Love Bus to return as free service to public, says Marcos
'Ngayon, hindi lang natin ibabalik ang Love Bus, ito ay gagawin pa nating libre. Pauna pa lamang, pilot testing pa lamang 'yung sa Davao at sa Cebu. Susundan pa ito sa iba pang lugar sa Visayas at Mindanao,'' President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. said during his SONA on July 28, 2025. President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. on Monday announced that the iconic Love Bus would make a comeback. Marcos announced during his fourth State of the Nation Address, saying that this service will be free for commuters. In 2023, the said public transport was reintroduced in the City of Makati. ''Magtatanong ako sa iba sa inyo... Naalala ba ninyo 'yung tinatawag 'Love Bus'? Ito 'yung popular na pampublikong bus sa Metro Manila na sinimulan noong 1970s,'' Marcos said. ''Ngayon, hindi lang natin ibabalik ang Love Bus, ito ay gagawin pa nating libre. Pauna pa lamang, pilot testing pa lamang 'yung sa Davao at sa Cebu. Susundan pa ito sa iba pang lugar sa Visayas at Mindanao,'' he added. To recall, the Love Bus was introduced in several Metro Manila routes in the 1970s and were the only airconditioned buses during that time. It stopped operating after several years as it was considered no longer profitable. — RF, GMA Integrated News

MMDA launches SMS, email notifications for NCAP violations
Motorists will now receive real-time short message service (SMS) and email notifications if they committed violations under the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP), the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said Monday. "A key feature of this initiative is that vehicle owners will receive notification via SMS even without an internet connection so that immediate action may be taken as soon as they are notified and for their convenience," MMDA chairperson Romando Artes was quoted in a statement as saying during the launch. The MMDA noted that motorists will receive the notification through SMS and email when the violation has been verified. For SMS, the sender is 'MMDA_NCAP' and it does not use a cell phone number, the MMDA said. On the other hand, the official sender in email is 'no-reply@ 'The official MMDA text and email notifications do not include any payment links to prevent scams. Both the SMS and email notifications are sent from no-reply senders,' the MMDA said. According to the MMDA, the vehicle owners' contact numbers and email addresses come from the records registered under the Land Transportation Office 's Land Transportation Management System. Artes urged the vehicle owners to update their records in the LTO LTMS to ensure they receive notifications. As the website shows only traffic violations under NCAP, the MMDA noted that a result of 'No Record Found' status does not necessarily indicate the absence of traffic violations. Meanwhile, Artes reminded the public to be cautious of any suspicious messages containing links and check the sender's information to avoid potential scams. The real-time SMS and email notifications for the violations under NCAP was done in partnership with a telecommunications company and the LTO, according to the MMDA. In June, the MMDA also launched 'May Huli Ka 2.0,' a web-based platform that enables vehicle owners to conveniently check for traffic violations. NCAP is a policy that uses closed-circuit television, digital cameras and/or other gadgets or technology to capture videos and images to apprehend vehicles violating traffic laws, instead of traffic enforcers on the ground. Under the policy, violators can pay fines later online or at the MMDA office. They can also contest their supposed violations caught under NCAP. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News
