Editorial

The various achievements of LTO Region 1 highlighted in this Volume 3 Issue 1 of the Semi-Annual Journal is truly a testa-ment to the dedication and perseverance of management and the rank-and-file in fulfilling the mandate of the office for the clients and other stakeholders in the region. It showcases the initiatives of management in forging closer relationship with the local govern-ment units and other organizations that contribute to better service delivery. The „Best in Hat‟ with a Php10,000.00 cash prize was awarded to the LTO delegation that participated during the 17th City of San Fernando Founding Anniversary supporting the theme “Health and Wellness City” with an original concept of a green-colored car with green plant growing from the exhaust that symbol-izes the role of LTO under the Clean Air Act in protecting the envi-ronment through the operation of the Private Emission Testing Centers whose locations were indicated in the back page of this issue. The LTO bested all other government offices in communi-cating to the public the mandate of the office. Another first in LTO Region 1 is the signing of a memoran-dum of Partnership Agreement between the office and the Philip-pine Red Cross La Union Chapter that established a partnership in developing a sustainable and long term strategy in ensuring an ef-fective and successful implementation of program on disaster management, public health and safety, and blood program. The Philippine Red Cross commits to support the LTO programs on Road safety through the training of LTO personnel particularly the Law Enforcers as first respond and members of the Red Cross 143. The training will enhance the capability of the Law Enforcers of LTO Region 1 in responding to road accidents and other inci-dents that may happen while they are on the roads performing their duties and responsibilities.


LTO’s Road Safety advocacy unleashed the creativity

of its officials and personnel during the 17th City Foun-

dation Anniversary of San Fernando (La Union) on

March 20, 2015.

In line with the city’s objective “Center of Health and

Wellness in the Northern Philippines for 2020”, various

national government agencies and civic organizations

participated during the Best Hat-Yell Competition. It

challenged all offices to create a unique hat and yell

that reflects the agencies’ mandates as well as its ef-

fect on health and environment.

Sporting eco-themed hats depicting a green-colored

car with green smoke exhaust emphasizing the advo-

cacy on the Clean Air Act, the LTO delegation consist-

ing of 14 men and 21 women paraded through the

streets of San Fernando along with participants from

other government offices, civic organizations and mili-

tary.

The parade was capped with a dance and yell

presentation before the city officials wherein the LTO

delegates vibrantly delivered a clear message – ROAD

SAFETY is key to a healthy and wealthy city! This slogan-

yell is relevant to the Founding Anniversary theme of

the city and LTO’s vision towards achieving a cleaner

air through emission-compliant motor vehicles.

Hats-off to the LTO delegation which was awarded

“Best in Hat” and a Php10,000.00 cash prize during the

celebration.

The Clean Air Act is a national law aiming to protect

the environment. The DOTC thru LTO is tasked to estab-

lish procedures and inspect motor vehicles and the

testing of their emissions to determine the concentra-

tion and pollutants discharged by motor vehicles.

Good Governance

Urdaneta, Lingayen and Batac District Office of Land Transportation Office Region 1 (LTO R1) received recognition award from the Civil Service Commis-sion during the 115th Philippine Civil Service Anni-versary on September 17, 2015. These three (3) offices were rated Excellent during the conduct of Report Card Survey by the CSC in all government offices including 18 offices of LTO in the region for the first semester of 2014. Being rated Excellent, the three (3) offices are vying for the Seal of Excellence Award for 2014. Rating were based on the compliance on the Anti-Red Tape Act (ARTA) and provision of standard ser-vices such as Citizens Charter, Anti-Fixer Campaign, Employees’ Nameplates, Frontline Services, and Basic Facilities by the office. In 2012, Urdaneta District Office was awarded the “Seal of Excellence” with a Php 100,000.00 cash prize by the Civil Service Commission . Seal of Excellence is awarded to deserving govern-ment employees or agencies to recognize their ef-fort in eliminating corruption and promoting fair and excellent service to the transacting public.

Three LTO R1 offices rated Excellent on ARTA RCS Survey

This is mainly to combat red tape and render the highest quality of frontline services. The award aims to promote service delivery excellence in bureaucra-cy; to acknowledge the hard work of civil servants in providing responsive, efficient and customer-centric services; and to drive competitiveness among gov-ernment agencies. CSC recognizes top performing frontline service of-fice in the country for placing premium on quality customer service by strictly observing the provisions of the ARTA. (MRT)

Feature Story:

Some very famously places such as Vigan City have well-known ghostly residents who have extensive stories about why their spirits linger in a particular place-such a person who was wrong-fully tortured into death or deeply betrayed by a dear friend or loved one that resulted in death. Vigan is one such place. Its history is written in blood.

