Gray-Clad Skyway Officers - are they overstepping their authority?

[praetor91313]

This morning there was again a gridlock on both ends of the Sucat and Bicutan interchanges.

I was going towards the bicutan end of the service road and there was this gray-clad PNCC officer on his motorbike (the huge one with blinkers and sirens) going the opposite end who, while trying to negotiate the center of the road, kept sounding his siren so he can pass through. I had to move really close to the gutter on my right side just so he won't sideswipe my car.

I though: what an a$$. Is traffic considered an emergency enough to use his blinkers and siren? Why was he in a hurry anyway? He'll just experience the same thing on the other end: heavy traffic.

I recall one incident which happened last year: again, there was heavy traffic at bicutan and when I at last was able to reach the end of the service road and was just waiting for a go signal so I can turn left to Dona Soledad, there was this this gray-clad officer near me so I told him, "Boss, grabe ang haba ng traffic sa likod." I wanted him to be aware of this fact so he'll know which roads to prioritize. He (wearing his helmet with aviator shades) stared at me then said, "Gusto mo ikaw dito?" I was surprised at his answer that I wasn't able to think up a good retort and the guard doubling as a traffic enforcer signalled to me that I can make a quick left so I just shook my head.

Are these gray-clad enforcers classified as police enforcers? Where can we report erring officers?

I think they are deputized.

karamihan naman kasi sa mga yan mga tambay lang na binigyan ng trabaho. Since hindi nakapag-aral, mahina mga ulo.

^^^ Iyan ang masaklap. Worse, they have power over our roads (time, resources and money)....

Eto din ba yung mga nag tatraffic sa may Sucat Interchange? Yung naka gray? Pag nag tatraffic kasi sila dun eh lalong nagkaka traffic. Pag wala sila wala naman traffic

If they're managing the traffic at the Sucat Interchange,- they do not impose on keeping the intersections open... For example, those who are making a left turn (actually a Uturn) on Sucat Road going back to BF will have to go down an alley and climb back to Sucat Road. That small intersection was almost always blocked by those vehicles going towards SLEX(northbound and southbound), so you have to "jostle" your way across with the jeepneys, carts, bikes and pedestrians....

You ask there name first and madali na magreklamo. Magugulat ang mga yan pagtinanong mo pangalan nila.

Kung ayaw ibigay pwede mo naman kunin plate number nang motor nila.

Sigurado matatakot yun.
