In October 2017, Congress approved on its third and final reading House Bill 1530, "which mandates all government agencies to indicate the blood type of the individual applying for an identification card, certificate, and license." The main purpose of this is "to help enable immediate blood transfusion during accidents and other medical emergency situations." I'm taking this to mean that it's not mandatory information-at least not yet. Thankfully, the LTO encoding personnel had the good sense to leave the 'Blood Type' field blank when it was obvious that an applicant wasn't entirely positive about his or her answer. In the encoding section, however, one question was causing a slight holdup: " Ano po ang blood type niyo?"īlood typing was not part of the required medical examination prior to license renewal, so understandably, many of the applicants were caught off-guard by the question. It was a weekday, there weren't too many applicants, and the queue was moving along at a steady pace. " Basta po within 60 days of expiration, pwede nang mag-renew," said the Land Transportation Office (LTO) personnel at the Driver's License Renewal Center (DLRC). Finding myself with three hours to kill, I decided to renew my driver's license at SM North EDSA last month, even if it was still valid for another 30 days.
