The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) has approved the proposal to suspend the collection of toll fees on the Manila-Cavite Expressway (Cavitex). The 30-day toll holiday begins on July 1, 2024, and applies to all vehicle classes using the expressway.
The Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA), which operates the toll road via a joint venture with Cavitex Infrastructure Corporation (CIC), initiated the toll-fee suspension. It was then announced by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. during the inauguration of the Cavitex C5 Link Sucat Interchange on June 21, with the caveat that the TRB had to approve the measure before it could be implemented.

The TRB issued a Board resolution to formally approve the proposal on June 27.
“We will fully implement a 30-day toll holiday in all exits of [Cavitex] for all vehicle classes, supporting the decision of the TRB,” said Raul Ignacio, president and general of CIC. “This will help our motorists with the rising cost of fuel and inflation.”
Currently, Class 1 vehicles using Cavitex pay P35 for the Seaside-Zapote section, and P73 for the Zapote-Kawit segment. For Class 2 vehicles, the respective toll fees are P70 and P146, while Class 3 vehicles pay P104 and P219, respectively.
The newly opened Cavitex C5 Link Sucat Interchange, meanwhile, is free to use for a limited period. The 1.9km section connects Cavitex to Sucat Road; here’s a full guide to its access points.
