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.
Link to the actual government memorandum covering this:

Just read through the memo and I've still got some questions. So people are
required to make homemade license plates? This isn't optional? That just sucks donkey balls. Are there any particular rules on how they're supposed to look?
I think I've read people say they're getting Euro-style plates of their conduction stickers but I believe there's a pic some pages back of someone getting it Japanese style (his 2 letters were TV + 4 digits).
Also, what's the difference between Vanity License Plates and Optional Motor Vehicle Special Plates? I wasn't aware of any other plate format besides the previous ABC 123, ABC 12, and the newer ABC 1234.
