By  Maritess B. Beñas

BANGUED, Abra -- Vehicle owners in  the province may soon get stickers and plate numbers from the Land Transportation Office after months of waiting.

Eusebio R. Bidalen, chief of  LTO-Abra, said the LTO-central office released 1,000 sets of stickers and plate numbers  for Abra vehicles. 

However, plate numbers  are  still with the LTO-regional office in Baguio City.

Bidalen advised vehicle owners who registered their motor vehicles to pick up plate numbers  at  the LTO regional office.

With this development, vehicle owners  will be  relieved  from  being apprehended for violation of the ‘No plate, no travel’  policy   of the LTO.

Meanwhile,  Bidalen said  it would be nice to see their clients in appropriate attire when going to their office for official transaction especially when applying for a driver’s license because they are required to have a shot of their photo for their identification.

While they are not imposing too much on the dress code, he encouraged the people to come to their office in appropriate attire.

Bidalen said the first come, first serve policy of the LTO  office as  he  assured the public that no fixers allowed in official transactions with the LTO. 

This is l in line with the Civil Service policy on  no fixers  allowed in government offices as provided for  in  Republic  Act  9485 otherwise known as the Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007.
