QuestionsQuestions (PRESIDENTIAL DECREE NO. 1057)
PD No. 1057 amends Republic Act No. 4136 (the Land Transportation and Traffic Code). The amendment concerns the classification of government-owned motor vehicles for registration purposes.
They are: (m) Government—automobiles; (n) government trucks; and (o) government motorcycles.
They shall be registered under the “Government” classification.
They shall also be registered under the “Government” classification, although under their respective charters they may pay registration fees.
No. The decree states that GOCCs may under their respective charters pay registration fees, even while being registered under the Government classification.
It determines the classification under which the vehicle must be registered, and in the case of GOCCs, it coexists with the possibility of paying registration fees under their charters.
No for classification: all are registered under the Government classification. The only stated distinction is that GOCCs may still pay registration fees under their charters.
PD No. 1057 specifically amends Section 7’s classification (m), (n), and (o), thereby modifying how certain vehicles are categorized for registration under the Land Transportation and Traffic Code.
Section 7, classification (m), (n), and (o) of RA 4136.
