CALAMBA CITY, Laguna – The Land Transportation Office (LTO) in Calabarzon achieved substantial revenue growth in July, with total earnings reaching P433.57 million.
This figure surpassed the agency's targets across various revenue streams, including apprehensions, motor vehicle registrations, and license fees.
Clarisa Sulit, chief of operations for LTO-Calabarzon, attributed the revenue increase to intensified law enforcement efforts throughout the region.
In a phone interview on Wednesday, Sulit highlighted that these efforts are part of the agency's ongoing commitment to enhancing road safety and order.
Revenue from apprehensions totaled P49.82 million, significantly exceeding the target of P18.37 million, which showed an increase of 171.25 percent.
Motor vehicle registration revenue reached P332.14 million, surpassing the target of P280.36 million by 18.467 percent.
Additionally, license revenue amounted to P51.61 million, exceeding the target of P35.77 million by 3.06 percent.
"LTO personnel are now required to report to the field as early as 6 a.m. and to their offices by 8 a.m. for administrative duties as part of a multi-tasking initiative," Sulit said.
"Field personnel are also assigned to two shifts, including a night shift, to address violations outside regular hours."
Furthermore, LTO-Calabarzon has intensified inspections of buses, jeepneys, and other public utility vehicles to ensure compliance with safety standards.
Sulit urged the public to adhere to traffic laws and regulations including the "No Registration, No Travel" policy and the strict enforcement of the "No Plate, No Entry" rule on toll roads, which is set to begin on Sept. 1. (PNA)
