3.  If the Motor vehicle involved is already considered "unrestorable" or "total loss" the insurance shall immediately surrender the vehicle's registration documents to the LTO for cancellation, proof of which, shall in addition to the requirement in paragraph 1, be submitted to the Insurance Commission.

All reports corresponding to paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above must be submitted to the Insurance Commission every 10th of the month following the month covered by the reports. Said reports shall be compiled for onward submission to the Directives Monitoring Office of the Presidential Management Staff.
