The shortage in plastic ID cards for driver's licenses was caused not by a lack of funds, but a 'lack of smarts and foresight' in procuring the said ID cards. House deputy speaker Rep. Ralph Recto said the Land Transportation Office (LTO) should remember its own advice to motorists—to anticipate possible problems on the road. 'The reason is not a lack of funds, but a lack of smarts. Not all procurement debacles stem from lack of money. Some are caused by inefficiency by agencies rich in resources but poor in foresight,' he said on Saturday.
