In the best interest of public service, in case of computer system offline, manual processing of plain renewal motor vehicle registration  shall be allowed without collection of computer fee. However, the following guidelines should be observed, to wit:

1. Only plain motor vehicle renewal transactions, during the period of system offline can be processed manually. Previously expired transactions are not included in this ruling and should not be processed manually;

Penalties for late registration shall not be imposed to new registration transaction when the applicant comes back to the concerned LTO office within the next two (2) days of normal operation; and
   
   
3. During this situation, the regional offices/district offices are instructed to maintain a record in the logbook of all manually processed transactions.
