MANILA, Philippines — Las Piñas Rep. Camille Villar has filed a bill seeking an extension of the validity of the original and renewed registration of motor vehicles.
Under the proposed measure, the validity of the certificates of registration for brand new motor vehicles shall be increased from the current three years to five years; for brand new motorcycles, to three years from the current one year.
In House Bill 10696, Villar said there is a need to amend the Land Transportation and Traffic Code. The measure shall be known as the Extended Motor Vehicle Registration Act of 2024, once approved and enacted.
For the renewal of registration, the bill proposes a three-year validity period for motor vehicles aged five to seven years; two years for eight to nine years and one year for 10 years and older.
The renewal of registration for motorcycles aged three to seven years would be two years; for eight years and above, one year.
“This representation recognizes the predicament of motor vehicle owners who troop to the Land Transportation Office renewal centers every year to renew their motor vehicle registrations,” the bill’s explanatory note reads.
It further stated that this “annual occurrence entails the use of precious time and resources, both financial and non-financial, by millions of motor vehicle owners.”
