LTO pinatikim ng sermon ni AGRI PL Rep. Lee sa temporary license!!

Bigyan natin ng espasyo sa ating Usapang HAUZ ang ginawang pagsermon ba ang tawag duon o pwede ring pinaalalahanan ng energetic AGRI Party List Representative Wilbert Lee ang Pamunuan ng Land Transportation Office dahil sa gagawin umanong pagaaksaya ng pera.

Eh biruin nyo naman na balak ng LTO na magpa-print pa ng temporary driver’s license na papel din naman samantalang uubra namang official receipt (OR) ang bitbit ng mga nagmamanehong driver, sa tingin nyo po Asec. Tugade korek ba si Cong?

Kaya mga Ka Usapang HAUZ ito po ang walang labis at walang kulang na pahayag ni AGRI PL Rep. Lee hinggil sa balak na paggastos ng LTO.

“Huwag nang magsayang ng pera.”

This is what AGRI Party-list Rep. Wilbert T. Lee urged the Land Transportation Office amid reports of a shortage of drivers’ plastic license cards.

“The official receipt should be enough. Huwag na natin dagdagan ang gastos at mag-print pa ng temporary driver’s license na naka-print sa papel lang,” Lee said.

The LTO this week confirmed the shortage, which they said was the result of a department order they received in January, stating that all procurements involving P50 million and above should be conducted by the Department of Transportation central office.

The agency also said that its inventory of plastic card licenses is forecast to completely run out by the last week of this month.

The LTO also announced that it will be extending the validity of licenses that are expiring soon, after it faced backlash over the weekend over news of the shortage.

Lee underscored the need for government agencies not to waste resources.

“Hindi unli ang pera ng pamahalaan. Temporary licenses are a wasteful and unnecessary response to the problem. Masasayang lang ang milyun-milyong papel, ink, kuryente at effort sa pag-print ng mga ito,” the lawmaker said.

“This is a call not only for the LTO, but for all card-issuing agencies as well. Kung kaya naman nang patunayan ng official receipt, huwag na tayo gumawa ng temporary card.”

“Mas maigi pa na kumilos tayo agad para mapunan ang pangangailangan. Winner Tayo Lahat kung makakatipid ang pamahalaan at makakaiwas sa ‘di mahalagang gastos, dahil magagamit ang pondo sa mas makabuluhang bagay na para sa kapakanan ng mamamayan,” said Lee.

The shortage in plastic license cards is expected to affect around 5.2 million motorists.

Lee also renewed his call to allocate a greater budget to the LTO so that it could address its license plate backlog.

During the deliberation for the 2023 budget, Lee urged Congress to grant the P6.8 billion the agency requested to produce license plates.

“Dahil ang problema natin sa plate numbers ay since 2014 pa, I also move na maibigay nang buo ang 6.8 billion na budget para matapos na ng LTO ang backlog sa plate numbers,” ani Lee.

Tuloy lang ang puna o sermon Rep. Lee basta kapakanan ng taong bayan ang mahalaga lalong lalo na sa ating mga kapatid na tsuper kung kaya’t Saludo ang Usapang HAUZ sa inyong mga adhikain Mabuhay!
