IT firm asserts validity of LTO concession agreement
MANILA, Philippines — An information technology (IT) firm said its operations with the Land Transportation Office are covered by a valid concession agreement with the national government.
This comes amid graft allegations filed against former LTO chief Vigor Mendoza II before the Office of the Ombudsman by transport group Federated Land Transport Organizations of the Philippines.
Stradcom Corp. said in a media statement that it “operates and delivers services to the LTO pursuant to a valid, legal, binding, and enforceable concession agreement with the government.”
The company added that it remains “compliant with the terms and conditions of the concession agreement, and faithful in helping the LTO’s service to the motoring public.”
Feltop questioned the collection of a computer fee for transactions processed through the LTO-IT system developed by Stradcom, which has automated LTO transactions since 2003.
The transport group alleged that the company generated at least P169 million from January 2025 to February 2026, claiming that the collection was made possible by alleged preferential treatment from Mendoza.
Stradcom also said it has yet to receive a copy of the Feltop complaint and deemed it “prudent to first review the allegations once the complaint is officially served.”
It said that “at the proper time, we will respond accordingly and take the necessary legal steps to address what appear to be unfounded graft allegations against our company.”
The firm added that its IT infrastructure continues to support the digital processing of vehicle registration and driver’s license transactions nationwide. (Contributed story)
