Quality
Improvement
Program
Pursuant to
pertinent
provisions of
R.A. 8749
otherwise known
as the
Philippine Clean
Air Act of 1999,
the LTO shall
enforce
compliance with
the emission

other deputized
agents from DOTC,
MMDA, ABS-CBN
Bantay Kalikasan
and local
government units
personnel in
strategic points
in Metro Manila
as well as in
other regions
nationwide.
Motor Vehicle
Inspection
System (MVIS)
Project
The project
involves the
construction of
Motor Vehicle
Inspection
Centers to cover
all types and
classifications
of motor
vehicles all
over the
country. The
centers shall be
situated in
areas with high
motor vehicle
density such as
the NCR, Metro
Davao and Metro
Cebu and in
urban centers
with satellite
city/townships
as clusters. The
project shall be
equipped with
state-of the art
equipment and
shall be fully
computerized.
-
Activities

• Upgrading
and
rehabilitation
of the 4
existing
MVIC
(NCR-North

construction
of new MVIC
at Regions
IV and XI.
•
Implementation
of Phase 2
to include
Regions 1,

PETC Program
Compliance to
emission
standards of all

Centers (PETCs).
Renewal of
vehicle
registration as
well of
retrieval of
confiscated
license plates
due to smoke
belching charges
necessitate the
presentation of
a Certificate of
Emission

makes possible
the real time
monitoring of
PETC results and
its integration
with the MVRS.
CFC Phase Out
Plan
The Office is
one of the key
partners of DENR
