Palace spokesman Salvador Panelo has denied reports transport network vehicle service (TNVS) units would be apprehended under the “no-contact” apprehension policy of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).
“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 (TNVS) drivers or operators,” Panelo said in a statement on Friday.
MMDA’s no-contact apprehension policy uses closed-circuit television or CCTV cameras, digital cameras and other gadgets or technology to capture videos and images to apprehend vehicles violating traffic regulations.
Violation notices are sent to the registered owner of the vehicles, who are given seven days to pay the penalty through accredited payment centers. (PressONE.ph)
