Press Release
TRANSCRIPT OF SEN. GRACE POE s SPONSORSHIP SPEECH
I put forward the report of the committee on public services which on Feb. 09, 2021, conducted a hearing on the operation of Private Motor Vehicles Inspection Centers or PMVICs.
Back in 2018, the DOTr decreed that the physical inspection of vehicles, which was previously conducted by the Land Transportation Office, along with an additional battery of tests, 73 in total, shall now be conducted by Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers which it will accredit outside the usual modes of procurement.
As mentioned in the report, the main objective of the committee hearing was to shed light on the issues currently hounding the operation of PMVICs. Nang matapos ang hearing, naging mas malinaw na hindi lamang pala iilan ang problemang kinakaharap dito. Kaya ang naging resoluyon ng komite ang polisiya mismo ang may problema.

SunStar February 14, 2021 The Philippine Senate is looking into the controversial Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers that were given accreditation by the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to operate. The Land Transportation Office did not like the intervention or comments of the Senate.
There are reportedly around 180 inspection centers nationwide tasked to check the road worthiness or capability of private cars to traverse public thoroughfares safely. The inspection is prerequisite to the registration of newly acquired private vehicles and those whose registrations are to be renewed. Initial inspection will cost the registered car owner some P1,500. There are an estimated four million private vehicles in the Philippines. Motorcycles are required to have the same inspection, although at half of the price. Buses and trucks are not covered.
