The government has authorized the Villar Group to proceed with the second round of the toll increase in the Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway (MCX).

The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) approved a P1 increase in the toll rates of the MCX, which is a follow-up to the initial hike implemented toward the end of 2023.

The adjustment will be implemented in February at the latest.

TRB executive director Alvin Carullo said the latest round of toll adjustment should be enforced either by the end of this month or start of February.
