LTO sorry for late transactions, blames IT provider

The Land Transportation Office has apologized over their slow services that frustrated vehicle owners in the last few days.

Some photos circulated online showed that even the cashier window was offline but some motorists decided to wait.

“Humihingi po ng paunawa at paumanhin ang inyong Land Transportation Office (LTO) sa nararanasan ngayong pagbabago sa sistema at mga transaksyon sa ilan sa mga tanggapan ng ahensya. Makakaasa po ang publiko sa pagsisikap ng LTO na mapabuti ang serbisyo at nang maiwasan ang katulad na sitwasyon sa hinaharap,” the statement read.

The LTO said on Thursday that they cannot pinpoint the main source of the problem.

“Kasalukuyan na ring inaalam ng aming mga eksperto sa teknolohiya ang pinagmulan ng problemang teknikal at makatitiyak ang publiko na ginagawan na ito ng solusyon upang sa lalong madaling panahon ay maibalik ang normal na operasyon,” it said.

“Wala pa pong listahan ng mga apektadong district offices bagamat halos lahat naman ay may nararanasang slowdown, pero hindi po offline,” the agency said.

LTO Chief Teofilo Guadiz II said that they are meeting with their IT service providers.

“Possible ganito. Possible ganyan. We even considered possibly si PLDT ang cause. We ruled out everything, and it points out now dun sa IT provider namin mam,” Guadiz said.

But the private company said that they are not to be blamed.

“Nagrereklamo sila na mabagal daw ‘yung ibang LTO offline. Again, hawak po namin software. The software is working. Ang problema ng mga LTO offices, wala silang internet. Kung may internet ay mabagal. ‘Yung ibang LTO ay sinasadya pong hindi i-on ang LTMS at puno rin ang internet. That is an internet problem. Network problem. Hindi po ‘yan sa Dermalog, sa LTO po ‘yan. Yung ganung pagkukulang, yung ganung offline ay ‘yun po ay sa LTO,” Dermalog spokesperson Nikki De Vega said.
