THE Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) announced the suspension of the Expanded Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program, or number coding scheme, on Friday, June 12, in observance of Philippine Independence Day.
The suspension of the scheme, it added, is automatic during regular holidays and special nonworking holidays.
Its advisory includes a reminder that the Galaxy Manila Marathon will take place at 11:30 p.m. June 12. It is a 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 reminded drivers to observe road safety and comply with traffic rules while traveling. JAMES DANIEL DANIO
