THE LAND Transportation Office in the Cordillera Administrative Region (LTO-CAR) is implementing online transaction to address corruption, including the issue of “fixers” and possible collusion with office personnel.
Francis Rae Almora, regional director of LTO-CAR, on Wednesday said the online transaction the LTO is doing nationwide "removes the possible participation of middlemen offering services for processing of document”.
Vehicle registration, driver’s license application or renewal, and settling a traffic rule violation are now done online, according to a hand-out provided by LTO.
Almora said it is the government’s initiative to provide the public ease in transacting with LTO without physically queueing in long lines at its offices. He said the only time a client needs to visit the office is when the agency needs to get their biometrics.
“There is no way a fixer can process a transaction for another person considering that the account of the person is specific and can only be used by the client,” he said.
The director said the online account of an LTO client requires an email address, which will receive a reminder from the agency to renew a license or a vehicle registration when due.
For those applying or renewing a driver’s license, the officer said the requirements will be uploaded and there is no way any person can fake a document because the provider will furnish the link and code of the transaction, which assures the authenticity of the document, he said. ( Liza Agoot)
