A copy-and-pasted list of locations where closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras are allegedly situated for the implementation of the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) is circulating on Facebook (FB). This is fake, according to the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).
In a June 5 advisory, the MMDA said it has not officially released any list of NCAP camera locations.
Earlier, the MMDA said the re-implementation of the NCAP, which started on May 26, covers the circumferential and radial roads in Metro Manila that fall under the agency’s jurisdiction, including EDSA, Roxas Boulevard, Commonwealth Avenue, and McArthur Highway, among others.
First published on June 4, the earliest copy of the bogus list bore the caption that read:
“Head’s Up !!

Other posts also included alleged additional locations:
“ADDITIONAL PO :

The fake list of NCAP camera locations first surfaced two days after the MMDA warned motorists against intentionally covering, concealing or tampering with their license plates, also known as the “Takip Plaka” method, to evade getting flagged.
VERA Files Fact Check has previously debunked other bogus NCAP-related social media posts about a website that supposedly allows motorists to check online if they have violations under the NCAP.
FB posts containing the spurious list—including the one posted on June 4 by FB page Small Rider PH (created on Dec. 16, 2024)—collectively garnered 1,436 reactions, 1,183 comments, and 8,350 shares as of writing.
