NCAP violation checker website is fake

'The circulating link about 'May Violation Ba?' that claims you can check online if you were caught under the No Contact Apprehension Program is not official,' says the MMDA

Claim: A website shows how to check online if you were caught under the no contact apprehension policy (NCAP).

Rating: FALSE

Why we fact-checked this: The Facebook post bearing the link to the website has gained 32 reactions, 67 comments, and 347 shares, as of writing.

The post shows a screenshot from the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) website displaying its logo and a message that reads: “No record found. Congratulations, you have no violations recorded for [redacted text].”

The facts: The circulating link is fake.

“The circulating link about ‘May Violation Ba?’ that claims you can check online if you were caught under the No Contact Apprehension Program is not official,” MMDA said in a statement.

MMDA urged the public not to share the link and avoid using the website and encode plate numbers.

The MMDA said it is still working on its own website to provide better service and would inform the public next week about updates.

According to the MMDA, the notice of violation will be sent via mail. The MMDA also plans to notify violators through text messages. Within one to two weeks, the agency said it will launch a mobile app to alert drivers if they have committed a violation.

The MMDA reimplemented the NCAP on Monday, May 26, after the Supreme Court lifted the temporary restraining order on this measure.
