WHEREAS, in accordance with pertinent provisions and Implementing Rules and Regulations of republic Act 4136, otherwise known as the Land Transportation Act of the Philippines, the term "cargo trucks" refers to vehicles having a gross capacity weight of over 4,500 kilograms which differs from the definition under the MMDA Truck Ban Regulations which provide that cargo trucks are vehicles having a gross capacity weight of over 4,000 kilograms;
