LTO Car Registration Schedule, Fees, Charges and Tips

For those looking for car registration schedule in the philippines, these information i offered to you particularly if it's the first time you're going to register one at the LTO (whether LTO Head Office, LTO Makati, LTO Quezon City or any LTO office)
UPDATED January 2016
Vehicle registration schedules in the Philippines depends on the last two digits of the vehicle plate numbers.

the last digit identifies the month i.e.
1 January
2 February
3 March
4 April
5 May
6 June
7 July
8 August
9 September
0 October

the second to the last digit points to the week where you need to have it renewed at the Land Transportation Office:

1, 2, 3: first week of the month
4, 5, 6: second week week of the month
7, 8: third week week of the month
9, 0: fourth week week of the month

For example, if your plate number is ABC123, take the last two digits of your plate number to know you vehicle registration schedule. In this case, you need to renew your vehicle register in the first week of March (3 is for march, 2 is for the first week)

Late registrations fees apply even for just a day of delay and depends on the length of delay e.g. PhP200.00 for a week, PhP1000.00 after a month

Car registration requirements:

Xerox copy of OR and CR would be enough. And TPL insurance, you can get it from offices near or inside the LTO office itself, or you can bring your own. 400-600 usually. Plus emission test results from an accredited testing center. There should be one nearby. 300 bucks. And the right amount of money for the reg fee for your vehicle. Tip for the stencil boy too.

LTO Vehicle Registration Fees/Charges:

Registration fee depends on the year model of vehicle
Computer fee: PhP132.00
Third Party Liability:
Emission test

If you intend to register your vehicle at another LTO branch where it's not registered before, there's a charge of PhP100.00

Note: There are LTO renewal services being offered by some individuals that require no appearance of your car at the LTO but I have no direct experience with them so I can't qualify them as fixers or scams so beware.

The Land Transportation Office is located on East Avenue in Quezon City. To get to LTO from Makati, it's just a straight drive on EDSA going to Quezon City and turn right on East Avenue after passing Cubao. For commuters, the nearest MRT station is GMA-kamuning while Fairview-bound buses pass by the area.

Post-dated Checks Jewelry Scam of Jose Manalo of Eat Bulaga

I saw this on the news and various blogs but sadly with most blogs, based on hearsays and not really journalistic reporting. The NBI already stepped in on the case to investigate the allegations that the wife of Eat Bulaga host Jose Manalo ran away with millions of jewelries without paying for them

Some of the jewelers include Violy Alipio, Roel Lumbang, Purificacion D. Naive, Annie Dizon, Naneth Ugaddan, Susan Escosma, Aida Latuc, Trinidad Romeo Egya and Elenita Pabalate who all claim Jose Manalo's wife Annalyn bought jewelries from them and issued post-dated checks as payment which later bounced.

I don't know about the businessmen but it's not really prudent to accept post-dated checks as payment, bad for cash flow, but apparently because she's the wife of a famous TV personality that's why they agreed.

Anyway, Jose, whose real name is Ariel Pagtalonia Manalo, was involved in the alleged jewelry scam since he's the signatory of the bounced checks.

This case is already filed in court that's why you can't read latest news report on this. Just let the justice take its course.
