DOTC blamed for vehicles without registration stickers

OFFICIALS of the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), not the motorists, should be apprehended and made answerable for vehicles without the proper registration stickers. It was DOTC that delayed the release of car stickers and license plates, a lawmaker said on Friday.

Senate president pro-tempore Ralph Recto said that instead of apprehending motorists that don’t have car stickers, the DOTC should advise the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority and other deputized traffic enforcers to impose a moratorium on the car sticker and license plates policy.
