Formerly known as Southern Mindanao Region, the Davao region (officially designated as Region XI) is an agri-based region in the southeastern portion of Mindanao. It is now developing into a center for agro-industrial business, trade, and tourism, encouraging businesses and frontline government agencies like the LTO to set up more branches, so they can offer efficient and better public service delivery.
What is LTO Davao?
When you say LTO Davao, what comes to mind is either one or all of the LTO offices in the Davao region. Any one of the different LTO branches, from the regional office down to the e-Patrol, were created to support the LTO in its functions to register motor vehicles, issue driver’s and conductor’s licenses and permits, enforce transportation laws, rules and regulations and adjudicate apprehension cases.
