MANILA - The no-contact apprehension policy will stay in place despite the suspension of the EDSA rebuild, Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon said Monday.&quot;I think NCAP will stay because NCAP is not just about EDSA,&quot; Dizon told a press conference. &quot;It’s about enforcing, a more efficient way of enforcing our traffic rules.&quot;Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Head of Special Operations Gabriel Go also stressed that there is no reason to stop the enforcement.&quot;Ang batas-trapiko wala naman pong pinipili &#x27;yan. Pangalawa, order po ito ng Supreme Court, na dapat po nating sundin,&quot; he said.&quot;Uulitin ko po, hindi lang po ito about taffic rules and regulatrions, this is also safety and order sa ating mga kalsada,&quot; he added.Transport groups have been calling for the suspension of the implementation of NCAP.For public utility drivers who spend most of their days on the road servicing the commuting public, it is only right to suspend NCAP.“Dapat muna, sa amin mga driver lahat suspended muna tapos ayusin muna yung sa mga stoplight natin, sa mga kalsada.”  said taxi driver Algen Cobrado.“Baka minsan, mahal pa &#x27;yung tubos, doon sa presyo ng sasakyan. Kasi bawat liko mo kung may camera, doon may violation ka, dito may violation ka, eh papaano naman po &#x27;yun?” said jeepney driver Marcelo Jamon.Different transport organizations were also united in saying no to NCAP.“Sinuspend na ng pangulo &#x27;yung dahilan ng lifting, temporary lifting ng TRO ng NCAP which is &#x27;yung rehabilitation ng EDSA. Sinuspend na din ng MMDA yung odd even scheme, pero bakit &#x27;yung NCAP nananatiling nandiyan?” said Manibela president Mar Valbuena.“Dapat hindi ginagawang pagkakaperahan &#x27;yung mga violations. Dapat ito, inuuna nila inieducate nila dapat ang mga drivers,&quot; said LABAN TNVS president Jun De Leon.The National Public Transport Coalition says they will convene with all the other transport organizations within the coalition to request for a TRO in the implementation of NCAP from the Supreme Court.“Yes, magre-request ulit kami ng TRO. Siguro may kanya-kanya naman kaming abogado, na dapat mag-aral dito, siguro, pag pinagsabay-sabay para i-collate ulit. Kung iyan ba ay pakikinggan ng Korte Suprema,&quot; said Ariel Lim, national convener of the National Public Transport Coalition.Instead of NCAP, the groups urged government to conduct a transport summit to dialogue with the different sectors consisting the transport industry.Earlier today, June 2 Monday, the groups held a rally and caravan from the University of the Philippines Diliman to the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority to firmly call for the suspension of the implementation of NCAP.
