The country’s most luxurious cars — including two smuggled Bugatti Chirons — were registered not through the government’s new digital platform, but through an obsolete Land Transportation Office (LTO) system that should have been decommissioned two years ago, investigators have confirmed.
Sen. Grace Poe said the LTO is still plagued with the same old problems -- slow if not unserviceable portal, long lines during application or renewal of licenses or registration, backlogs in license plates and recently, close to 700,000 shortage in requirements as basic as plastic license cards.
