BEGINNING today, armed Philippine National Police-Highway Patrol Group (PNP-HPG) personnel will implement stricter traffic rules along EDSA as well as a new scheme that will ban provincial buses from the major thoroughfare from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. HPG traffic enforcers, however, will only conduct video documentations of all traffic violations since they are only allowed to maintain a “no-contact apprehension” policy, Malacañang said on Sunday.

In an interview over state-run Radyo ng Bayan, Presidential Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said HPG policemen will be manning traffic early in the morning, supported by personnel from the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and other concerned agencies.
