AMENDING SECTIONS 2 OF MMC ORDINANCE NO. 78-04 AND MMDA ORDINANCE NO. 5, SERIES OF 1994 RE: TRUCK BAN

WHEREAS, in accordance with pertinent provisions and Implementing Rules and Regulations of republic Act 4136, otherwise known as the Land Transportation Act of the Philippines, the term "cargo trucks" refers to vehicles having a gross capacity weight of over 4,500 kilograms which differs from the definition under the MMDA Truck Ban Regulations which provide that cargo trucks are vehicles having a gross capacity weight of over 4,000 kilograms;

WHEREAS, there is a need to harmonize the discrepancy in the definition of cargo trucks to attain uniformity in the enforcement of pertinent traffic rules and regulations.

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Section 6 of RA 7924, this Regulation is hereby promulgated and adopted by the Metro Manila Council, that:

SECTION 1. Definition of Cargo Trucks — Sections 2 of MMC Ordinance No. 5, Series of 1994, is hereby amended, and as so amended, shall now read in full, as follows:
