LTO to deliver 5,000 driver’s license cards before SONA
MANILA, Philippines — At least 5,000 driver’s license cards will be produced before the second State of the Nation Address of President Marcos, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) announced yesterday.
LTO officer-in-charge Assistant Secretary Hector Villacorta said the agency expects Banner Plasticard Inc. to produce up to 30,000 driver’s license cards daily within 10 days as part of its commitment to deliver one million cards in the next 60 days.
Villacorta said the first batch of license cards would be distributed to overseas Filipino workers and new driver’s license applicants.
“Actually, the priority are the OFWs and student driver’s permit that mature into non-pro or professional license,” he said.
Villacorta said driver’s license holders may access the electronic copies of their cards through the Land Transportation Management System portal.
The electronic driver’s license would be accepted during apprehension by traffic enforcers, he said.
In a related development, the Commission on Audit had earlier reported that 1.797 million pairs of license plates already paid for by registered car owners for P808.702 million remain undelivered since 2015