The ghost that is often sighted at Rizal Av-enue in Vigan was a victim of a mur-der and feel she cannot

move on until her attackers have been found and brought to justice. She returns to seek revenge, or remain to punish the living for crimes against her. The old folks of Vigan believe that these types of ghosts are trapped on earth because they do not yet realize that they are dead. Some ghosts seem to return to re-enact some crisis from their former lives-usually their death scene. Some ghosts that the folks see on the streets appear to be mere recordings on the environment in which they once existed. A Spanish friar in Vigan is seen on repeated occasions standing near the Bantay Bell Tower where he would often spend his time walking when he was still alive. A dead child’s laughter is heard echoing in a hallway where she often played in Ilocos Sur Na-tional High School. Such was a tale of a tricycle driver who had an encounter with a strange spirit.

The Lady along Rizal Avenue There was a street named Rizal Avenue. Not far is a well-known school and college for girls. Protacio Santos is one of the many tricycle drivers playing the streets of Vigan. He is fondly called by his friends Taciong. One rainy Thursday night he picked up a woman passenger at around 8:00 in the evening near the said school. She was young, pretty, wearing a black party dress and perfume. Upon entering the tri-cycle, the driver waited for the direction as he started driving. He

got direction and everything would have been just like any other night but he noticed something strange. The wom-an’s voice he heard seem not to have come from the pas-senger but from inside his ears. Weird, but then he doubted himself. Maybe he was wrong. Who else could have spoken? So he continued driving. It didn’t take long and the driver glanced at the mir-ror inside the sidecar just as any tricycle driver would espe-cially when the passenger is pretty. There was no image within view from the mirror. When the driver however looked inside the sidecar, the lady was there sitting. Taciong began to perspire heavily. He did not know what to do. When the tricycle was near the intersection of Liberation Boule-vard, a cold gust of wind blew on his face. He noticed that the woman was now seating at the backseat of his tricycle. Taciong looked at his rear view mirror. There she was looking straight at Taciong with blood shot eyes full of anger and hatred, with blood drips from the corner of her eyes. Her face was pale white. All of the sudden her hair was long and messed up. Usually when Taciong would see spirits he would just glance away and when he looks back, they would disappear and he would just go on with his chores. This night the image would not disappear. He closed his eyes thrice but then the image of the lady is still staring at him. Confused and frightened he closed his eyes and drove his tricycle as fast as he can. Taciong hit a tree and the tricycle turned upside down. Taciong regained his consciousness two days later. He lived to tell his story but with the passing of days he slowly lost his sani-ty. These days he would only mutter the name “Sidra” as he started at the wall. Taciong never regained his sanity. It was learned that during the Japanese occupation a lady named “Isidra” was abused and tortured by the Japanese soldiers along Rizal Avenue. Thereafter she was mercilessly killed. Thus on the full moon of October of every year she would appear on the site where she was killed to seek revenge for the fate she suffered. Many lives were lost and tragic accidents happened in that site and this is prevalent on the month of October.

Dagupan District Office initiated the repainting of walls and landscaping of office perimeter in order to provide clients with a good impression and ambiance while staying and waiting for their applications.

Manila, Philippines – The current shortage of

driver’s license cards at the Land Transporta-

tion Office (LTO) is set to be addressed, as the

Department of Transportation and Communi-

cations (DOTC) has awarded the project for

the supply of 5,000,000 pieces of driver’s li-

cense cards to Allcard Plastics Philippines, Inc.

Allcard Plastics bagged the project after sub-

mitting the lowest bid of P 336.868 Million. Un-

der the contract, Allcard Plastics will deliver

the license cards in equal monthly tranches

over a one-year period counted from the issu-

ance of the Notice to Proceed (NTP).

“We are pleased to report that license cards

will soon be available at all LTO offices. We

will strive to ensure that the implementation of

this project will run smoothly in order to rein-

state these basic services provided by the

LTO,” said DOTC Secretary Jun Abaya.

Allcard’s bid is 25.3% lower than the original

approved budget of the contract – which

was set at P 450-Million – thereby generating

government savings of around P 113 Million.

The cost of the card is roughly around P 67.37

per piece, well below the cap of P 90.09 per

piece.

