The penalties escalate from a fine of Php 1,000 for a first offense to Php 5,000 for a third offense, which also requires attendance at a seminar on ozone layer protection. A third offense within a year of the first results in a one-year suspension of vehicle registration, while a fourth offense leads to cancellation of the vehicle's registration.
