Kapuso Comedy Queen Aiai Delas Alas took to social media to express her support for the implementation of the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) on major roads in Metro Manila, stressing that discipline is a responsibility shared by all Filipinos—not just the poor.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, May 27, Delas Alas shared a photo of what she claimed was the positive effect of NCAP on Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City. She praised the policy and said it was high time for Filipinos, especially motorists, to embrace discipline on the road.
“Nakakatuwa na tayong mga Pilipino ay natututo na ng disiplina,” she wrote.
According to the actress, one of the reasons she learned to drive in the United States was due to the chaotic traffic conditions in the Philippines.
“Tama ang nakaisip nito. Isa ’to sa dahilan na simulang matutong mag-drive sa Amerika. Nahihirapan na ’ko mag-drive dito dahil nga biglang sumusulpot kanan, kaliwa ang mga sasakyan at motor. At least ngayon susunod ka na sa lane, and ticket ang he-hello sa’yo… Wala nang paliwanag—bayad ka.”
She also urged netizens to stop mocking rule-abiding motorists, especially on platforms like TikTok.
“And sana sa TikTok, imbes na alaskahin ’nyo yung mga sumusunod, dapat nga matuwa kayo and encourage sila na sumusunod lalo.”
Delas Alas responded to a comment questioning why motorcyclists—often viewed as from lower-income backgrounds—were allegedly being targeted more by the policy.
“May isa pa kong nabasa sa comment na bakit mahihirap daw pinahihirapan mga motor… Maraming mayaman ang naka-motor, hello…”
“Jusko kuya, ano bang mentalidad ’yan? Ang disiplina hindi lang pang-mahirap—pang-kalahatan ’yan… Discipline isn’t just for the poor—it’s a responsibility for everyone.”
She ended her post with a hopeful message: “A truly great country is built when all its citizens uphold order, respect, and responsibility… Sa wakas, mukhang makaka-drive na ’ko ulit sa Pilipinas. Pero i-renew ko muna ang lisensya ko. Anyways, congrats sa nagpatupad nito.”
The NCAP, which uses surveillance cameras to automatically issue traffic violations without on-site enforcement, has received mixed reactions from the public—but for Delas Alas, it’s a step toward a more disciplined and orderly Philippines.
