    Siguro mas ugok yung mga mayors na walang ginagawa kundi panoorin lang ang mga problema sa lugar nya.... Mahilig lang makisawsaw yang mga mayor na yan sa kontrobersya para mapansin cla and check mo kung may gingawa silang solusyon sa trapiko.... WALA!!!

    Kung tutuusin wala namang problema kung susunod lahat tayo sa batas eh kahit anong bigat pa ng parusa dyan, anong pakialam natin!

    contrary to what silver_corolla posted, MMDA will NOT throw wet rags at jaywalkers.

    they will attach wet blankets on the sides of their vehicles. they will first warn the pedestrians, then "swipe" the road. if the pedestrian gets hit, sorry for him/her. if he gets back on the road after the vehicle passes, the MMDA personnel will apprehend him for jaywalking.

    MMDA gets wet and wild

    STAY in designated areas or risk getting wet courtesy of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).

    MMDA Chair Bayani Fernando yesterday announced that the agency would be using rags to wet and discourage pedestrians from blocking the roads and causing traffic jams.

    Fernando said blanket-sized rags would be hung "like flags" on the agency's vehicles, which would be deployed on Metro Manila's main roads.

    Road discipline "This is a way to discipline pedestrians who refuse to abide by road rules," Fernando said in a phone interview.

    He explained, "These pedestrians have become increasingly hardheaded, even occupying as much as two lanes of major roads like Marcos Highway."

    However, this wet solution is only part of a heightened MMDA campaign against pedestrians who use the roads instead of sidewalks.

    The MMDA chair said he already directed the agency's traffic enforcers to arrest and cite violators for jaywalking.

    Fine and a lecture Aside from paying a P100 to P200 fine, which is determined by the local government unit, jaywalkers are gathered in prison vans where they are given a lecture on road rules.

    Violators are also made to render community service.

    The MMDA chief said he had issued a directive to the agency's traffic enforcers to strictly abide by the "about-face policy."

    With the policy, enforcers are directed to focus on the pedestrians instead of the motorists.

    "We have forgotten that people, by blocking the roadways, cause more disorder on the streets than the motorists themselves," Fernando said.

    oo nga... na buset ako sa tv interview dun sa mayor ng pasay (si trinidad ba yun) na tutol dun. e namputik... wala namang nangyayari na improvement sa pasay!

    dapat talaga draconian measures na ang gawin at talagang matigas ang ulo ng pinoy.

    i find this proposal good. humane pa nga yan e. kasi kung ako kay BF, i po-propose ko na walang sagutin ang motrista kapag nakabundol ng nagje-jaywalk, o kaya yung mga pedestrian na tawid ng tawid kahit naka-go ang mga sasakyan.

    ok lng sa akin to, nagco commute din nman ako e. And hindi sila magtatapon ng wet rags, isasabit lng nila ung rags sa mga trucks nila na parang bandera saka dadaan sa mga kalye, cguro nman sa laki ng truck nila with matching sirens e makikita mo un, pag nabasa ka pa, either matigas ulo mo or nagtatanga tangahan ka sa kalye. Tama nman si bayani na hindi human rights violation un, may appropriate warnings nman na gagawin, and sabi nya din na hindi right ang tumayo sa gitna ng kalye, kung tutuusin mga rights pa ng motorists bina violate ng mga erring pedestrians na to. Ang sa akin lng e lumagay tayo sa lugar, wag ng magturuan kung sino mauunang gumawa ng paraan.

    Ok lang yang basain. Tapos pag second offense eh kuryentihin na. hehehe.

    Kasi naman itong mga mayors na against sa gagawin ng mmda eh puro salita, wala naman ginagawa sa sandamukal na jaywalkers sa city nila. Buti nga ang mmda may ginagawa, eh sila? Ayun nagpapalaki ng bayag sa mga opisina nila.

    I'm for this way of treating the jaywalkers. It's for their own good din naman. They will be disciplined and it will help them save their own lives. May mga jaywalkers nga na tumatawid kahit na may nakikita silang "Walang Tawiran. Nakamamatay" na sign (usually along EDSA). Hay naku mga tao nga naman oo. What will stop them to illegally cross the street? Lagyan ng kuryente yung street mismo?

    water balloons na lang para masmasaya... what if hindi ka jaywalker at naaksidenteng nabato ka? pwede mo ba idemanda?

    kasi ang problema gumagawa siya ng parusa hindi siya gumagawa ng FEASIBLE and RIGHTFUL SOLUTION na bagay sa LONG-TERM... U-Turns are not for long-term... mali nga yun eh, pagnapuno yun isang side magtraffic na rin yun kabila...

    I'm for the wet rag policy, dahil aminin mang natin talagng matigas ang ulo ng mga pilipino, meron na ngang batas againts jaywalker, hinde pa rin natatakot ang mga tao, so kahit nakaktawa yun mga solution ni bayani, at least meron siyang ginagawa unlike yun mga mayors na taokt sa mag implement ng batas dahil natatakot na baka hinde sila iboto sa election....

    If the mayors are against this plan, then they should strictly implement jaywalking laws. kaya lang puro sila against this against that, meron naman diyan laws pero di iniimplement. dapat nga pag nabangga ang jaywalker walang kasalanan ang driver!

    diba mas profitable ang fines sa jaywalking..

    o/t madalas kasi biase yung mga local traffic enforcer except makati, di hinuhuli yung mga simple/serious na violation ng PUVs easpecially tricycle, pedestrian, iligal park, illigal merchant na nasa kaylye kaya kahit may ordinance wala rin..>>
