MANILA, Philippines — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) lifted yesterday the number coding scheme for the Christmas and New Year holidays. The agency also lifted the number coding for private cars beginning Dec. 24 to Jan. 2. The announcement brought confusion to the public after MMDA general manager Jojo Garcia said the agency only suspended the number coding scheme for provincial buses. The cities of Makati and Las Piñas have not yet issued announcements on the suspension of their own number coding schemes for the holidays. Garcia said the travel speed along the busiest highway in the metropolis is expected to slow down to 12 kph today.
