The senator, in a statement, said this is one of the several policies of the LTO that have been “creating lucrative downstream industry as a result of their privatized implementation”.
Recto pointed out that Republic Act No. 10930, the law extending the validity of driver’s license to five years and strengthening the rules on the issuance of the licenses, does not call for such requirement.
The same law was cited by the LTO in the memorandum circular it issued in December, 2019, to make the driving school certificate mandatory for the issuance of driver’s licenses.