Procurement of the LTO License Cards supply

project opened last May 22, wherein three (3)

bidders qualified: Allcard, current driver’s li-

cense card supplier Amalgamated Motors

Philippines, Inc. (AMPI), and the joint venture

of DVK Philippines Enterprises and Cardz Mid-

dle East Trading LLC.

The financial bids of AMPI and the DVK-Cardz

JV were P 373.880 Million and P 428.8 Million,

respectively.

The LTO may now coordinate with Allcard

Plastics for the efficient deployment of the li-

cense cards to the various LTO offices nation-

wide. (www.dotc.gov.ph)

By: Kathleen Deanna G. Salayog During the LTO 103rd Foundation Anniversary on April 28-30, 2015, bowling was included as one of the sports activities. It was the first for bowling ever since sports competition was added to the activities during founding anniversaries.

The bowling tournament was held on April 29, 2015 at the Puyat Bldg. Center, Eastwood, Quezon City. It was participated in by almost all LTO Regional Offices. It was

dubbed as “The First LTO Disco Bowling Tournament” be-cause dancing lights illuminated the lanes. Before the start of the competition, all players were even enjoined to dance to the blaring sounds of music. The venue was agog with activities from excitement, noise and laughter. The Team had this feeling of apprehension, especially so when even players from other regions brought with them their own bowling balls. That was prior to the games prop-er. After a very short opening program, attitudes changed. The players showed confidence. One could see and feel their purpose of being there: to participate, to play, to en-joy and to win the game. The elimination rounds were judged thru the total num-ber of pin falls. The top eight (8) teams that get the high-est total number of pin falls will join the semi-finals. Eventually LTO Region 1 made it to the finals with 3 other LTO Regional offices. At the finals, all scores were back to zero. Again whoever will earn to most number of pin falls will be declared the champion. From a very intense competition emerged the Champi-ons! LTO Region 1 Bowlers won the Gold! The other win-ners are the National Capital Region (Silver) and Region 12 (Bronze). Congratulations!

FREQUENTLYASKEDQUESTIONS


Tanong: Bakit po ang taas na ang multa ng mga nahuhuli? Sagot: Noong Hunyo 02, 2014, nabigyan ng otoridad ang LTO at LTFRB ng kapangyarihan para itaas ang multa ng mga nahuhuli sa pama-magitan ng implementasyon ng Join Administra-tive Order No. 2014-01. Tanong: Meron pong nadagdag na Php450.00 sa binayaran ko noong nag renew po ako ng rehistro ko. Ang sabi po, bayad po sa plate re-placement. Hindi naman po sira ang plaka ko, bakit papalitan? Sagot: Lahat na po ng mga irerehistro na sasa-kyan ay magpapalit na ng plaka. Ang bagong patakaran na ito ay base sa Memorandum Cir-cular No. VPT-2013-1772 na ipinapatupad noong 01 July 2013. Sa kasalukuyan, ang sinis-ingil pa lang ay para sa regular na sasakyan o yung tinatawag din na four wheels. Tanong: Noong nagkaroon ng plate standardi-zation, naging pito (7) na po ang characters ng mga plaka. Paano na po ang schedule ng regis-tration? Sagot: Katulad pa rin po ng dati na ang baseh-an ay ang dalawang (2) huling numero sa plaka, mapa regular o four wheels na sasakyan at motorsiklo o tricycle. Tanong: Nabalitaan ko po na papalitan na ang plaka ng mga sasakyan. Gusto ko po yung plate number ko ngayon. Pwede po bang hindi na lang papalitan ang plaka ko? Sagot: Pwede po. Papalitan ang plaka niyo pero ang plate number niyo ay yun pa rin. At karagdagan pa nito, pwede ninyong itago ito dahil may sentimental na halaga ito. Subalit bawal na itong gamitin sa ibang sasakyan. Pwede mo ring ibalik sa LTO para tuluyan ng i-dispose ito.

Question: Why is the plate standardization imple-mented? Answer: The Motor Vehicle License Plate Standardi-zation Program has several issues to answer:

There exists nine (9) different designs of the li-cense plates;

1. There is proliferation of dilapidated and illegal plates;

2. There is a prevalent practice of motor vehicles

owners to use improvised plates when these are lost; and

3. There is difficulty in promptly identifying coun-

terfeit license plates.

These issues have adversely affected law enforce-ment and national security. Thus, the MVLPSP was thought of.
