February 17th, 2005 11:33 PM #11I think it was right for those who did not do anything wrong to contest, it is a matter of principle, if you have the time. I do disagree though for the person who got a lighter penalty because of his lack of knowledge in the local traffic laws. I dont know how besides "awa" should they downgrade the penalty.
Nothing personal though, just an honest observation where breaks are given to a lucky few while those who really need it have to pay more.

Hero: Yun nga point ko eh, to contest is just a matter or principle, it is not feasable, logical or convenient. If you get paid P10,000 a month sa trabaho mo and you have to lose 2 half-a-day to do this, you lost over 1000 bucks in your job + transpo. Hardly worth it, and the stress grr...

i guess u'll feel better if u prevail over them but at the expense of time and money? ok lng kng money but when u factor in the time wasted its just not worth it imo.

February 18th, 2005 05:00 PM #16okay, nagbayad na ako ng fine (Php 500.00 for swerving violation which 101% I did not commit)...
So pumila ako, dumating ako sa MMDA-Orense, ng mga 7:00Am this morning, grabe ang haba ng ng pila, siguro mga pang 300 ako, then inabutan ng lunch... sobrang init, not to mention yung mga amoy ng tao (pati na rin ako, heheheh) naghalohalo na.... then eksaktong 2:45PM, nakuha ko na rin sa wakas yung lisensya ko.... hay parusa.
Sa susunod, di ako pahuhuli basta-basta...
Pero I will still complain that damn officer named LOURDES SABAYLE.. nahuli po ako sa intersection ng Gil Puyat and Roxas Blvd... turning right to Roxas Blvd papuntang baywalk/luneta.

February 20th, 2005 12:05 AM #19I think it is in bad taste to name drop. To argue for the principle of being wronged is better, but name dropping is a parasite that eats at the fabric of our society.
If ever, I feel this is the last desperate action. I would prefer to find any other moral way. I've never name dropped in a traffic altercation out of principle and I hope that I will not ever be put in a situation wherein I'd have to do that in the first place.
That is why I take pride in following the traffic rules and regulations. In our country where patriarchy is common, its easy for any one person to be related or connected to any person in position or power.
Hence, its not that hard for a person to just go strutting as if they own the place. It is, as with all things, much harder to discipline and control yourself to do what is right. Thats why I admire people who can play it straight.
It takes more strength to follow the rules, but even an ape can impose its own will or "strength" over other animals. Thats why we feel higher than animals, cause we can supposedly control our animal instinct of irrational domination.
I'm in no way a perfect person, far from it. These are rather just guidelines I try to adhere to.
Not naming or targeting anyone ha, just my personal opinion on somethings

Buhay na buhay ang BGC this evening. Bukas halos lahat ng restaurants. Sabi pa nung isang cashier...
Traffic!
