Marcos backs NCAP, calls for its fair implementation
Manila Bulletin
|June 21 2025
President Marcos expressed support for the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) currently being implemented by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), calling it a good initiative that can help promote discipline on the road and curb corruption so long as it is implemented properly.
"In principle, agree ako sa no contact. Magandang layunin 'yan (In principle, I agree with no contact. It's a good objective)," he said in his podcast released on Friday, June 20.
Marcos said the idea behind NCAP was sound, especially if its goal is to ensure consistent enforcement of traffic rules and reduce opportunities for bribery.
