MANILA PHILIPPINES – The Land Transportation Office (LTO) on Friday said more than ,000 motor vehicles were apprehended nationwide in the first 15 days of June continuing the aggressive implementation of the “No Registration, No Travel” policy.
LTO Chief, Assistant Secretary Vigor Mendoza II said the continuous operation should serve
as a constant reminder to 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 Assec Mendoza.

“Huwag sana tayong magsisi na naman sa huli kung ano dapat ang ginawa. Mataaas ang penalty at may
kasama pang impound. Pero ang mas matindi dito at kung ang pagsasawalang-bahala natin ay mauwi sa aksidente,” he added.
The aggressive campaign against unregistered motor vehicles is part of the road safety instruction of Department of Transportation (DOTr) as the renewal of motor vehicles requires a check on their condition.
Based on the LTO data, a total of 6,064 motor vehicles were apparended from June 1-15 this year— 5,127 of them are motorcycles while the rest are four-wheel vehicles.
A total of 5,470 of them were issued with violation tickets while 981 were impounded.
For the four-wheel vehicles, 34 of them are passenger jeepneys while seven are passenger buses.
“Patuloy nating ipapatupad ng mahigpit ang patakaran ito. Huwag na nating hintayin na magka-aberya pa bago gawin ang tama na pagpapa-rehistro ng inyong sasakyan,” said Assec Mendoza.
