“Suspendido ang pagpapatupad ng expanded number coding scheme bukas, Mayo 1, 2026, isang regular holiday, bilang paggunita sa Araw ng Paggawa,” the advisory stated.

All vehicles will be allowed to travel on major thoroughfares within Metro Manila, providing relief for motorists during the holiday and long weekend period.
