The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) suspended the implementation of the expanded number coding scheme on Monday, August 10, due to inclement weather brought by the southwest monsoon, or “habagat.”

The suspension means vehicles with license plates ending in 1 and 2 may travel on major roads across Metro Manila without being covered by the number coding scheme for the day.

The MMDA advised motorists to plan their trips accordingly and exercise caution while driving, particularly amid the ongoing rains and flooding in several areas.

"Paalala ng MMDA: planuhin ang biyahe, mag-ingat sa pagmamaneho, at manatiling nakatutok sa mahahalagang impormasyon kaugnay sa lagay ng panahon," MMDA said in a social media post.

Motorists are also urged to remain alert and prioritize safety while traveling.
