In general, colorum is illegal. Take the vehicle situation. Lots of busses, taxis, FX’s and jeepneys, even tricycles are colorum… for they travel anywhere they want without any boundaries, some even have the same plate numbers. And all there are being doctored inside the LTO’s as what I heard over the radio.
And for almost a month, I have seen lots of colorum buses creating heavy traffic every Saturday morning along White Plains occupying 3 lanes ?

This is what I just now: It means something about the COLOR (of the vehicle plate).
GREEN plates means PRIVATE*.
YELLOW plates means PUBLIC.
If you use your private* vehicle for public use then you are a colorum. So private owners must re-register their OR/CR to public use.

Etymology – It could have been lifted from the Latin “per omnia secula seculorum”.
