What's new with the "new" LTO Driver's License card ( + photos)
THE Land Transportation Office (LTO) revealed the design of the new driver’s license cards set to be released this August.

LTO chief Alfonso Tan Jr. said there are a few changes but "...it’s essentially the same."

In a news article from The Star, Tan said they retained “almost everything” on the new driver’s license cards, and just added the words ”driver’s license,” amid complaints from Filipinos abroad that their licenses are not honored overseas.

Resolution has been enhanced and the cards will be printed in 600dpi. The fonts of name of the driver and his/her address will be enlarged for better readability. The "Philippines" and "millennium" tags printed at the top and bottom of the flag are removed while "height," "weight," and "agency" are spelled out.


Design of the new LTO driver’s license cards


Though sporting a new look, the non-professional and professional driver’s license cards will still be colored blue.

The student’s permit, which used to be made of paper has been changed to plastic cards and will be colored orange. The fee will still be P150 for the student's permit.

The conductor's permit, meanwhile, will be colored yellow.

The Allcard Plastics Philippines Inc. is the new supplier of driver’s license cards.

Long days, simple priorities: Why the REDMI 17 Series makes sense for Filipinos

For Filipinos, smartphones have become indispensable to help us juggle work, school, errands, entertainment, and everything in between. But with long commutes and screen time stretching well into the night, keeping a phone charged can feel like a constant worry. Because we use our mobile phones as an alarm clock to start the day, a navigation tool during the commute, a mobile office or classroom, an entertainment and a communication hub, and a camera for life’s spontaneous moments, the last thing anyone needs is a phone that runs out of power before you’re safely home. It’s this everyday challenge that Xiaomi addresses with the REDMI 17 Series, launching in the Philippines today, October 19. Equipped with a massive 7,500mAh battery, fast charging, and a spacious display, the new lineup is designed to keep up with the demands of Filipino life without putting too much strain on the budget.

What the LTO says about changing mag wheels, rims and tires of your car, motorcycle

The new LTO PMVIC, or the Land Transportation Office - Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers, has started operations in some parts of the country for inspections of cars and motorcycles due for registration renewal. Dubbed as MVIS (Motor Vehicle Inspection System), it aims to test the roadworthiness of private and commercial vehicles prior to their registration. This also includes the checking of modifications, upgrades and accessories that have been installed on your vehicles - whether factory or aftermarket. If they don't meet LTO standards, you fail the test. Failing the MVIS test means you have to retake the inspection and worse, you can't register your vehicle any more. For purposes of discussion, I chose to talk about wheels and tires because they are the most frequently modified parts of our cars and motorcycles. Now comes the question: Is it considered illegal to replace your wheels with aftermarket mag wheels? Can those u...

What not to do if you really want that LTO 10-year driver's license validity

Sometimes knowing what not to do, is just as important as knowing what to do. If you plan to get your driver's license in 2023, you're probably looking forward to getting that awesome 10 years validity. The question is - are you qualified? According to Republic Act 10930, the 10-year driver's license can be given to drivers with no "demerit points" on their driving record or who have not committed any violation of the Land Transportation and Traffic Code. All applicants with traffic violation records will only get the 5-year validity of Driver’s License. What is the LTO demerit system? The "demerit system" helps the Land Transportation Office (LTO) keep an eye on all drivers’ records. It will also determine who among who is righteous enough to get hold of the much-sought-after 10-year license validity. The number of demerit points depends on the violation. Grave Violations are worth 5 demerit points each, L...
