SC partially lifts TRO on no-contact apprehension
The Supreme Court (SC) has partially lifted its temporary restraining order (TRO) against the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority's (MMDA) no-contact apprehension program (NCAP) on major thoroughfares.
SC Spokesperson Atty. Camille Sue Mae Ting confirmed the SC acted on an urgent motion filed by the MMDA through the Office of the Solicitor General, partially lifting the TRO issued in August 2022.
This means the MMDA's NCAP can now be implemented on major thoroughfares like C5 and EDSA, but the SC's restraining order against local government unit ordinances implementing their own NCAP and associated fines remains in effect.
The MMDA noted that about 833,000 traffic violations were recorded since the NCAP's suspension from August 2022 to April 2025.
In March 2025 alone, 12,566 traffic violations were documented, exceeding the 9,500 average monthly violations prior to the NCAP's suspension.
