The Land Transportation Office (LTO) on Wednesday, Nov. 29, said it is eyeing a registration caravan to encourage delinquent owners to register their motor vehicles following the strict implementation of the “no registration, no travel” policy.

LTO chief Vigor Mendoza said the caravan would be directed nationwide in coordination with respective local government units (LGUs), particularly at the barangay level.

“Sa level ng barangay ay madali ng malalaman ng ating mga opisyales ng barangay kung sino-sino at ilan sa kanilang mga constituents ang hindi rehistrado ang mga motorsiklo at mga sasakyan. Kaya tayo po ay hihingi ng tulong sa kanila tungkol dito,” Mendoza said.

“Sa pagsasagawa ng motor vehicle registration caravan, ipinapakita namin sa LTO na hindi lang kami puro enforcement. We will be going to bring the services of the LTO closer to our clients,” he added, noting that delinquent owners stand to face getting their motor vehicles impounded.

The LTO chief stated that the caravan will simplify the registration process, especially for LTO clients with difficulty using online platforms.

“Extra effort ito sa aming sa LTO pero lahat ng magiging pagod ay worth it naman dahil ang pinag-uusapan dito ay ang pagtitiyak ng road worthiness ng mga sasakyan na siyang mandato ng inyong LTO,” he said.

Nearly 24.7 million motor vehicles were unregistered while Metro Manila, Central Luzon, and Calabarzon regions ranked with the most number of delinquent owners, according to the LTO’s data.
