The Land Transportation Office (LTO) denied online claims of a nearly 100% increase in motor vehicle registration fees, calling the reports “fake news.”
The agency clarified that its fees remain regulated under government-approved laws and guidelines, with no sudden or unannounced hikes.
The LTO emphasized that it continues to make its services affordable amid the current economic challenges.
It urged the public to verify information through official sources, including the LTO website, social media pages, or authorized offices.
Motorists were reminded to avoid sharing unverified reports to prevent misinformation.
