LTO chief Jose Arturo Tugade said at a press briefing that under the new omnibus guidelines, the driving school fees would be reduced by over 50 percent, adding that they had received reports that some schools were charging as much as P20,000.
“[Let] this be a warning that we will impose the sanctions provided in the omnibus guidelines if you will not abide by the policy,” Tugade added.First-time violators face a fine of P50,000 and suspension for six months while those caught a second time will be fined P100,000 and suspended for a year. On the third offense, the driving school’s accreditation will be revoked, Tugade said.
Driving schools were likewise ordered to enter the details of all driving license applicants in the Land Transportation Management System, particularly the dates they take the TDC following issues over the nonappearance of some who still ended up with a certificate. Tugade said they considered certain economic factors, assumptions on how many students would be enrolling in the driving schools and the schools’ operating expenses.
