Wazzup Pilipinas!?
Brace yourselves, Metro Manila motorists—the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is bringing back the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) starting Monday, May 26. And this time, it’s coming strong across the main Circumferential (C) and Radial (R) roads—the very arteries that keep the metro moving.
This isn’t just another traffic update—it’s a return to a system that watches your every move through the lens of CCTV cameras and catches every traffic violation without a single traffic enforcer in sight. NCAP is the invisible sentinel, operating with relentless precision, designed to instill discipline on the roads and curb the reckless behaviors that have long plagued Metro Manila’s chaotic traffic culture.
Where Will NCAP Be Implemented?
The following major roads fall under MMDA jurisdiction for the NCAP reimplementation:
Circumferential Roads (C1–C5)
C1: Recto Avenue
C2: Mendoza, Pres. Quirino Avenue
C3: Araneta Avenue
C4: EDSA
C5: C.P. Garcia, Katipunan Avenue, Tandang Sora
Radial Roads (R1–R10)
R1: Roxas Boulevard
R2: Taft Avenue
R3: South Super Highway
R4: Shaw Boulevard
R5: Ortigas Avenue
R6: Magsaysay Boulevard, Aurora Boulevard
R7: Quezon Avenue, Commonwealth Avenue
R8: A. Bonifacio Avenue
R9: Rizal Avenue
R10: Del Pan, Marcos Highway, McArthur Highway
These thoroughfares are not just busy—they’re vital to the everyday lifeblood of the capital. And with NCAP in place, there's now zero room for error. A single illegal turn, lane switch, beating the red light, or improper stop, and you'll find the violation notice delivered straight to your door.
Why NCAP Matters
This policy isn’t about punishment. It’s about reinforcing responsibility. It’s about putting an end to impunity and making drivers accountable even when no officer is around. With the roads constantly monitored by CCTV cameras, every driver is expected to be vigilant, law-abiding, and conscious of their actions behind the wheel.
The MMDA’s move signals a return to tech-powered governance, where data and surveillance serve as tools to instill discipline and reduce conflict between traffic enforcers and motorists. It also means no more bribery, no more arguments, and fewer choke points caused by roadside apprehensions.
A Call to All Motorists
This is your wake-up call. From May 26 onwards, drive as if your every move is recorded—because it is.
Follow traffic rules. Respect speed limits. Avoid counterflows. Obey signal lights. And remember: discipline should never be situational—it should be constant.
The MMDA isn’t asking for perfection. But it is demanding accountability, responsibility, and awareness—qualities that every safe road user must carry. The NCAP is back, and with it, the hope of a smoother, safer, and saner Metro Manila.
Be informed. Be alert. And most importantly— drive with discipline.
This announcement is based on the MMDA's advisory on the reimplementation of the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) across key Metro Manila roads under its jurisdiction.
