MMDA: Complaints Proforma

**philander** · February 17th, 2005 04:50 PM

Nahuli po ako... swerving daw, pero honestly wala po akong ginagawang violation, my friend with me in the car can attest to it... so I went to MMDA to complain.

Anyway, I am planning to file a compaint (contest), regarding the unfair and unjust confiscation and issuance of violation receipt.

However, sobrang daming process kung itutuloy ko, like I need to show certificate from bank that the car that I use is currenlty morgage, etc., will then attend hearings, and so on... etc.

I'm thinking na magbayad na lang ng fine. Kaso alam mo yung prinsipyo na hindi mo naman dapat pagbayaran pag di mo kasalanan or something.... nakakainis.

Pag magbabayad ka naman ng fine, grabe ang pila, mga nakapila mostly is mga PUJ/PUV drivers na hindi mo masikmura yung mga amoy (pasintabi na po, di naman sa nilalahat ko).

Anong stand nyo dito? Kakainin ang prinsipyo at pipila ng pagkahabahaba or itutuloy ang complaint pero mas masalimuot na proseso.

Any advice please. At magkano ba ang total fine pag swerving ang violation (though naka check yung reckless).

Thanks

If you have the time, then contest it.

Sa Kotse.com dati may nag-contest diba. At the end in favor of him ang decision.

Goodluck po.

Si theveed nga pala to, tamad na to logout sa BBPD computer hehe.

Nagcontest din ako, honestly principyo lang ang linalaban mo... Sobrang sayang oras mo to file it sa adjunction board sa guadalupe, expect to waste 2 days doing it, one to file, the other for hearing... Dahil sa P500 ticket ko dati na kinontest ko, one whole day just to line up sa filing, init init talaga, 300 nawala sa taxi fare ko plus oras. Sa actual hearing (usually several weeks after), another gastos sa oras at byahe.

Note: They'll extend your TVR until the hearing.

9/10 times, they'll just change it to the lowest penalty, which is P150, ganun din, gastos ka padin... If di naman libo libo yung penalty mo bayaran mo nalang... Hassle talaga dito.

Actually, nakakinis na, kanina lang galing ako dun ng dalawang beses, una wala akong dala except yung TVR, then sabi they need this and this and that, so balik ulit ako dala ko yung mga photocopy na binigay ng bank nuon pa, then sabi di daw yun they need certificates that the car is currenly in loan from the bank, heck kanina sabi nila photocopy lang... (pano kung nanghiram lang ako ng kotse?)... they need it daw to investigate kung may cases or pending cases yung vehicle, etc.

Grabe, nag file ako ng leave so more than 1K ang nawala sa pag file ko pa lang ng leave tapos may GAS at perwisyo pa, sobra sobra na...

So nagpunta ko ng bangko, naghingi ng certificates, so babalik ako bukas, kaso nga yung hassle...

Hay, I want to kill them all.....

Magkano po ulit yung fine para dun sa violation (swerving) na di ko naman ginawa...

sir philander, ewan ko lang but it seemed you miss out one thing sa pinagpilian mo..practicality & sanity..what sir blackmagic (or theveed) suggested is the most sane and practical way out of your otherwise simple puzzling dilemma..

nag contest na rin ako dati.

na huli ako ng counter flow along pasay road (kakalabas ko pa lang ng rapide park square - hindi ko alam yung one way na time scheme). pagdating ko sa makati city hall para i redeem, and sabi sa akin nung andun bayaran ko na lang daw yung P2000 tapos hindi na raw i suspend license ko (tutal nagbayad na naman ako). tapos bigla ulit sinabi na sayang yung P2000, i contest ko daw sa MMDA main office.

so ayun, pumunta ako sa MMDA (agahan mo) para mag file ng contest. nag set ng hearing two weeks later. tinatakan rin yun TVR ko ng extension. mga 1 hour ang inabot ko.

pagdating ng hearing date, biglang sumakit ang tyan ko dun. hehe. buti na lang naka raos rin bago ako tawagin. nung tawagin na kami, usap-usap, sabi ko hindi ako familiar sa lugar at madilim - so ayun dinowngrade yung charges to P150 na lang.

Shows you how inefficient / incompetent their system is... Save your sanity and money, in the end mas malaki magagastos mo pag contest mo pa yan...

Napanood ko sa isang show sa ANC, sabi ni BF meron silang parang hotline for motorists if ever may complaint sila sa paghuhuli ng MMDA officer, pupuntahan daw agad on the spot ung place kung san hinuhuli ka, (i dont know if ganyan talaga sinabi pero something like that). 136 Yung hotline. :D Just sharing

ako dati nahuli for swerving sa poveda area..eh ang liit naman talaga ng area to get to the greenhills flyover di ba? ayun nahuli ako, bayad 500php (thats for first offense ha?) sayang talaga ang oras mo and your money if you're going to contest it.
