During a press conference on Saturday morning, Estrada said the lifting of the truck ban is effective 12 noon today, pursuant to Executive Order No. 67.
Estrada said the city decided to lift the truck ban to give the national government the free hand to address congestion in the ports.
"We understand that the national government is confident that it can solve the problem of the port congestion within the few months in time for the holiday season," he told reporters.
The truck ban in Manila has been blamed by some sectors for the port congestion and the slowdown of logistic process in Philippines.
It was good news that Manila Local Government was lifting its truck ban, and the Confederation of Truckers Association of the Philippines was so delightful with this latest update.
Group’s director Mr. Alberto Suansing, said that they are hoping that with this latest update it will ensure a smooth traffic flow.
With this move, port congestion will ease and dramatically help to decrease the problems with port congestion.
