00:00A plaque for motorcycles and the removal of RFID was decided by the Bicameral Conference Committee of the Senate.
00:07Daniel Manalas Taza reports.
00:12Just one plaque for motorcycles.
00:15This was the agreement of the Bicameral Conference Committee up to the amendment of the Double Plaque Law.
00:21After the agreement, there is no RFID anymore.
00:23There are no more plaques in front, only in the back.
00:25We have about 9 million back down.
00:30It's better if everyone has a plaque than if two are not given.
00:35Senator J.V. Ejercito said that the LTO had a problem with RFID and the plate number is enough.
00:41LTO themselves said that there is a problem with RFID and at the same time,
00:50they said that the plate number alone is enough for the enforcers to verify the veracity and identification.
01:02The backlog of the plaque was stopped.
01:04The initial commitment was June 2025.
01:07The more realistic commitment on the part of the LTO is June 2026.
01:13In the hearing of the Senate Committee on Public Services, Senator Grace Poe has an objection to the creation of an advertisement.
01:20This is against Habal-Habal.
01:22You can make a commercial that the people who were accidented, literally,
01:27when this happened to you, your loved ones lost their lives,
01:33you don't have insurance if your conversation is private and there is no accredited TNBS included.
01:41On the part of LTFRB, we will help through DOTR.
01:45We can create that kind of infomercial and then our players will help us disseminate it through our Facebook.
01:54In the hearing of the committee, the issue of discounts in TNBS,
01:58Senator Raffy Tulfo asked why we should not allow this in TNCs.
02:03Yes, Mr. Chair.
02:05We're now drafting a memorandum circular which will be implemented this February
02:12wherein all of the discounts will now be shouldered by the operator and by the owner of the app.
02:21They will know that it's discounted if I tell them where to go.
02:27For example, if I tell them school, you're a student.
02:29It will be hard to get a booking.
