License and Expiration

Yesterday I went to Land Transportation Office to have my drivers license renewed as it has already expired almost a month ago, meaning I have been driving with an expired license, anyway I as usually am not surprised that immediately when I parked my car I was flagged by fixers offering their services, their services compsoe of getting the forms you need, faster(not true) processing of your renewal application and release of your ID as well as guiding you through the messy procedure of your local LTO office, of course everything for a price which is about 600 pesos more on top of the fees you pay for your license, drug check, and eye exam which I don't understand why it would cost 100 pesos as the person doing the eye exam is not even qualified or not paying attention to what they have to be checking, the price for the drug check is more reasonable at 300 pesos, anyway as usual it took me 6 hours to get my license at least this time it didn't take me 6 months to get my ID card, I also wonder why the LTO office allowed this unscrupulous fixer to be inside their compound when they have no actual business being there, apart from that I also wonder why the LTO need an BIR ID when all they need is the TIN number for renewal of registration of motor vehicle, which make me think that the LTO is making the process more inconvenient for people so that they will get the services of this fixers, good thing I only have to renew my license every 3 years.
