Prohibition of Oath of Undertaking for Emission Compliance

For-hire vehicles, including motorcycles and tricycles, are no longer allowed to submit an Oath of Undertaking in LTO field offices that have authorized PETCs.
If an Oath of Undertaking is accepted in registration processing where no PETCs are available, the agency head must ensure compliance within a 90-day period.

Enforcement and Sanctions

Failure by a motor vehicle owner to comply with the undertaking results in the vehicle being placed on "alarm," which likely restricts its registration or operation.
LTO employees or officials who violate the provisions of this circular face administrative sanctions.

Supersession of Previous Orders

All previous LTO orders or memoranda that conflict with this circular are considered amended or superseded.

Directive for Information Dissemination

LTO officials and personnel are mandated to extensively disseminate information regarding this policy amendment for strict compliance.

Administrative Adoption

The circular was adopted on March 10, 2005, signed by the Assistant Secretary Anneli R. Lontoc.
