With regards to the PMVIS, it will not be mandatory anymore. This means that car registration will not entail additional fees.

Previously, it was revealed that the PMVIS would impose an initial inspection fee of P1,800, as per Rappler. If the vehicle does not pass the initial test, it will charge another P900 for the second test.
