As part of the agency’s reinvigorated efforts to instill discipline among motorists and bring order to Metro Manila roads, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) led the launch of a new website that allows vehicle owners to check their traffic violations under the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP).
MMDA Chairperson Romando Artes cited such as the “May Huli Ka 2.0”, which is a new web-based platform that makes use of a motorist’s plate or conduction sticker number and motor vehicle (MV) file number to look up possible offenses committed on city roads.
“The inclusion of the MV file number is an added security and protection so that only the vehicle owners can securely check their violations under NCAP,” Artes explained during the launch held at the MMDA headquarters in Pasig City.
“Before, vehicle owners verify their violations by simply entering their plate numbers on the former website. This system raised data privacy concerns, prompting the need for more secure and authenticated access,” he added.
The website also contains the steps to take if there is a violation, the payment process, where fines can be settled, and how to contest or appeal the apprehensions.

Meanwhile, the MMDA chief noted that the website is bound to undergo further enhancements and additional features in the future, which would be based on feedback gathered from its users.
These include access to detailed violation information, including photo and video evidence, date and time, type of violation, corresponding fines, and settlement locations through the platform; real-time SMS and email notifications upon account creation for any new violations recorded; the ability for users with multiple vehicles or fleets to enroll all their registered units under a single account; online contest processes and hearing schedules; and online payment integration.
Artes also hinted at the launch of a real-time notification system which includes SMS and email alerts that would work vis-à-vis online access to violation details.
Philippine National Police (PNP) chief PGen. Nicolas Torre III, who was also present at the event, noted that the closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras utilized for the NCAP would also double as a tool for the PNP’s five-minute response time initiative.
