LTO distributes temporary
cardboard drivers' licenses
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW
The Land Transportation Office is currently using temporary drivers' licenses made of cardboards, instead of the plastic cards issued to those applying for new or renewed ones beginning this week, following the entry of a new contractor.
For many years, the LTO's license card printing was contracted to the Amalgamated Motors Philippines Inc. until a new contractor won the bidding recently, Alberta Janine Lawas, chief of the LTO-Bayawan extension office in Bayawan City, Negros Oriental, said.
The All Cards Philippines contractor is set to distribute an initial batch of driver's license card printing machines this month, she added. .
