CEBU CITY, Philippines — Central Visayas is the only region outside the National Capital Region (NCR) that has the most number of LTO offices.
This was according to the Land Transportation Office (LTO) Assistant Secretary Vigor Mendoza II during the inauguration of the extension of office in the City of Naga on Thursday, June 20.
“Sana gumawa pa tayo ng maraming ganito. Alam niyo, ang Region 7 ang kaisa-isang region na nag papalawak ng kanyang reach, hindi lang siya nasa regional, hindi lang po siya nasa Cebu City. Siya po ang may pinakamaraming opisinang binubuksan kumpara sa ibang region sa buong bansa. For that I am very proud of our regional director and assistant regional director,” Mendoza said.
“Isipin niyo kung walang Naga office, ang mga tao dito, pupunta pang Talisay at ilang oras [pa] ang byahe para lang mag renew ng sasakyan, para mag renew ng lisensya o kumuha ng lisensya,” Mendoza added.
