MANILA, Philippines — The Land Transportation Office (LTO) on Saturday said it will work with various transport groups and stakeholders to increase motor vehicle insurance.
Vigor Mendoza II, LTO chief, promised insurance companies last week that he would act on unauthorized sellers of compulsory third-party liability (CTPL) coverage.
Two other changes now underway are the immediate correction of encoding errors on insurance and removal of the participation fee in claiming insurance payments, Mendoza said.
