    Is it true na for diesel engines, kailangan magpa-smoke emission test every 2 months? This is according to Victor Lopez of MAPSA. IS THIS TRUE???

    Kasi yung officemate ko, nahuli and was given this excuse last Monday afternoon.

    Every 2 months? Ok ah. Magkano ba yung test? Hehe, sabihin mo hindi ka umiiri ng pera, o kaya sagutin nila kamo.

    every 2 months, this is very unjust, ang alam ko P300 ang emission test. masyadong sobra naman yata yan. samantalang yung mga buses di nila hinuhuli

    Mga engot na MAPSA



    The traffic light at the intersection of Gil Puyat and Bautista in Makati isn’t working properly (the yellow and green lights are busted). Some motorists find themselves in the middle of the intersection when the red light comes on, catching drivers off guard. Next thing you know, a bunch of traffic enforcers come out of nowhere, pulling these cars to the side of the road and issuing tickets for running a red light.

    Years ago I made a U-turn at the corner of Pasay Road and Amorsolo. I was coming from Makati Cinema Square. There was no "No U Turn" sign in place. I was pulled over for the reason that my U turn may be a dangerous move for other motorists. A few weeks later, a tv program featured this anomaly of Mapsa on that very spot.

    generally, "if it is not prohibited by signage, it is allowed."
    "what the law does not prohibit, it allows."

    sad to say, we had to pay 1k because they told us that the vehicle involved failed the emission test (gee, I wonder why....).

    Ingat na lang kayo at areas in south E.way - Gil puyat intersection.

    Nakow, nadale rin ako sa lugar na yan. Pero naka-berde yung pumara sa akin. MAPSA di ba dilaw ang uniform nila? Plagay ko hindi lang sila sa diesel mainit, kahit sa gas fed engines ganun din.

    That was June. Dala ko yung Honda Civic namin, nang biglang parahin ako ng mga buwitre. Di ako bumaba.....sila ang lumapit. Sabi nila, mausok daw sasakyan ko. (Pero hindi naman...) Hinihingi nila yung result ng emmission test ko. Eh, January yung rehistro/emmission test ko, pero pasado. Nung pinakita ko, sabi ba naman, dapat daw kada 3 months, magpa-emission test ako. Nakipagtalo ako.

    Nang biglang may dumaan na PUJ, ang itim ng usok! Sabi ko, "O, bakit yun, di mo pinara, mas maitim ang usok nun kesa sa kotse ko!" Napahiya ata, pinatuloy na lang ako, sabay sabi "Sige, palulusutin kita ngayon.....ipa-emission test mo ulit yan!"

    He-he! "Nek-nek mo!" sabay alis.

    $#*%%^ di ko alam na pati gasolina, pagtritripan din nila...


    We tried to ask them kung san galing yung kailangan every 2 months yung emission test, wala sila ma-produce na documentation.

    Kanino ba namin puwede sabihin to?

    Sa Makati Republic of Binay oo. Yung dalawang office vehicle namin dun sa Makati (Prado - gas at 2nd gen Pajero - diesel) eh pinapa-emission test lagi every two months. Pero, yung sa Manila office namin na vehicles hinde naman.

    Nahuli na yung company driver namin minsan (dala yung Prado) dyan sa G. Puyat mga 4-5 months ago. Hinahanapan ng emission test na bago even if two months and two weeks or so pa lang yung latest emission test dahil sa rehistro. Thing is, wala pang three years old yung Prado na yun.

    Sabi nung company driver namin eh saksaaaakan daw ng kulit nung mga MAPSA. Nahimasmasan lang ata nung nakitang blue-plate yung Prado. Pinaalis din sya.

    Para wala ng aberya ayun - every two months eh emission test yung dalawang sasakyan. Gastos.

    Nicolodeon, yung Makati office na nagpapa-emission ng sasakyan every 2 months, ginagawa nila kasi confirmed nilang may requirement nga na ganito sa Makati, o ginagawa na lang nila para maka-iwas abala sa alam na nilang racket ng MAPSA?

MAPSA does it again...
