Toll rates at the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and the Muntinlupa Cavite Expressway (MCX) are set to increase on November 3,  according to Toll Regulatory Board (TRB).

In a statement, TRB said it has approved the application of San Miguel Corp.  and of Ayala Corp. for provisional toll rate adjustments in the toll systems they operate, SLEX and MCX, respectively.

Last month, the TRB had authorized the collection of the provisional toll rate adjustments on SLEX pursuant to the petitions for periodic toll rate adjustments for 2012 and 2014.

With this, starting November 3, motorists travelling from Alabang to Calamba will pay an additional P10 for Class 1, P20 for Class 2 and P30 for Class 3.

Those travelling from Calamba to Sto. Tomas, Batangas will pay an additional P4, P6, P8 for Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3, respectively.

Meanwhile, TRB’s approval for MCX was pursuant to the periodic toll rate adjustments for 2018 and 2020 filed by Ayala.

The new toll rate adjustments could have been implemented as early as July 31, 2023 when TRB issued the Notice to Start Collection, but the new toll concessionaire of MCX, MCX Project Company  Inc., deferred the  implementation as a consideration to the tollway users/patrons.

With the inflationary situation and to minimize the impact to the tollway users, the TRB directed the toll operators to implement the provisional toll rate adjustments on a staggered basis, in two tranches, first this November and the second tranche next year.

“TRB directed that the provisional toll rate adjustments shall be implemented on a staggered basis to curb the existing inflationary situation and minimize the impact thereof to the tollway users” the toll regulator said.

The TRB also approved the toll fees adjustment at Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway  starting on October 17, pursuant to the application for the 2020 and 2022 which will be implemented in three tranches over a period of three years.
