MMDA launches website for traffic violators caught through NCAP

The MMDA’s “May Huli Ka” website portal

MANILA, Philippines — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Monday launched its website for traffic violators caught through the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP).

According to MMDA chair Don Artes, the “May Huli Ka” website will allow motorists to check if they have committed any traffic violations online.

“This is the way for you to find out if your vehicle has any violations,” Artes said in Filipino in a press conference.

The website can be accessed through phones, tablets, and computers: May Huli Ka.

Once on the website, motorists need to type their plate number or conduction number, along with their motor vehicle or MV File number.

The website will then immediately list a certain motorist’s violations upon clicking “Check.”

“The old May Huli Ka app just required you to type in the plate number, and it would show if there had been a violation… But the problem is, it violated data privacy laws,” Artes said.

“So now, the MV file number is required — and that information is with the vehicle owner,” he added.

Artes then reminded users to ensure that their license plate and MV file are typed correctly when using the website as errors might show results such as “No Record Found.”

Artes also clarified that having a result of “No Record Found” would not necessarily mean that a motorist had no other violations, as the website would only show violations under NCAP.

Enhancements, mobile app coming soon

Meanwhile, Artes in the same press conference announced that the MMDA would implement future enhancements to its May Huli Ka website, including the launch of a mobile application.

According to Artes, once the mobile app has been launched, motorists will be able to create their own accounts, check their violations directly on the app, and even view the exact video of their violation.

Fleet management will also be available on the app, particularly for public utility vehicle (PUV) operators who may register multiple vehicles under a single account.

App users will also be allowed to contest their violations directly on the app.

While no exact date has been set for the app’s release, Artes said the public can expect its launch within one or two months.

He added that real-time sms and email notifications will also be launched together with the app. /atm
