Payongpayong excluded from registration

The City Transport and Traffic Management Office (CTTMO) commenced registration of pedal-operated and motorized transport tricycles for hire but payong-payong will not be included.

“We will register pedal-operated and motorized transport tricycles for hire or closed-cab tricycles excluding payong-payong because they are considered as illegal attachment since they are only registered as single motorcycle,” CTTMO head Dionosio Abude said.

According to Abude, registration fees vary for each type. For bicycle, P205; trisikad, P205; tricycle for transport use, P635; tricycle for vending-use P1,135; and for tricycle for delivery-use, P1135.

A personnel from the City Treasurer’s Office will be designated at the one-stop shop registration site.

The requirements for the operators include accomplished registration form, OR/CR photocopy, photocopy of common carrier insurance for passengers, photocopy of driver’s license, barangay clearance, police clearance, photocopy of residence certificate, health certificate, official receipt and order of payment.

Meanwhile, requirement for drivers include photocopy of driver’s license, barangay clearance, police clearance, health certificate, residence certificate, and owner’s certification.

Abude also said they will check the road worthiness of the tricycles before the registration.

“Our team will check if the unit is road worthy and if it is complete with required equipment like break, headlight, tail light, side mirror and others,” he said.
