FINALLY, the Supreme Court steps into the no-contact apprehension policy (NCAP) issue. Just wondering why it took so long for the opponents of the NCAP to elevate the matter to the high court. Actually, I was even expecting them to seek an injunction, a temporary restraining order (TRO) or a cease and desist order from the court to stop its implementation when they first filed their opposition to the NCAP. Thankfully, it is now included in their petition.

Anyway, the high tribunal has directed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and the five local government units (LGUs) in Metro Manila — Manila, Quezon City, Valenzuela, Parañaque and Muntinlupa — to comment on the petition filed by four transport groups against the alleged unconstitutionality of the NCAP.
