The bill actually allows you to use your phone when stopped.

The measure does not apply to drivers whose vehicles are not in motion or have pulled over to the side of the road. Emergency calls are exempted under the bill.
By stopped, it doesn't mean a temporary halt such as at a stoplight or during stop-and-go traffic. But if for example you pull over to set up Waze, that's fine.

Speaking of Waze, handsfree use of phones are allowed as long as they don't interfere with the driver's line of sight.

The bill also states that there should be an information campaign upon its effectivity, to be done by the LTO, DOTC, DepEd, PNP, and DILG. So far all we have are social media posts, not even from these official agencies.
