro license holder can do (assuming they have the same restrictions). But a non-pro cannot drive a vehicle used for commercial purposes (i.e. jeepney, UV express).

    kung mga L300, (close van or the FB) pwede naman, pero yung mga canter/elf, lalo na yung mga 6wheeler, kailangan na ng pro,

    kuha na lang kayo sir dct ng pro license para sigurado, siguro naman gagastos man kaunti sa pagkuha ng license, pero bawi naman yan pag nag-drive ka na truck for business.. (profit)

    Exactly Sir jut703,

    Hindi po pwede mag-drive ang non-pro sa mga commercial vehicles (yellow plate) kahit walang passenger and travelling from one point to another.. (public road)

    kung sa sariling area naman (home garage), pwede naman i-drive..hehe

    Depende. If you work as a driver you need pro.
    Pero if hindi naman driver nature of work mo, kung kunyare sales agent ka and you drive. Non pro should do

    if you derive income directly from driving, then you have to have a pro DL.
    if you drive to get from place to place where you do your income-generating activity, a non-pro DL is fine.
    but beyond certain vehicle size/weight/wheel number, a pro is required, i think.
