UPDATED: Number Coding on Commerce Ave. to formally start this March 13
“There will be no window hours.” (Edited this statement as there now seems to be exemptions. – Ed)
This was the pronouncement of Barangay Ayala Alabang chairman Ruben Baes in a conversation with Alabang Bulletin today as he gave updates on the controversial Number Coding along Commerce Ave.
The update was a reply to numerous inquiries from motorists regularly plying the busy road.
Baes though reiterated that the Number Coding is still on an experimental basis at present and that barangay personnel stationed along the highway would only be giving advisories or warnings.
“Number coding on Commerce Ave. will be fully implemented on March 13, 2017,” he added this week.
Reposting details of the ordinance from one of our early articles below:
Also called “An Ordinance Providing for Vehicle Volume Reduction Along Commerce Ave. Within the Territorial Jurisdiction of Barangay Ayala Alabang, the provision was borne out of the observations that “Commerce Avenue at all times of the day are choked in vehicular traffic with barely-moving vehicles” and the “need to regulate traffic in said avenue to ease flow,” according to the ordinance.

As stated before, the Experimental Number Coding will be implemented from 7am up to 7pm from Monday to Friday — no coding on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
“Residents, schools and other providers entering/exiting the villages will be tolerated, including employees of Alabang Town Center, Madrigal Business Park and Molito,” explained Baes.
Barangay Ayala Alabang jurisdiction along Commerce Ave. is from the barangay marker (after Hyundai from Filinvest) until Daang Hari Road.
The ordinance also called for any motor vehicle not to park much more double park along Commerce Ave.
The following penalties were also drawn up:
First offense – P500
Second offense – P750
Third and succeeding offenses – P1,000
No confiscation of licenses will occur, mentioned Baes, and he said failure to pay the fine will result in a case filed in court.
Again, we will update everyone on new developments and when the trial stage is over and when the real implementation begins.
“Residents, schools and other providers entering/exiting the villages will be tolerated, including employees of Alabang Town Center, Madrigal Business Park and Molito,” explained Baes.”
Wait so does this mean I can still ply the road on coding days if our office is in Madrigal Business Park? If I’m apprehended I can show my company ID and such for proof?
Yes, so please always have your company ID on hand.
ok thanks hopefully this has been passed on to the on-duty traffic enforcers there when this is implemented
May our driver ply through as well after I am dropped off in our Madrigal office? He will use the same route in going back home. I am coding on Tuesdays.
Can i still enter alabang hills subdivision? I will come from daanghari and commerce ave entering alabang hills where san beda located
Crossing is allowed but not too far. Try Acacia Ave. instead or Madrigal then enter the side street to Alabang Hills.
If i cross alabang zapote road going to alabang hills where san beda is, will i’ll be caught?
Crossing along Alabang-Zapote Road is allowed
What about those not working in ATC, Madrigal and Molito? Health workers going to Ospital ng Muntinlupa from Las Pinas in particular? So they are not “tolerated” since their workplace is not within these areas considering the relatively short distance?
We are afraid so. But please still have your ID’s on hand. Enforcer or Barangay personnel might “tolerate”.
Will the Barangay personnel honor the MMDA exemption certificates to be issued to health professionals?
Not sure but most probably.
Are students of San Beda College Alabang( located inside Alabang Hills Village) also exempt from this coding? Thank you very much!
Students from San Beda Alabang are not exempted from this, according to the ordinance.
Hi! I would like to clarify if the color coding scheme is now implemented in Muntinlupa or just along Commerce Ave?
Just along Commerce Ave.
So if i am going to alabang town center from slex, i will be caught?

Hi, just want to make sure that the number coding will be implemented from 7am to 7pm only?
According to the barangay ordinance, yes.
Dear Sirs?
If I cross alabang zapote road will I violate the coding scheme?
Thank you
We heard MMDA say that crossing is allowed.
My company is located in 2107 Prime St., Madrigal Business Park, Ayala Alabang, Muntinlupa and I have an ID to prove it. Does that include me in the tolerable private vehicles passing through Commerce? I was wondering lang kasi I’m in the other side of Madrigal Business Park. Baka magtaka yung mga enforcers kung bakit ako nasa commerce.
We are not sure about but you can ask barangay traffic enforcers manning commerce. They will just warn you if you’re a first offender anyway.
When is the real implementation? I passed by commerce this morning and they are already issuing tickets from brgy.ayala….
It started March 13.
How about employees from Northgate Cyberzone?
not mentioned by the barangay, sorry, but please confirm with the barangay personnel manning the area.
