Bernadette Herrera on whether the issue on internet connectivity has been addressed, Tugade answered in the affiramtive and said they "will make sure that there will not be any excuses" to not use the LTMS system.<ul class='op-related-articles'>	<li><a href='https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/09/02/22/lto-apologizes-for-slow-transactions-blames-it-provider'>LTO apologizes for slow transactions, blames IT provider</a></li></ul>The LTO admitted that historical data of its clients’ transactions have yet to be fully turned over by the agency’s previous IT service provider, Stradcom. “Because historical data is missing, hindi nakikita ‘yung hit ng sasakyan, kung may atraso sa daan ‘yung sasakyan before ma-register. That’s why dumadaan pa muna sa dating database bago pumunta sa bago," Herrera said."When will we now see that this will not happen, para hindi naaabala 'yung ating riding public?” Herrera added.The lawmaker also said that LTO should address the issue of bottlenecking in their services as renewing documents seems to go through a lot of processes.“Mag-ri-renew ako ng license, ’yung pupuntahan ko na LTO office has to call the main office and ask, 'Ito bang driver na ito may hit? Mayroon ba siyang past penalties?' and all that. They will have to call personally the one in charge in the LTO before makapag-renew ng lisensya ang isang tao...

Doon nagkakaroon ng bottleneck… hindi ba pwedeng unahin natin 'yun?” she urged.The committee directed Stradcom to transfer all relevant data to the government through the the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).Stradcom told the panel that it would need 7 months to complete the database transfer but the DICT insisted that 60 days should be enough.Meanwhile, the panel instructed the two parties to coordinate on the timeline.“Stradcom, regardless of any letter that you are requiring, you are hereby directed by this committee to transfer the database lock, stock and barrel to DICT and LTO,” panel Chairperson Rep. Romeo Acop said.The government still owes Stradcom more than P5 billion.<ul class='op-related-articles'>	<li><a href='https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/08/10/22/lto-it-systems-provider-meet-to-iron-out-issues'>LTO, IT systems provider meet to iron out issues</a></li></ul>
