TEAM TO VEHICLE OWNERS: Reclaim impounded units before amnesty ends
The Freeman
|June 15, 2025
The Traffic Enforcement Agency of Mandaue (TEAM) has called on vehicle and motorcycle owners to reclaim their impounded units as the city's P1,000 storage fee under its amnesty program is set to end next month.
-
“Katong dunay mga na-impound sa atoa, motorcycle ba or sakyanan palihug na intawn kuhaa na sa TEAM,'" said TEAM Head Hyll Retuya, in an interview.
Retuya added that the city government's amnesty program is still ongoing.
To recall, the program began on May 2, 2025, and will end on July 31, 2025. It allows owners to reclaim impounded vehicles by paying a significantly reduced storage fee.
The amnesty covered only the storage fees, which have long burdened vehicle owners.
Under City Ordinance 16-2025-1945, vehicle owners only need to pay a flat storage fee of P1,000, on top of any fines for traffic violations.
The ordinance waives the accumulated daily storage charges, which have prevented many from claiming their vehicles.
