Matteo gets traffic ticket, hails MMDA’s no-contact apprehension policy
MANILA, Philippines – Actor and model Matteo Guidicelli was not spared from Metropolitan Manila Development Authority’s (MMDA) no-contact apprehension policy.
But instead of complaining after receiving his citation from MMDA for violating the yellow lane policy, Guidicelli was impressed by the policy’s effectiveness.
“So today I got a mail from the MMDA. I opened it up, and guess what I saw,” the actor said in an Instagram story Tuesday before showing the citation to his followers.

“It’s kind of my driver’s fault, but I’m very impressed that I got a ticket right here from the MMDA because my van crossed the yellow line into the bus lane,” Guidicelli explained.
“I’m going to have to pay P650. I’m very, very impressed that the MMDA has this and everything is going digital and people can actually get caught and sent their ticket at home,” Guidicelli said.
“So this is really cool. Congratulations to the MMDA. This is really awesome,” he added.
MMDA’s no-contact apprehension policy utilizes closed-circuit television (CCTV) to capture videos and images in apprehending vehicles violating traffic laws, rules and regulations. / gsg
