MANILA, Philippines — The Supreme Court has issued an order temporarily stopping the implementation of the No Contact Apprehension Policy and set the two petitions questioning the program’s legality for oral debates.

 

The SC Public Information Office said in a statement that the court in Tuesday’s en banc session issued a temporary restraining order, “effective immediately and until further orders from the Court, enjoining all respondents from implementation of the [NCAP].”

 

“The court also said that any apprehensions through NCAP programs and ordinances related thereto shall be prohibited until further orders from the Court,”  it added.
