The Land Transportation Office National Capital Region (LTO-NCR) has launched “Oplan Undas 2025” to ensure the safety and roadworthiness of vehicles on Metro Manila Roads. This is in anticipation of the surge of travelers this Undas season.
LTO Chief, Assistant Secretary Markus Lacanilao, has directed all Regional Offices to implement Oplan Undas 2025 in compliance with the directive of the Department of Transportation (DOTr).

Following the chief’s directives, LTO-NCR Regional Director Mr. Roque I. Verzosa III led the send-off of the  LTO-NCR Field Enforcement Unit.
The LTO-NCR Law Enforcement Team continues its inspection operations at major bus terminals in Metro Manila to check the roadworthiness of public utility vehicles (PUVs) and ensure they are fit for long-distance trips. Alongside terminal inspections, random roadside monitoring of both private and public vehicles is also being conducted at multiple checkpoints across the National Capital Region.

“Undas is a cherished Filipino tradition. As it continues, the LTO will likewise continue to inspect bus terminals and other public utility vehicles to ensure the safety of our fellow Filipinos,” said Director Verzosa.

Assistant Regional Director Atty. Dennis P. Barrion reminded motorists to exercise caution and take responsibility for their own safety.
‍
“Before going on a trip, check your vehicle thoroughly and always remember the ‘BLOWBAGETS’ safety reminder,” ARD Barion advised.
‍
The BLOWBAGETS acronym stands for Battery, Lights, Oil, Water, Brakes, Air, Gas, Engine, Tires, and Self, serving as a quick checklist to help motorists ensure their vehicles are in proper condition before hitting the road.

Through Oplan Undas 2025, LTO-NCR reaffirms its continued commitment to promoting road safety and preventing accidents as Filipinos reunite with their families this holiday season.
