    It was published on The Philippine Star New feature section dated Aug. 12, 2010. It discusses a Congressman Rep. Irwin Tieng witnessing some politicians street sweepers or "Hawi boys" stop traffic for them to pass, they don't use sirens but use these escorts to gain access to traffic. I'm sorry the link does not work to share to everyone here in tsikot the whole story.

    I was searching for the wangwang thread but redirects me to the search page again. I think it was archived or deleted already. dito na lang ako mag-post.

    After PNoy's "walang wangwang" campaign, akala ko wala na talagang ang ganong habit. Until this afternoon, I was on my way home (along ML Quezon St. in Antipolo) when all of a sudden, the red crosswind in front of me made a full stop. I thought there was an accident that just happened. Umabante ako konti sa kanan para masilip kung madami sasakyan. Yun pala may traffic enforcer at tinutok yung motorsiklo niya sa tricycle sa harapan. Tinuro pa ako nung makita niya ako na nakasilip sa likod.

    After a minute orless, dumaan na ang ini-escortan nila. I was not able to note the plates of the vehicles dahil mabilis sila na parang convoy at de-wangwang. Ang marecall ko lang is one vehicle is a Starex, sporting an NBI-75 plate.

    Mukhang galing sa Thunderbird si mayor-congressman or sino pa man yun.

    ^ Meron ako nakitang ganyan sa Guadalupe.

    1 lang yung ineescortan pero mga 4 ata yung hawi boys + 1 bodyguard.

    Kitang kita ko kung pano hinawi nung isang motorsiklo yung isang kotse, mukhang nagalit nga yung kotse kasi bumusina ng dire-diretso. Nag-senyas nalang yung pulis ng kamay para siguro sign na din of " sorry, trabaho lang ... "

    After the 2 policemen in their motorcycles have passed, sumunod na itong LC200 na itim. Didn't notice the plates since their pace was fast. After nung LC200, andun yung kotse ng bodyguard na Presidential Ed. na Nissan Patrol.

    I frequent the Malacanang area and see these high end suvs with motorcycle riding escorts, they just zoom their way in and out, no more wang wang but they way they zoom makes you think the swagger is still there, the noise is not there but the action is very much alive.

after wang wang, it's hawi boys turn.
