Metro Manila
The capital sets its own traffic fines, under its own charter, through its own authority and seventeen local governments. Not one primary peso figure from any of them was obtainable in this pass — so this site prints none, and this page explains the shape of what is missing rather than guessing at its size.
Two authorities
The national schedule is not the only schedule
The capital's own authority holds a charter power to fix, impose and collect traffic fines for the cities and municipalities inside it — and seventeen local governments legislate for themselves besides.
That power is stated in the authority’s own 1995 charter, and it is expressly stated to operate notwithstanding the national Traffic Code. It is also bounded: the Supreme Court has held that the charter grants no police power and that the authority’s functions are administrative in nature.
What exists in practice is a harmonisation template issued by the authority and 17 separate local ordinances, each legislated independently. Four of those local governments were confirmed by name as having adopted something — Quezon City (SP-3172 S-2023), Muntinlupa (2023-055), Taguig, Mandaluyong (917 S-2023) — and for none of them was the ordinance text itself obtainable.
Install and administer a single ticketing system, fix, impose and collect fines and penalties for all kinds of violations of traffic rules and regulations, whether moving or non-moving in nature, and confiscate and suspend or revoke drivers' licenses in the enforcement of such traffic laws and regulations, the provisions of RA 4136 and PD 1605 to the contrary notwithstanding.RA 7924 (MMDA Charter, 1995), §5(f)
The finding
Unmeasured, not absent — and the difference matters
The law states amounts. This site does not hold them. Those are two different sentences, and only one of them is true here.
No Metro Manila peso figure — unmeasured, not absent
The capital's own authority holds a charter power to fix, impose and collect traffic fines for the cities and municipalities inside Metro Manila, and seventeen local governments legislate for themselves besides. Not one primary peso figure from the authority's own resolution or from any of those ordinances was obtainable in this pass. That makes the Metro Manila figures unmeasured, which is a different thing from absent — the law states amounts; this site does not hold them, and prints none.
What this means for you
A national figure is not a Metro Manila figure
UNRESOLVED
A 2013 statute may have repealed the very power everyone cites
The 2013 Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Act carries a repealing clause, and that clause names three provisions. The second of them is the exact subparagraph of the capital authority's 1995 charter that everyone — including this site's own sources — cites as its live power to run a single ticketing system and to fix, impose and collect traffic fines. Two readings are available and this corpus settles neither. It may be a drafting error, a narrow statute about drink driving reaching by mistake for an unrelated general grant. It may be a deliberate, oddly-placed narrowing of that authority's power to sanction licences. What is observable is that the authority has since proceeded as though the power still exists, and that is practice rather than a ruling. This site states both readings and stops there.
The camera-enforcement posture that sits on top of all this — currently unrestrained and never affirmatively validated — is on the no-contact apprehension page, which is secondary-sourced throughout and says so.
