Do you think you’ve been wrongfully apprehended by an MMDA enforcer? You can now contest your violation easier as the agency just launched a way to do it online.
A couple of weeks ago, the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) launched a new online filing platform that will allow those who have been apprehended to conveniently contest their violations.
This sure is convenient, especially for those who have been apprehended but are residing in far-away locations or don’t have the time to start the process physically.
That said, today we’ll be detailing how you can contest an MMDA violation online. Let’s begin.

Fill it out by providing details such as your personal information, information about your vehicle, and details of the incident itself.
