Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista tells Rappler that they will launch a website for claiming the 1.797 million replacement plates stuck in regional offices.
Earlier, the Commission on Audit said that the LTO still had a backlog of 1,797,115 plates for motor vehicles. This referred to the replacement plates paid by owners upon the renewal of their four-wheeled motor vehicle registrations as far back as 2015. Only 764,514 plates were actually produced by LTO, according to the state auditor.
“We currently have 1.7 [million] pieces undistributed since 2016. These plates are actually a direct replacement for the green plates,” LTO spokesperson Alex Uy told Rappler in an interview on Wednesday, July 19. “The replacement plates are all in the regional offices.” In response, the LTO welcomed the delivery of 108,400 motor vehicle plates, the first shipment of the 16,040,640 plates procured by the Department of Transportation. The winning bidder, Trojan-Tonnjes Joint Venture, will deliver 60,000 plates to the LTO every week. Bautista also added that because of the “transparent bidding” process for the plates, the government saved about P1.2 billion.Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista holds up a newly delivered license plate on Tuesday, July 18.
