The backlog stemmed from a 2013 order by the Commission on Audit that prevented LTO from transacting with its previous supplier, Amalgamated Motors Philippines, due to lack of a proper contract.

The LTO also finalized its emergency procurement of license cards last week before the TRO was lifted. The procurement of 350,000 cards is enough to cover a month of backlog. -- With a report from Jacque Manabat, ABS-CBN News
