MEMORANDUM

“Permit to Assemble to be Issued by TMG as a Mandatory Requirement Prior to Assembly of Motor Vehicle

1.         References:

a)    RA 6539 (Anti-Carnapping Act of 1972) (Annex “A”)
b)    Approved New Rates of Fees for Motor Vehicle Clearance Certificate (Annex “B”)
c)    SOP#2 Streamlining the PNP Motor Vehicle Clearance Procedure (Annex “C”)

2.         Section 10 of RA 6539 provides in part:

‘Sec. 10        Clearance and permit required for assembly or rebuilding of motor vehicles — Any person who shall undertake to assemble or rebuild or cause the assembly or rebuilding of a motor vehicle shall first secure a certificate of clearance from the Philippine Constabulary: Provided, that no such permit shall be issued unless the applicant shall present a statement under oath containing the type, make and serial numbers of the engine and chassis and body, if any, and the complete list of the spare parts of the motor vehicle to be assembled or rebuilt together with the names and addresses of the sources thereof. . . .’ (Underscoring supplied for emphasis)

The above quoted provision intends to establish a requirement prior to the assembly or rebuild of a motor vehicle, specifically, it requires any person to secure first a certificate of clearance from the Philippine Constabulary (PC). It appears that this provision of the law has not yet been enforced, and the need for its implementation is now paramount. It is anticipated with optimism that its implementation will be an effective deterrent to the use of motor vehicle spare parts from illegal sources, such as that coming from carnapped motor vehicles.

3.         In order to obviate resistance and misunderstanding from the public, it is better to explain that Section 10 is different from Section 6 of the same law (RA 6539). Section 6 provides in part as follows:

‘Sec. 6.    Original Registration of motor vehicles — Any person seeking the original registration of a motor vehicle, whether that motor vehicle is newly assembled or rebuilt or acquired from a registered owner, shall within one week after the completion of the assembly or rebuilding job or the acquisition thereof from the registered owner, apply to the Philippine Constabulary for clearance of the motor vehicle for registration with the Land Transportation Commission. . . .’.

Comparatively, the provision of Section 6 is a requirement for the original registration of the motor vehicle after the assembly. The said provision is being enforced ever since, and that the detail of its implementation can be found in SOP#2 issued by the Director, TMG on October 28, 1997 (Annex “C”). Section 10 is a requirement to secure a clearance before the assembly or rebuild of the motor vehicle. Apparently, the provisions are complimentary and intended to further restrict assembly or rebuild of motor vehicle as a deterrent factor to carnapping activities.

4.  In view of the foregoing, TMG recommends the implementation of Section 10, Republic Act 6539 by way of establishing a requirement for a clearance/permit to assemble prior to the assembly or rebuilding of motor vehicle and that a corresponding fee of P150.00 be charged for the issuance of such permit.

5.  It is further recommended that the Revised Rates of Fees for Motor Vehicle Clearance be amended in order to include the payment for “Permit to Assemble” and that prior to its implementation, the guidelines provided in Chapter 2 (Rules and Regulations, Sec. 3 of Book VII of the Administrative Procedure). (Administrative Code of 1987/copy attached as Annex “D”) be properly observed.”

6.  Request signature of C, PNP recommending the approval to the Hon. Secretary, DILG of paragraphs 4 and 5 of this memorandum.”
