President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has approved the creation and enhancement of 20 Land Transportation Office (LTO) offices across the Philippines, aiming to streamline motor vehicle-related transactions. LTO Chief, Assistant Secretary Vigor D. Mendoza II, made the announcement during the inauguration of the new LTO-Binalonan District Office in Pangasinan.

 

Mendoza expressed gratitude to Pangasinan's local officials for their efforts in securing a prime location, donating the land, and constructing the new building, which replaces the former Urdaneta City office. He commended the Binalonan office as one of the finest district offices due to its timely construction, which will support forthcoming tasks, including license plate distribution.

 

The President’s approval includes 20 legislative measures to expand and enhance LTO operations, with new district offices planned for Pototan, Iloilo; San Dionisio, Iloilo; Padre Garcia, Batangas; Nabua, Camarines Sur; and Kalamansig, Sultan Kudarat. Meanwhile, existing extension and satellite offices in locations such as Catanauan, Quezon; San Pascual, Batangas; and others, will be upgraded to district offices.

 

 

 

Furthermore, the LTO District Office in Naga City will be elevated to a Class A District Office, while the office in Agoo, La Union will be upgraded from Class C to Class B. Additional upgrades are planned for district offices in Lamut, Ifugao; Alaminos, Pangasinan; and Mati, Davao Oriental.

 

Mendoza highlighted that establishing new district offices will significantly benefit LTO clients by reducing the time, effort, and costs associated with their transactions. The improvements promise to accommodate more clients and expedite services, reflecting the Marcos administration's commitment to efficient public service delivery.
