Chapter III, Sec. 21 of the Republic Act (RA) 4136, otherwise known as the “Land Transportation and Traffic Code” states that:. “Bonafide tourists and similar transients who are duly licensed to operate motor vehicles in their respective countries may be allowed to operate during but not after (90) days of their sojourn in the Philippines.” 

However, if the foreign driver’s license is not written in English, such driver’s license should always be accompanied by an Official English translation issued by the Embassy of the issuing country in the Philippines.
