METRO
NCAP making a comeback
In separate public announcements, local officials from the cities of Manila and Valenzuela confirmed the 5 October launch date.
The No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) will resume across several Metro Manila cities on 5 October as local authorities move toward a unified regional framework for traffic enforcement.
The re-implementation follows guidelines set under the Metro Manila Traffic Code of 2023, which standardizes traffic rules, administrative procedures, and penalty amounts across participating local government units.
In separate public announcements, local officials from the cities of Manila and Valenzuela confirmed the 5 October launch date, stating the digital monitoring system aims to boost road safety and instil driver discipline across busy urban corridors.
Under the reactivated policy, high-resolution surveillance cameras will record traffic infractions, allowing authorities to issue digital violation notices without requiring traffic enforcers to pull over drivers on site.
The updated framework introduces digital portals where motorists can view flagged violations, settle administrative fines through accredited online payment gateways, or submit formal appeals to contest specific apprehensions.
