The LTO also intensified its enforcement activities.
“There’s a lot to be happy with in terms of where we are as an agency in a span of one year,” Caindec said. “But there remains to be challenges. We still continue to have the issue of having fixers.”
He also said that processing of student permits, driver’s license and vehicle registration would be faster when the new LTO information technology (IT) system would be in place./dbs
