On the other hand, with the PMVIC, Filipinos are required to pay for the standards for "roadworthiness."
It would also impose stricter standards for vehicles before they can be approved for registration.
"Sa kahirapan po ng panahon natin brought about this pandemic, sana may mga batas at polisiya na huwag muna ngayon...Kahit anong gawin natin unahin na muna natin ang kailangan sa pandemyang ito," Samar's first district representative Edgar Sarmiento told Teleradyo of ABS-CBN.
