QUEZON CITY — The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has extended the validity of the registration of motor vehicles and driver’s license that expired on Sept. 30.
LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Atty. Vigor D. Mendoza II said that he already issued a memorandum to all the agency’s Regional Directors and District Office heads in relation to the extension.
Based on the memorandum, the validity will be extended up to Oct. 15.
Asec. Mendoza assured that there will be no penalties that will be charged to the motor vehicle owners and driver’s license holders.
“This is in consideration of the cancellations of government work caused by heavy rains brought by the Southwest Monsoon and Typhoons Nando, Opong, and Paulo and the devastating earthquake that struck Cebu,” Mendoza said.
“A lot of our kababayan were affected and this was the LTO’s way of providing assistance to the affected clients in line with President Marcos’ directive,” he added.
Mendoza said that the 15-day period for the settlement of Traffic Apprehension Cases effective Sept. 26 will likewise be extended until Oct. 15. ###
