    The order, issued by Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade, was made as supplemental rules to the DO 2007-38 (which is commonly known as “Rules and Regulations Governing the Use of Limited Access Facilities”).

    DO 2021-006 Based on the order, the three-wheeled motorcycles that have 600cc engines are allowed to use the expressways “subject to terms and conditions as provided for under DO 2007-38.”
