It’s Not Free! Driver’s Education Course Requires A Fee Of P1,000

Contrary to earlier clarification that the Comprehensive Driver’s Education Certificate could be obtained for free, LTO Chief Edgar Galvante himself said it is not free.
The fee is P1,000 but there are reports in the provinces that some accredited driving schools are charging as much as P5,000.
After this exchange of clarificatory information, I maintain na wrong-timing itong programa na ito especially in the face of the economic hardships.
P1,000 or P5,000 is still a big financial burden to the ordinary tricycle driver in Kidapawan City and truck drivers carrying food commodities from Mindanao to Luzon.
