Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong has ordered the conduct of voluntary emission testing of private and public utility vehicles in the Summer Capital by the Roadside Inspection Testing and Monitoring Team through the Clean Air Monitoring Committee. The mayor's Executive Order 70 said tests shall be done during regular working days for a fee of P100 to be paid at the City Treasurer's Office.'Voluntary emission testing shall be allowed two consecutive times. Should the vehicle fail on the second emission test, the voluntary testing fee of P100 shall be charged again to cover operational expenses such as thermal paper and the like,' the order stated. 'If the vehicle did not pass the vehicle emission standards, the Voluntary Vehicle Emission Certificate shall be cancelled to serve as a warning to the owner/driver. Items such as vehicle plates or driver's license will not be confiscated.'
