According to Senator Joseph Victor Ejercito, a “trial period” of the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) will last until the end of 2022. As a result, inconsistencies and glitches will be ironed out in the system.
The chairman of the Senate committee, Sen. Ejercito, said he is not against the implementation of NCAP. He wants to perfect the system first, so a trial period is necessary to allow it to be perfected.
“Being a former mayor, I understand that they want to improve everything in their city to have an order… but I’m hoping there will be a compromise,” he said.
It was also noted by Ejercito that among other problems with NCAP, one of the most important was that the fines assessed to some motorists, especially motorcycle couriers, are not affordable. Aside from that, he also stated that some situations, such as an emergency, need to be considered.
As a result of his comments, he expressed his hope that the local government units would consider a trial period for the implementation of the NCAP.

“I’m hoping that probably until the end of the year, trial period muna then try to remove the glitches, resolve the issues, the situations—consider situations, abnormal situations and then probably next year we can already implement this when everybody thinks that this is already acceptable and reasonable,” — JV Ejercito.
