I did bribe an enforcer a couple of times when i was new to driving. I was ignorant then and easily intimidated with threats of what i have to go through in claiming back my license. What with the hassles and lost time at work, something which i couldn't afford to go through at that time.
Never knew tsikot.com existed that time, and no Metrobank payment available.

Today, would i bribe a cop? My default answer would be NO. But i won't say i will NEVER EVER again. For me, case to case basis decision. Is the officer from MMDA, MAPSA or other local traffic enforcer? Am i truly at fault or was it just a huli-dap? Am i in Metro Manila, far away provinces, or abroad? Can i afford to go thru all the hoops in claiming my license?

In the last few years, i have not bribed a cop. Last time i was flagged down, i reasoned it out that i was right, and no violation was commited. He let me go without a bribe/ticket.

Is that a necessary evil? Sometimes.
