Number plates in the Philippines are issued by the Land Transportation Office, and are in the form XXX 999. The first letter generally stands as a regional identifier.

Personalised number plates are available in the Philippines, and motorists can choose any letter combination they wish, providing it is unique, does not have the same format as government vehicles, and the motorist can afford the Php25,000 (£250+) price tag.
