New SLEX toll rates effective January 1

The Toll Regulatory Board has approved a toll rate adjustment for SLEX and STAR Tollway effective January 1, 2026. This increase is intended to fund ongoing maintenance and infrastructure improvements across the expressway.

For the Alabang-Calamba stretch, rates are now P126, P253, and P379 for Classes 1, 2, and 3, respectively.

Meanwhile, the Calamba-Sto. Tomas section will be priced at P34, P68, and P102. 

Meanwhile, Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation said that tolls will be waived at NLEX, SCTEX, NLEX Connector, CALAX, and CAVITEX from Dec. 31, 10 p.m. to Jan. 1, 6 a.m. so motorists can "spend less time on the road and more time with their families."

Additionally, you no longer need to have multiple RFID accounts for different tollways with the newly introduced unified RFID system.

"Years of consultation and cooperation with the DOTr and the Toll Regulatory Board have finally led us to a unified system that responds to the real needs of our motorists," said President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. "And true to the spirit of public service, you work hand in hand, not because you needed to but because you wanted to make sure that the travel for all Filipinos is made easier. This is a true Filipino spirit—one of unity, bayanihan and pakikipagkapwa."
