MMDA: Number coding suspended due to bad weather
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) suspended the number coding scheme in Metro Manila on Monday afternoon due to heavy rains caused by the Southwest Monsoon.
This suspension allows vehicles with license plates ending in 1 and 2 to travel on major roads from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., excluding Makati City.
Makati City has not yet announced its own suspension of the number coding scheme.
Public utility vehicles, motorcycles, and essential service vehicles are already exempted from the number coding scheme.
Heavy rains caused flooding on several major roads in Metro Manila, prompting the weather bureau to issue an orange rainfall warning.
Earlier, Malacañang suspended classes and work in government offices in Metro Manila and surrounding provinces.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. also ordered the Department of Transportation, the Philippine Coast Guard, and the Philippine Ports Authority to offer free rides to the public.
