It is an amendment to MC No. 91-132 regarding the implementation of the new district office codes for registration transactions.
Misamis Occidental, Oroquieta City, Tangub City, Ozamiz City, South Cotobato, General Santos City, Lanao del Norte, Iligan City, and Marawi City.
Because of the Supreme Court's TRO preventing the transfer of certain province and city jurisdictions, the codes for district offices implementing registration transactions had to be adjusted accordingly.
Assistant Secretary Manuel N. Sabalza signed and adopted it on June 13, 1991.
The LTO can change the district office codes as mandated by the Department of Transportation and Communications, but must comply with orders of higher courts such as the Supreme Court.
The TRO temporarily prohibits actions (like transferring regional jurisdiction) pending further orders, thereby affecting the implementation of policies or circulars that contradict the order.
They must implement the district office codes as amended and avoid transferring jurisdictions as restrained by the court's TRO.
