MANILA, Philippines — The Metro Manila Development Authority is looking at implementing the number coding scheme in the capital region once more as traffic continues to rise heading into the Christmas season. 

 

Speaking in an interview aired over CNN Philippines' New Day, MMDA Director Noemie Recio said that the scheme could be implemented by late November or early December pending the approval of the Metro Manila Council. 

 

"The pre-pandemic volume is 405,000. We are expecting by this Christmas season, it will be nearing 405,000 or over 405,000 a day," she said.
