CAMP Aguinaldo will soon open its two gates to civilian motorists with the allowed window hours only to pass through to help ease off traffic on Edsa, camp commander Brig. Gen. Allan Martin said on Monday.
The camp, as an alternate route, had been requested by the Metro Manila Development Authority.
Martin said they would be charging P500 per “route sticker” issued to both private and public vehicles for one year only.
The expiration of the sticker is on Dec. 31, 2017.
The ingress and egress are Gate 3 along Edsa and Gate 6 along Bonifacio Avenue.
Martin clarified the route sticker was different from the regular decal issued by the camp.
“Decal can pass through Gate 1 and they can go [to places allowed inside the] camp. The [route sticker] will be just a route from Gate 6 to Gate 3, and vice versa,” he said.
Martin said motorists could pass through inside the camp from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. during Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
For Tuesdays and Fridays, the window hours are 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Martin said the General Headquarters, Headquarters Support Command had been accepting and processing applications for stickers.
He said requirements were the vehicle’s OR/CR, identification card and/or government ID, and original copy of clearance from the National Bureau of Investigation.
Martin said applicants would also undergo a brief interview and a background check was a must before their sticker would be released.
“Stickers will be available on Dec. 7,” he said.
Meanwhile, Martin has reminded motorists of the strict implementation of traffic rules and regulations while passing though inside the camp.
“[We] have to safeguard the security of the camp. Although we would help address the traffic, we also cannot sacrifice the camp security,” he said.
