This applies to brand new cars in Metro Manila. There currently is a shortage of car license plates for new vehicles because the government agency in charge of this screwed up. As such it can take you as long as a year to get your licence plate for a new car. As a temporary measure all new cars in Metro Manila which don't have plates yet are required to display the conduction sticker number of the car on the spaces allotted for regular license plates in front and at the rear of the car (Hence home made plates. Some just print out stickers, others are more fancy and have custom made euro style plates with the conduction sticker numbers on them). This allows the government to still implement their vehicle reduction scheme by using the last digit of the conduction sticker.
