MMDA warns vs. fake link for NCAP violators

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Monday warned the public against a fake link where motorists may check if they have violations amid the resumption of the No Contact Apprehension Program (NCAP).

“Ang kumakalat na link ukol sa ‘May Violation Ba?’ na nagsasabing pwede mong check online kung nahuli ka sa No Contact Apprehension Program ay hindi opisyal,” MMDA said in a social media post.

(The link on “Do You Have a Violation?” that says you can check online if you were caught in the No Contact Apprehension Program is not official.)

“Iwasan ang pagpo-post at pag-share ng link na ito para hindi magdulot ng kalituhan. Iwasang gamitin ang website at huwag i-type ang inyong plaka rito,” it added.

(Avoid posting and sharing the link to avoid spreading confusion. Avoid using the website and do not type your plate number.)

The MMDA clarified that the agency is currently organizing the NCAP website.

At least 582 violations were monitored on the first day of the resumption of NCAP earlier today.

Most of the violations involved disregarding traffic signs and illegal use of the EDSA busway, MMDA said.

NCAP is a policy that uses closed-circuit television, digital cameras and/or other technology to capture videos and images to apprehend vehicles violating traffic laws, instead of traffic enforcers on the ground.

It was resumed after the Supreme Court partially lifted the temporary restraining order against the policy, allowing only the MMDA to implement the policy. —Mariel Celine Serquiña/LDF, GMA Integrated News
