RELATED NEWS Related news/topic concerning one of the Driver’s License Renewal Requirements:

Negative Drug Test Result from a DOH Accredited Drug Testing Center or Government Hospital. MANILA, Philippines – Signed into law last May 30 by President Benigno Aquino III, R.A. 10586 states that “drug testing will only be conducted for those driving under the influence (DUI) as determined by law enforcement authorities based on certain manifestations, like overspeeding, weaving, lane straddling, swerving and others.”1 The 15th Congress, Senate of the Philippines, press-released the new law criminalizing drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs revoked an inutile provision in the Dangerous Drug Act of 2002 which required mandatory drug testing for those applying of drivers' licenses. It states that Senator Vicente C Sotto III, the principal author of RA 10586, stressed that there is no more mandatory drug testing when one applies or renews for a drivers' license. This is because the new law, Republic Act No. 10586, expressly revoked Sec. 36 (a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 which mandated the drug testing.2 The senator, who has been one of the most ardent advocates against illegal drugs, pointed out that the mandatory drug test has become a waste of money for motorists as well as an ineffective requirement, citing data mined from the Department of Health and the Dangerous Drug Board.3 Torres, however, said she would meet with some government agencies this week to discuss Republic Act 10586, which, according to its principal author Sen. Tito Sotto, scraps “costly” drug tests as a requirement.4 Starting June 28, 2013, there will be no more drug test for license applicants. It became a rule yesterday afternoon following a meeting of the technical working group crafting the IRR of Republic Act No. 105865, according to Land Transportation Office (LTO) chief Assistant Secretary Virginia Torres.6

VALIDITY If your Philippine driver’s license is valid for one year, the PIDP will be valid for one year from the date of issue. If the Philippine driver’s license is valid for less than one year, the PIDP will follow the validity of your Philippine driver’s license. So if your license will expire in six months, your PIDP will also expire in six months. If your PIDP has expired and you are still abroad, you can renew it in any AAP office through a representative (friends or relatives in the Philippines) or send an application for renewal online by visiting the AAP website at www.aap.org.ph. In case of an online renewal, a representative will still need to proceed to any AAP office to complete the process and submit the requirements needed. If the Philippine driver’s license presented upon the previous application for your PIDP is still valid, the representative can just present a photocopy to renew the PIDP. If your local license is already expired, the representative needs to secure a temporary license from LTO and present it to any AAP office, together with the Official Receipt (OR). If the renewed driver’s license is with you abroad, a photocopy together with the original LTO certification and OR will be needed for the renewal. The PIDP is issued only by the AAP. However, interested parties may also apply for PIDP thru Mail and More outlets nationwide except for SM Malls, which are authorized by AAP to accept and process PIDP. A PIDP issued elsewhere is most likely fake and using it can get the one holding it into serious trouble abroad. Call the AAP main office 655 5889 or visit AAP immediately to establish the authenticity of your PIDP. SOURCE: Automobile Association Philippines
