August 14th, 2008 10:58 PM #11Ingat kayo dyan sa kanto ng Uniwide coastal mall going to Coastal road specially sunday mornings. Yung mga magagaling na MMDA traffic enforcers kasama ng dalawang traffic police na naka gray, nag se set ng trap para hulihin kayo on supposed swerving violation. Pababayaan nilang pumila yung mga bus at jeep sa tatlong lane sa kanan kaya tatlong lane na lang ang matitira. Natural iiwas ka to your left to cross the intersection. Pag lampas mo ipapara ka na dahil swerving daw.
Last sunday nangyari sa akin to. Nakatingin sa akin yung MMDA ng tumawid na ako sa intersection. Ang ginawa ko dire diretso ako sa pwesto nila sa center island even before they flagged me down sabay bukas ng bintana at sinigawan ko ng "Bakit hindi nyo hinuhuli yung mga bus na humaharang sa kanto? Kaya nag su swerve tuloy yung mga didiretso! I rereport ko kayo sa head office nyo! " Nagulat at natulala yung mga loko. Sinenyasan ako nung pulis na naka motor na diretso na daw ako. Tsk tsk tsk... Nakakainit talaga ng ulo!

December 18th, 2008 12:39 AM #12Napara din ako ng stupid pasay traffic boy knina sa may badang moa. tinanong ko kung ano violation sabi nya swerving daw dahil kumanan daw ako hindi galing sa innermost lane. sa inis ko nakipagtalo ako at sinabi ko na hindi violation ang swerving lalo na kung nagsignal ka saka hindi yun swerving. pinipilit hingin yung lisensya ko at hindi ko ibinigay sabi ko panong swerving eh hindi naman ako nagpapalit palit ng lane. tapos icontest ko daw sa opisina nila. e ugok pala sya pagbinigay ko lisensya ko at ng paticket ako ibig sabihin tama sya. nung hindi na nya ma explain ang swerving version nya. cge daw hindi na swerving, obstruction na lang daw? so lalo kong pinagpilatan kasi hindi nya alam kung ano tawag sa violation na yun. tapos parang nagmalaki pa sabi niya kung yung driver nga daw ni mayor hinuli nya kanina sino daw ako. eh kung tanongin ko din kaya siya sino ka din bkit nagtraffic enforcer eh hindi mo naman pala alam trabaho mo. sa sobrang inis siguro nya dahil hindi ko ibigay ang lisensya ko eh parang gusto pang makipagsuntokan. sympre papatol ba naman ako eh di parang sinabi wala din akong pinagaralan. sa sobrang pahiya siguro at wala ng masabi ayun pinaglagpas ako. nagtataka lang ako kung saan nila nakukuha yung mga traffic enforcer na ganun eh kulang ata sa seminar sa traffic rules. cguro dapat may LTO exam or certification man lang bago maging enforcer hindi yun kung san san lang kinukuha.yung ibang traffic enforcer alam lang atang violation swerving. tapos pagtinanong mo mali pa sagot. sayang lang tuloy tax na binabayad ko pamsweldo sa mga to.

December 18th, 2008 09:52 AM #13Sa palagay ko yang mga police na yan dating mga parking boys or part ng MMDA demolition squad lang. Then biglang isang araw na isipan nila na maging police nakakuha lang ng damit na may nakalagay na police, voila! police na din sila. Kaya ang result, puro walang kwentang apprehension. Saan ka ba naman nakakita na ang violation is swerving then nung hindi niya maexplain biglang naging obstruction!?! Tama ba naman yun? Tignan mo nga nung inimplement ang odd-even scheme, nahirapan sila kasi hindi nila alam kung ano ang odd at even numbers. Sa grade school palang tinuturo na yan. Added to that, coding, swerving at beating the red light lang naman ang alam ng mga yan. Bakit? Kasi yun lang yung naiintindihan nila. Pero yung mga naga unload sa gitna ng daan or yung halos mag park na sa loading/unloading zone, wala silang paki alam. Kaya tignan mo ang buong metro, sangkatutak ang mga MMDA kasi hindi naman talaga sila dumadaan sa rigid screening to perform properly on the streets. Basta may damit na silang blue tapos may ticket, at motor, legal na silang manghuli. Kaya nakakawalang ganang respetuhin yang mga yan kasi hindi sila dumaan sa proper training in their job related field. Unlike in other countries, you could really say that they deserve to be a cop and they deserve to be respected since they really worked for it and it didn't happen overnight.

guys i just copied this dun sa sticky threads, at least read it so para may katwiran tayo next time na maulit yung mga ganito.
SUBJECT: TOOLS AGAINST MMDA OFFICERS
I just reached my limit last weekend, and decided to take action against the abusive MMDA enforcers. I basically called up the MMDA head office and inquired from the Personnel Officer, Antonio Pagulayan, to clarify their policies. Here is what I got.
If any of these abuses seem familiar to you, Mr. Pagulayan has asked that you call either the MMDA hotline (136) or call the METRO BASE at 0920 9389861 or 0920 9389875 and ask for an Inspectorate. They will send inspectors to the place where these MMDA officers are extorting, even while you are arguing out of your apprehension.
1. MMDA officers are not allowed to group together in order to apprehend. They are not even allowed to stand together in groups of 2 or more. The only time they are allowed to work together is for special operations (probably when they apprehend groups of buses for smoke belching)
2. Swerving IS NOT a traffic violation. Moving one lane to the left or right is not swerving, no matter where on the road you do it. And it is even less of a violation when you do it with a signal. Swerving is defined as shifting 2 or more lanes very quickly. So you can argue your way out of this, and call the Metro Base for help.
3. Sadly, using the yellow lane is a traffic violation and will get you a ticket. However, buses are really not allowed to go out of the yellow lane, so if you see selective apprehension of private cars only, you may complain.
4. MMDA has confirmed that your license MAY NOT BE CONFISCATED at a traffic apprehension. The only time they can do so is if you are part of an accident, or it is your third violation and you have not settled your fines yet. They are only allowed to give you a ticket, which you can contest. He recommends actually receiving the ticket in some instances, so that you can report the officer who did it.
Also, you are free to ask any of these officers for their "mission order", which is written by their supervisor. If they apprehend you for a violation that is not in their mission order for the day, you can report them and they will receive disciplinary action.
So go out and enjoy!

September 6th, 2009 10:45 PM #20This morning I was on my way to the church sa tapat ng MOA to attend a baptism, when I got to the rotunda at the end of EDSA ext. hindi ko alam na hati pala yon ng orange barriers, so pagpasok ko I thought there was no way for me to go to the other side (outer lane) but to go back all the way doon sa intersection sa Bluewave then U-turn ulit para makapasok sa outer lane, buti na lang may puwang na nakabukas pero may nakalagay "no swerving" eh nagmamadali na ko noon so I just took the risk, pag-swerve ko meron ngang Pasay traffic aide pero buti na lang nakatalikod kaya lusot pa rin ako.
