| December 30, 2000 | On this terrorist attack in Rizal Day, a policeman was killed when a gasoline station exploded in EDSA-Makati. On the same day, a bus plying on EDSA-Cubao exploded, killing one passenger. |
| September 28 to October 1, 2006 | Typhoon Milenyo, most notably the ones at the Ortigas Avenue junction in Mandaluyong. After a month, some of the billboards were put up again, while others were confiscated by the Metro Manila Development Authority. |
| November 30 to December 1, 2006 | The number of billboard related incidents caused by Typhoon Milenyo led the government to plan the retraction and removal of billboards from Monumento to the SM Mall of Asia, as a precaution to Super Typhoon Reming which was forecast to pass over Metro Manila, potentially causing more damage. However, the typhoon did not directly hit the metropolis, but due to strong rain showers, many of the billboards remained. |
| April 2 to 10, 2007 | The billboard advertisements beside the Manila MRT were reported to have black paint thrown at them. On April 9, 2007, the MMDA removed the ads that were affected by the black paint. The government then planned to initiate a campaign to apprehend those who vandalized the billboards by means of advertising the offenses, and posted the advertisements from North Avenue, Quezon City to Taft Avenue in Pasay. It was discovered later on that it was a criminal youth gang that was responsible for the billboard vandalisms. |
