WHEREAS, Section 30 of Ordinance No. 1028 Series of 2022 provides

Valenzuela City”, the VCTO has issued a deadline for registration until
December 31, 2014 for the extension of the amnesty of revoked Public
Tricycles. However, there are still some owners of revoked franchise who failed
to register on time due to lack of financial capability to process their
documents or other circumstances that hindered them to register at the VCTO

the same;
