The Land Transportation Office (LTO) clarified on Tuesday, Dec. 3, that the implementation of two memoranda relating to the use of improvised plates are still suspended “until further notice”.
The LTO issued the clarification amid questions and concerns from motorists who are seeking updates on the implementation of the Memorandum Circular VDM-2024-2721 and Memorandum Circular No. VDM-2024-2722.
The Memorandum Circular VDM-2024-2721 sets the guideline on the use of improvised plates for motor vehicles and motorcycles while the Memorandum Circular No. VDM-2024-2722 sets the guideline for the implementation and requirements for the participation in the motorcycle taxi pilot study.
Motor vehicle owners have earlier raised concerns on the implementation of the Memorandum Circular VDM-2024-2721 and sought for more time for them to secure their respective plates.
On September 30 this year, LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Atty. Vigor D. Mendoza II issued a memorandum suspending the implementation of the two memorandum circular in a bid to give more time for motor vehicle owners to obtain their respective license plates.
In order to assist the motor vehicle owners, Assec Mendoza has instructed all motor vehicle dealers to expedite the release of the license plates which are still under their possession.
In compliance with Assec Mendoza’s order, LTO regional and district offices also launched a program that paves the way to the door-to-door and free delivery of license plates.
On the other hand, motorcycle riders also asked the LTO to give them more time to comply with the requirements of the Memorandum Circular No. VDM-2024-2722 for the motorcycle pilot taxi study, particularly on the license plate and RFID requirements.
On November 27, Assec Mendoza issued another memorandum circular reminding all regional directors and other officials of the LTO that the deferment of the implementation of the two memorandum circulars were extended until further notice.
“In the best interest of the service and to give the motor vehicle and motorcycle dealers an ample time to have the plates distributed to the respective owners, the Memorandum dated 02 September 2024 entitled ‘Deferment of Memorandum dated 30 July 2024 re Deferment of Implementation of Memorandum Circular No. VDM-2024-2721 and Memorandum Circular No. VDM-2024-2722’ is hereby extended until further notice,” the November 27 memorandum circular read.
Assec Mendoza earlier said that the deferment of the implementation of the two policies was in response to the request of motor vehicle owners and other stakeholders. #
