Question & AnswerQ&A (LTFRB MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 2006-009)
The purpose of LTFRB Memorandum Circular No. 2006-009 is to modify the prior MC 2002-003 by introducing a new system for the yearly issuance of the Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC) and sticker for public utility vehicles, to effectively monitor registered units authorized for for-hire service.
LTFRB Memorandum Circular No. 2006-009 took effect immediately upon its adoption on February 1, 2006.
LTFRB introduced a Reverse Adhesive Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC) Sticker that incorporates the type of denomination authorized and the signatures of the Chairperson and Board Members, with five blank spaces representing yearly registration in the five-year span of the CPC.
The new CPC sticker costs P350.00 while each reverse adhesive hologram to be posted annually on the sticker costs P25.00.
Authorized personnel of the LTFRB are responsible for posting the Reverse Adhesive CPC stickers upon presentation of the units during confirmation.
It supersedes all prior issuances inconsistent with the provisions of MC 2006-009.
MC 2002-003 aimed to effectively monitor which public utility vehicles given authority to operate as for-hire service were duly registered with the Land Transportation Office.
The five blank spaces correspond to each year of registration within the five-year validity of the CPC, where reverse adhesive holograms are posted annually to indicate continuous registration.
The Circular was signed by Ma. Elena H. Bautista (Chairperson), Gerardo A. Pinili and Ma. Ellen Dirige-Cabatu (Board Members).
