President Rodrigo Duterte segued an order barring members of his Cabinet to use low-numbered or protocol license plates.

The President in a speech during the oath taking of newly-appointed officials on February 13 was talking about the policemen’s service to the country when he suddenly remembered the topic of plate numbers.

Other low number assignments include ‘3’ for the Senate President, ‘4’ for the Speaker of the House of Representatives, ‘5’ for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, ‘7’ for the senators’ and ‘8’ for the congressmen.
