MMDA Resolution No. 10-13 establishes rules for special events in Metro Manila, requiring organizers to obtain a Roadway Private Utilization Permit (RPUP), submit a Traffic Management Plan (TMP), and deposit a cash bond, with violation leading to permit revocation.

Questions (MMDA Resolution NO. 13-10)

Republic Act (RA) 7924, specifically Section 6(d), which authorizes the Metro Manila Council to promulgate rules and regulations and to prescribe and collect service and regulatory fees and impose/collect fines and penalties.

Fun runs, motorcades, filmings, and other special events that utilize roads in Metro Manila.

A Roadway Private Utilization Permit (RPUP) from the MMDA.

The resolution states the RPUP does not supplant other permits required from the relevant Local Government Units (LGUs) under existing laws or local ordinances; organizers must still secure those LGU permits.

At least fourteen (14) days prior to the proposed event.

The application must state: (1) the name of the requesting party, (2) the subject of the request, (3) the validity period, and (4) the time and location of the event.

No. The resolution expressly provides that issuance of the RPUP does not exempt the requesting party from strictly observing traffic rules and regulations.

The period and time of the event granted under the RPUP must be strictly observed.

It is required when the proposed event is within MMDA jurisdiction, e.g., within major thoroughfares. It is also required even if held on secondary roads if it will affect traffic on any major thoroughfares.

One thousand pesos (₱1,000) for every lane and kilometer affected by the event, but not less than five thousand pesos (₱5,000).

It covers all reasonable expenses and costs for covering the event; any balance is refunded ten (10) days after the event.

Yes. The authority is not precluded from collecting the actual amount incurred in excess of the deposited cash bond.

Violation of any provision set forth in the RPUP ipso facto (automatically) revokes the RPUP.

Subject to traffic and security conditions, MMDA may revoke the permit issued without prior notice.

If any part/section/provision is declared invalid or unconstitutional, the remaining unaffected parts continue to be enforced and effective.

After fifteen (15) days following its publication in at least two (2) newspapers of general circulation.
