MTOP Sample in Tagum City (full credits to tagumcity.gov.ph)

The MTOP, otherwise known by motorcycle drivers as the Motorized Tricycle Operators Permit is a very valuable document for qualifying to use your motorcycle for business or tricycle for hire to passengers may be applied for. There are certain local municipality and city ordinances that govern its implementation, application, qualification, fees and charges for the document and requirements to be able to qualify to apply. If you own a vehicle, please read important notes below. Note that this document is also important if you are an operator and you want to use your unit to apply for a tricycle loan.

MTOP Requirements (in different cases and municipality coverage)

  • Community Tax Certificate
  • Xerox copy of certificate of registration or a promissory note (if the unit is installment basis)
  • Xerox copy of Deed of Absolute Sale if the unit/tricycle has been bought to a franchise holder & been transferred into his/her name
  • Xerox copy of Professional Driver’s License

Fees / Charges

  • Php 1,430.00 full cost

In some other municipalities and cities, the applicant for the provisional permit is being obliged to pay the following charges: (total of Php 145.00)

1. Filling Fee P 50.00

2. Inspection Fee P 20.00

3. Provisional Permit Fee P 75.00


Other Possible Fees to Collect

1. Franchise Fee – P 300.00 every three (3) years

2. Filing Fee – P 50.00 every three (3) years

3. Inspection Fee – P 20.00 annually

4. Fare Adjustment Fee – P 50.00 upon filing

6. Filing Fee for opposition and/or petitions – P 50.00 upon filing

7. Regulatory Fee – P 100.00 annually

8. Provisional Permit Fee – P 75.00 every three (3) months

Upon a comprehensive research online for other payment modes and how much the operators and drivers of tricycle are charged, I found out that in areas like Tagum City, the full charge for MTOP application costs Php 1, 150.00 which will be paid to the city Treasurer’s Office – Licensing Division and it only takes about 5 minutes to fall in line in this city. You can also find a list here – http://www.mexicopampanga.com/index.php/investors-guide/ordinancesresolutions/tricycle-franchising.html.

    sir/madam:

    would just want to clarify some points i hope my queries would be answered.

    1. could a TODA president implement an order wherein drivers who wnat to be part of their existing TODA would pay more than ten thousand pesos?

    2. can police officers catch drivers who are putting up TODA in our place? do they have the power to impound vehicles simply because driver doesnt have his license with him? said driver was not driving at the time they they were brought to the precint.

    3. actions of said policemen were because of the complaint of the TODA president mentioned above- is it legal especially since no formal complaint nor any document was shown to the drivers mentioned in number 2?

    4.can other drivers not form their own toda especially since membership fee in already existing toda is very high?

    i would appreciate if your good office would shed light on my queries.
    thank you very much.

    Good day,
    Who handles the tricycle fare in Cabrera, Tramo and Protacio Pasay? Who should I be talking to? The reason I ask is that some tricycle drivers ask passengers (alone or with someone) to pay P30 just from Vergel cor taft to Tramo cor Protacio but some drivers don’t. Should there be any sign indicating the said fare where passengers can see them? Who should be handling this? What documents should tricycle drivers have on them when they are driving the vehicle? Should it REALLY be P30 for that matter? I hope i get answers soon because some drivers are ripping off passengers who are working hard to earn money AND paying the CORRECT TAXES. FYI, there are a lot of colorum tricycle here too. Thank you.
