Oh well, the debate with using hazard lights while driving here is a bit pointless because technically, hindi siya bawal. There's no fine imposed for doing so. Personally, I am against it, i find it unnecessary and some drivers feel that when turn on their hazard lights, it gives them a "license" to drive recklessly (e.g. counterflow pag may "emergency", cut people off, etc.). Yung "hazard" becomes a version of "wangwang" sa mga wala nito.
Pag sa expressway naman at minimal visibility, to me it's a signal to other drivers that you don't know what to do kaya hazard na lang (so drive behind or past this car at your own risk). I guess to each his/her own na nga lang kasi wala naman rules dito sa bansang ito.
