Up to 15 motorcycles were confiscated for using modified mufflers or “bora-bora” in Davao City.

Members of the Davao City Transport and Traffic Management Office (CTTMO) seized the motorcycles in Barangay Matina evening on Monday, November 11, 2024.

In an interview with GMA Super Radyo Davao, CTTMO Head, Dionesio Abude, said the use of modified mufflers on all vehicles violates the Traffic Code of the Philippines (RA 4136) and city ordinance because of the disturbance it causes.

Based on the ordinance, the owner of the motorcycle seized will be made to pay a fine and has to remove and change the modified muffler before the vehicle will be released.

Authorities warned motorists to refrain from using modified mufflers to avoid penalties.
