LTO Office Hours During SONA in Quezon City

by

A Quezon City resident asked on Reddit whether LTO offices in the city will be open on Monday during the State of the Nation Address (SONA) for driver’s license transactions. The question reflects uncertainty about government office operations during the annual presidential address. SONA typically causes road closures and modified government office hours across Metro Manila, directly affecting residents who need to renew licenses or conduct other LTO transactions. Knowing whether offices are open helps QC residents avoid wasted trips and plan alternative dates. Check official LTO announcements on their website or social media for confirmed SONA schedules. Consider visiting LTO satellite offices in malls (like SM City Fairview or Robinsons Galleria) which may have different hours. Allow extra travel time due to SONA-related road closures around Batasan and Commonwealth Avenue.
