The Land Transportation Office (LTO) in Novaliches refers to the LTO offices in Novaliches, the 11th Metro Manila City that never was. These LTO offices were set up in the area to offer better and more accessible public service to the Novaleños residing in the area. The branches of the agency are strategically placed on Quirino Highway, in Robinsons Fairview, and in SM Novaliches, so that it may serve as many of the over 15,000 residents of the area covered by Brgy. Novaliches Proper.
As an area located in the large outskirts of Quezon City, Novaliches Proper is a large district, covering approximately 12 thousand acres. Though it is now mostly filled with expensive residences, the area also still houses small businesses, industrial zones, recreational facilities, famous tourist spots, a few universities, some world-class international hospitals, and one of the oldest churches of Manila, the Church of the Diocese of Novaliches. Now, it is also home to three (3) LTO branches to help make the LTO service more easily accessible in the area. For more detailed information on the LTO Novaliches offices, keep reading this guide.

Where is Novaliches
Novaliches, officially known as Novaliches Proper, is what many people believed to be Metro Manila’s 11th city that never was. It is a place that forms the northern areas of Quezon City and encompasses the whole area of North Caloocan. In 1998, Novaliches almost became an independent city with 15 barangays as a fitting Centennial gift by virtue of Republic Act No. 8535 which was signed by former President Fidel V. Ramos. Unfortunately, it failed to be ratified by the people of Quezon City, as the local government unit of Quezon City, starting from the mayor to the city officials refused to allow Novaliches its independence. The Quezon City government refused to fund the ratification procedures, and when it was finally funded, the procedures involved the entire Quezon City population. Though the ratification procedures for Novaliches got the highest votes in Philippine history, it failed to meet the required number, which caused Novaliches to retain its status as a barangay of Quezon City. To this date, Novaliches remains to be one of the barangays of Quezon City, one of the most populous second congressional district in Metro Manila.
In terms of geography, Novaliches lies on the northernmost and westernmost fringes of Quezon City, bordered by Valenzuela City, North Caloocan City, and San Jose del Monte City. The barangay, Novaliches Proper, shares a common border with barangays Nagkaisang Nayon, Quezon City, San Agustin, Quezon City, Gulod, Quezon City, Kaligayahan, Quezon City, and Santa Monica, Quezon City.
