Independent Metro Manila & Makati guide

City & source guide

The road matters as much as the plate.

Two rule sets are included in this guide. A city label is a starting point; it does not establish the applicable rule for every road within its boundaries.

Announcement checks

What was checked, and what could not be read

Source coverage is partial. Checks are scheduled every four hours. Readable sources can still omit announcements. These checks do not apply new suspensions to the checker automatically.

Loading latest source status. Saved observations appear below.

  • PNA government reporting on MMDA

    Readable · Attempted

    Read PNA's public search index (1256 records) and the full pages of 7 MMDA/coding matches; 0 need review. PNA is government reporting, not a direct MMDA bulletin. The title/excerpt filter and publisher index can omit notices; no match is not proof of no suspension.

  • Pasay official PIO advisories and MMDA reposts

    Readable · Attempted

    Read 50 official PIO records with full rendered content; 0 need review. This city republishes some MMDA notices. A Pasay-only notice does not establish an MMDA-wide or Makati exception. Only the 50 most recently modified records are covered; externally hosted image bytes and social-only notices are not checked.

  • Makati official pinned notices

    Readable · Attempted

    Read the city's publicly advertised pinned-event endpoint: 0 records, 0 need review. An empty list means this endpoint returned no pinned records, not that no announcement exists. Unpinned events are checked separately; social-only notices remain unchecked.

  • PNA government holiday and declaration reporting

    Readable · Attempted

    Read PNA's public search index (1256 records) and the full pages of 1 holiday/declaration matches; 0 need review. PNA is government reporting, not an issuing authority. The title/excerpt filter and publisher index can omit notices; no match is not proof of no suspension. Local declarations may also match; no report becomes a checker holiday automatically.

  • MARINA dated NCR holiday corroboration

    Readable · Attempted

    The recorded document matches its reviewed fingerprint. Later notices elsewhere remain unchecked. This dated MARINA page corroborates the NCR holiday citation only, not coding or later proclamations. Its linked Facebook picture is not collected; this check covers page text and link/image attributes only.

Official declarations

Recorded Philippines holidays, 2026–2027

Reviewed 10 November 2026. National declarations and the NCR-only 16–18 November 2026 holidays are listed below. Both supported rule areas are in NCR. Other local holidays and later amendments are not a complete live feed. Holidays stay on their declared dates; weekend holidays are not automatically moved to Monday.

The reviewed 2027 proclamation leaves Eid’l Fitr and Eid’l Adha for separate declarations. Their dates are pending in this calendar. A special working day does not itself lift coding.

The holiday declaration establishes the date and area. The MMDA holiday policy and Makati city guide establish how the selected coding scheme treats non-working holidays.

A narrower answer is useful

Why we don’t mark
whole cities “coding-free.”

A city may have local-road rules, while a road through it falls under another authority. This guide does not maintain a verified road-boundary map, so it does not promise that every street in Taguig, Pasay or another city is unrestricted.

If your trip crosses an uncertain boundary, consult the appropriate city traffic office. The checker covers two selected rule sets; Baguio, other provinces, truck restrictions and route planning are outside its scope.

Date-specific evidence

Recorded suspension notices

A past notice does not become
today’s announcement.

MMDA number coding suspended for 2 January 2026

MMDA only · 00:00–23:59 Philippine time · Exact date only. No automatic transfer to the other rule area.

Read the government announcement

MMDA Holy Week suspension from noon on 1 April 2026

MMDA only · 12:00–23:59 Philippine time · Exact date only. No automatic transfer to the other rule area.

Read the government announcement

MMDA number coding suspended for 2 November 2026

MMDA only · 00:00–23:59 Philippine time · Exact date only. No automatic transfer to the other rule area.

Read the government announcement

This recorded-notice set is separate from the holiday calendar above. Absence from this list never means no suspension exists. A partial-day notice lifts only its stated period.

Editorial approach

Every answer has
a scope and a source.

We identify city ordinances and government announcements as primary sources, and news coverage as reporting. Each source note states the claim it supports. Reviewing an older article today does not make it a new government order.

We record the authority, effective date and time range of a suspension. The checker only applies each notice only to its exact jurisdiction, date and period. Listed non-working holidays use the declaration plus the selected authority’s holiday policy. Missing or later notices remain unchecked, rather than being treated as travel clearance.

The final plate digit is processed in your browser and is not transmitted or stored. Only a chosen light/dark preference may be stored locally. Source status is retrieved separately without your checker entries. Read our privacy policy and editorial and corrections approach.

Where these answers come from
