As of the moment, there is no definitive answer to whether there is still an online exam required for the renewal of driver's license in the Philippines. However, based on recent updates from the Land Transportation Office (LTO), it seems that there are some changes in the renewal process due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the LTO, starting August 3, 2020, only applicants who are applying for a driver's license for the first time or those whose license has expired for more than two years will be required to take the written and practical examinations. For those who are just renewing their license, they may no longer need to take the exams.
However, it's important to note that this information may still change depending on the current situation in the country. It's best to check the official website of the LTO or visit their office to get the most updated information and guidelines for renewing your driver's license.
