Enforcers of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) apprehended over 6,000 motor vehicles in the first 15 days of June amid the continuous implementation of the “No Registration, No Travel” policy.
LTO chief, Assistant Secretary Vigor D. Mendoza II said the most of the drivers of the vehicles were issued with violation tickets while a total of 981 were impounded, adding that most of those apprehended were motorcycles.
For the four-wheel vehicles, 34 of them are passenger jeepneys while seven are passenger buses.
Mendoza said the continuous operation should serve as a constant reminder to delinquent motor vehicle owners of their obligation to renew the registration of their vehicles.
“The renewal of the registration is not only an obligation to the government, it is also an obligation to yourself and your family because doing so would compel you to ensure the road worthiness of your motor vehicles, for your safety, for the safety of your love ones,” said Mendoza.
He then called on delinquent motor vehicle owners to have their vehicles registered in the soonest possible time.
“Our operation will continue to be aggressive so we call on motor vehicle owners to comply with their obligation to register their motor vehicles,” said Mendoza.
