FAKE DOCUMENT

Palace denies issuing no-contact apprehension order against TNVS

Malacañang on Friday denied it has issued an order implementing no-contact apprehension policy against drivers and operators of Transportation Network Vehicle Services (TNVS).

Under the no-contact policy, violators would get their traffic citation or tickets and notices with a screengrab from CCTV footage attached and details of the violation

“The Office of the President advises the public that Executive Secretary Salvador C. Medialdea has not signed or caused the release of a particular document, which is labeled as Memorandum No. 636, purportedly adopting a no contact apprehension for Transportation Network Vehicle Services (TNVS) drivers or operators,” presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo said.

“The document is fake.”

TNVS drivers or operators who do not have a provisional authority or certificate of public convenience would not be apprehended starting Monday, July 15, the Palace official said citing the bogus memorandum. —VDS, GMA News
