TECHSABADO | On the LTO dilemma: Let’s talk to Aida Yuvienco & Bernard Yu (Aug. 22, 2026)

What happened to LTO’s promise to fully shift to the LTMS? TechSabado seeks answers.

Join Ms. Aida Yuvienco, Project Director of the LTO-LTMS from 2021 to 2022, and Mr. Bernard Yu, Overall Lead Consultant for the LTO-LTMS rollout from 2020 to 2022, as they discuss the transition from the old STRADCOM system to the government-funded LTMS.

They tackle the challenges of running parallel systems, the importance of having one reliable source of truth for records and transactions, accountability in fulfilling commitments, and why putting competent people in the right positions matters in the government’s digital transformation.

They also share their thoughts on the issues surrounding the continued use of the old system and the calls for greater transparency and accountability within the LTO.
