The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) suspended the implementation of the Expanded Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP) or number coding scheme on June 12, 2026, in observance of Philippine Independence Day.
The MMDA said vehicles covered by the number coding scheme would be allowed to travel in Metro Manila as the suspension automatically applied during regular holidays and special non-working holidays.
The agency advised motorists to plan their long weekend activities ahead of time to avoid possible travel delays.
The MMDA also reminded motorists that the Galaxy Manila Marathon would take place at 11:30 p.m. of the same day, with the 42-kilometer race starting at SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City and ending at SM City North Edsa in Quezon City.
A stop-and-go scheme will be implemented for Edsa buses operating between PITX and SM Mall of Asia during the marathon.
Motorists were advised to use alternate routes and plan their trips accordingly.
The MMDA also reminded drivers to observe road safety and comply with traffic rules while traveling.
