00:00The LTO will start implementing the no-plate, no-travel policy on tricycles in Quezon City on July 1.

00:07This was decided by a few tricycle drivers.

00:11The center of the news is from Bien Manalo.

00:16Felix Perdo has been a tricycle driver for more than three decades on Viajeng Visayas Avenue.

00:22This is his daily routine that his family needs.

00:28And because he only earns enough for his daily commute,

00:33it's heavy for Felix to implement the no-plate, no-travel policy of the local government of Quezon City.

00:41For me, the policy is a bit heavy.

00:46It gives a bit of favor to those who have a tricycle.

00:51Most of them don't have a license, don't have a license plate.

00:57It gives favor to those who deserve it.

01:00Ruben Alcala, a 20-year-old tricycle driver, doesn't agree with the policy.

01:07He says it will have a big impact on his life.

01:11I don't agree with the policy because you don't have a license.

01:15They will arrest you if they see that you don't have a license.

01:19It has a big impact on our lives.

01:22If you don't have a license, you will be arrested.

01:25This is what they need so that people can live.

01:28On July 1, the Land Transportation Office, or LTO,

01:34and the local government of Quezon City will implement the no-plate, no-travel policy for tricycles in the city.

01:41According to the LTO, the strict implementation of the policy is in accordance with the agency's recommendation

01:48on more than 3,000 backlogs of license plates to tricycle drivers in Quezon City last month,

01:54which was given in the ceremonial distribution of the plate to the Tricycle Operators and Drivers Association, or TODAS.

02:02This is also based on the order of Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista

02:07in accordance with the urgent release of all license plates to motorists as soon as possible.

02:13The no-plate, no-travel policy in Quezon City will serve as a pilot run of the more strict regulations

02:20up to the Road Safety and Anti-Coronavirus Regulations.

02:23The LTO plans to expand the implementation of the policy to the entire country,

02:28especially to four-wheel vehicles.

02:31Meanwhile, the LTO is appealing to car dealers

02:35to distribute license plates to their customers as soon as possible.

02:40The LTO is also in accordance with the Department of Transportation

02:44in accordance with the nationwide implementation of the no-plate, no-travel policy.
