Several local government units (LGUs) reimplement the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) on Monday, October 5, 2026, in parts of Metro Manila. Reporting from multiple outlets says the policy is set to operate on specific city roads and uses automated systems to record traffic violations.
All outlets cited list the same core group of cities covered: Manila, Muntinlupa, Parañaque, Quezon City, San Juan, and Valenzuela, with GMA stating implementation starts in parts of Metro Manila that day. Under NCAP, violations are recorded through closed-circuit television and high-speed or digital cameras, and standardized fines apply for offenses captured within covered areas, aligned with the Metro Manila Traffic Code of 2023.
Some outlets also highlight public and stakeholder concerns. Transport and commuter groups urge the LGUs to delay or clarify the NCAP return, citing issues such as implementation readiness, due process, and added costs for motorists, including pressures from rising fuel prices. An explainer from GMA outlines what motorists need to know as the policy resumes.
