“Iwasan na natin yung transaksyon kung saan dadagsa yung tao and magkakaroon tayo ng problema sa pag-implement ng sinasabing social distancing. Medyo nagreduce din kami ng tao dun sa pinaka-windows namin. Kung above 59 (years old), work from home na. Ang mine-maintain namin a little more than 50 percent,” LTO chief Edgar Galvante said Tuesday.
“Kung magwo-walk in ka, ang dami mo pang dadaanan eh. Pag nag-online ka, na-set na yung appointment mo, at nakapagbayad ka na online. Pagpunta mo sa LTO, magba-biometrics ka lang, picture, then release na yung iyong lisensya. So na-shorten mo yung process,” LTO management information division chief Rector Antiga added.
The LTO also clarifies that they’re still accepting walk-in applicants.
