Dapat minura nyo na lang yang MMDA na yan. Provincial plate ba sasakyan nyo? Anong violation ang na cite?

[emms1121]

And you don't pay directly sa MMDA, dapat sa LTO magbabayad at di sila pwede magconfiscate ng license. Malamang di pa kumakain mga bwaya na yan.

Fines should be paid at Metrobank. Jackpot yung enforcers ah.

Sir, nagoyo at nakotongan po yung wife nyo. Kung reckless driving ang violation nya (kung meron man), P1k lang yan for the first offense. Titiketan lang dapat misis nyo at hindi kukunin ang lisensya. Then, babayaran nya lang yung fine sa Metrobank branches. Kaya hindi nagbigay ng tiket kasi mapipilitan silang i-remit yung kinuha nilang pera (In the first place, they are not allowed to collect money from the motorist. Only issue tickets). Kaya siguro nakapanggoyo yung MMDA enforcers kasi sinabi ng wife nyo na taga-province sya. Inisip nilang, madaling lokohin to.

How sad to hear that another motorist became a victim of this menace in the street...This is a plain and simple modus operandi Why? because:

1. MMDA enforcer are not allowed to apprehend in groups.
2. MMDA should explain what violation and should be according to LTO violation.
3. Seminar because of violation! This violation is only for over speeding / beating the red light.
4. Primary task of MMDA is to assist trapik / accident happened in the area.

If there are some enforcer who we think try to harassed motorist, we can call the hotline and an MMDA investigating officer will be on the way. Don't let this menace in uniform victimized us...

MMDA targets bribe-offering motorists

MANILA, Philippines—Starting this week, motorists with traffic violations can no longer count on their money to get them out of trouble.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) announced Sunday that it would suspend the license of drivers caught bribing traffic enforcers.
MMDA Chair Bayani Fernando said in a statement that aside from prosecuting enforcers who accept bribes, the agency would also punish motorists who offer money just to escape being given a traffic violation receipt.
“Along with our campaign to cleanse our ranks of corrupt enforcers who extort money from motorists, we are also going after errant drivers who think that they can always evade the law by offering bribes to enforcers who catch them,” Fernando said in Filipino.
He warned that first-time offenders would have their driver’s license suspended for six months.
For second-time offenders, however, their driver’s license will be revoked.
MMDA General Manager Robert Nacianceno said the campaign against bribe-offering drivers would start this week.
“We received reports that the first offer comes from the one being apprehended. That’s the reality of it,” he told the Inquirer.
He noted that usually, when an erring motorist hands his license over to an enforcer, there are already bills of money tucked inside the case.
“They’re equally responsible. With this, our enforcers can seize their license. Remember, it’s a criminal offense to [offer a] bribe,” Nacianceno added.
At the same time, he reminded drivers not to use the calling cards of MMDA officials to get away with a violation.
