The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority has asked the Land Transportation Office to lift the tagging and alarm of vehicles apprehended under the agency’s No Contact Apprehension Policy after a temporary restraining order was issued by the Supreme Court for its implementation.
“Without violating the Supreme Court TRO and with the higher interest of public service, the MMDA hereby requests the Stradcom Corporation to temporarily lift the tagging and alarm of the affected motor vehicles under the MMDA’s NCAP. This will allow the owners and/or buyers to renew and/or transfer their registration with the LTO,” he added.
Immediately after the TRO issuance, the MMDA announced that it would suspend NCAP implementation but those previously caught under NCAP must still settle their penalties. Dimayuga, however, emphasized that the request is until such time that the Supreme Court issues a final ruling on the matter.
