MANILA, Philippines — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority said it suspended its own no-contact apprehension policy after the Supreme Court issued a temporary restraining order against the NCAPs implemented by a number of local government units.

 

This comes after the Supreme Court issued a stop order on the implementation of the NCAPs in the wake of petitions filed against the controversial program which has been hit by transport groups and motorists.
