MPTC REACTIVATES ‘BIYAHENG ARANGKADA’

admin October 28, 2025

METRO Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC) has reactivated its “Biyaheng Arangkada” Motorists Assistance Program to ensure safe and convenient travel during the Undas season.

With an expected surge in traffic across NLEX, SCTEX, NLEX Connector, CALAX, CAVITEX, and CCLEX, MPTC is intensifying operations through increased personnel deployment, 24/7 traffic monitoring, and quick-response teams.

Free towing for Class 1 and Class 1M (for CCLEX) vehicles to the nearest exit will be available from 6 a.m. of October 30 to 6 a.m. of November 3 to assist motorists, while roadworks will be suspended from October 29 to November 3, except for emergency repairs, to keep traffic flowing smoothly.

To reduce bottlenecks, NLEX Corporation has regraded shoulder lanes in key areas to support counterflow operations.

Motorists are advised to plan their trips ahead and avoid peak hours, particularly during the following periods:

Afternoon of October 29
Afternoon of October 30 to evening of October 31
Morning of November 1
Afternoon of November 2
Morning until noon of November 3

Around 2,000 traffic, toll, and emergency personnel will be on duty across MPTC expressways, in coordination with the PNP, LGUs, and key agencies.

At CAVITEX, “Biyaheng Arangkada” will be implemented with PEA Tollway Corporation, a subsidiary of the Philippine Reclamation Authority.

Motorists can use the MPT DriveHub app for real-time traffic updates, RFID reloading, and assistance. As part of the MVP Group’s efforts, Maynilad will provide free bottled water, while Smart Communications will offer free Wi-Fi and charging stations in select areas.

MPTC encouraged motorists to ensure their vehicles are in good condition and RFID accounts are sufficiently loaded before traveling.

MPTC is the tollways infrastructure unit of the Manuel Pangilinan-led Metro Pacific Investments Corporation.
