Oh, what about Blinkers?

Pwede kaya kay VP Binay ang walang wang wang?

I'm sure kating kating umandar sa red light ang mga hagad pero wala silang magagawa kasi utos ng President. Sana naman masunod to. Eh bat kanina may kasalubong ako sa kamuning tumawid sila ng EDSA wala silang wang-wang pero nag counter flow naman. I'm sure policitian to. Sino kaya to around 6pm?

That would be good news to have all non-legal sirens banned. They should only be used by the police and hospitals.

Sadly though, I just don't think anything will change. Change is something always promised by elected government officials and it is always a broken promise time and time again.

I will wait and see.

Good start for P-Noy. Basta pwede lang si P-Noy, si Binay, si Enrile (for now baka we have a new one in the next Senate baka daw si Villar), si Corona (Chief Justice pero parang ayaw din ni Aquino mag stay) at si Nograles (God forbid sana wag si GMA in the next Congress)... The rest with 8 plates and mayors, councilors and sino sino pa bawal ang WANG-WANG!

Di na congressman si Nograles. Si Sonny Belmonte malamang magiging Speaker. It would be a wait and see attitude muna kung talagang matutupad ito. I think the penalty should be more harsh, like confiscation of the vehicle...

Law vs 'wang-wangs' already existing; implementation absent — De Lima

In his inaugural address, President Benigno Aquino III took a dig at officials who indiscriminately use sirens — colloquially called "wang-wang" — to get past traffic jams.

"Kayo ba ay nagtiis na sa trapiko para lamang masingitan ng isang naghahari-hariang de-wangwang sa kalsada? Ako rin (Have you ever stuck it out in heavy traffic, only to see a big shot with flashing siren on the road cut in ahead of you? I have)," Mr. Aquino said.

"Walang lamangan, walang padrino at walang pagnanakaw. Walang wang-wang, walang counterflow, walang tong. Panahon na upang tayo ay muling magkawang-gawa (No taking unfair advantage, no invoking godfathers, no plunder of funds. No flashing sirens, no counterflow, no cop asking for bribe. It’s time we return to being charitable)" the 15th Philippine president later added.

At a press conference in Malacanañg held after the first Cabinet meeting, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said a law already exists barring the unauthorized use of sirens on the country's streets. She, however, lauded Mr. Aquino's "example of good leadership."

"There is already a law limiting the use of sirens on the road... it's only a matter of implementation," said the former Commission on Human Rights chair, referring to Presidential Decree 96.

The decree, issued in 1973 by the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos, regulates the use of sirens, bells, whistles, horns and other similar devices.

"The gadgets or devices mentioned above may be attached to and use only on motor vehicles designated for official use by the Armed Forces of the Philippines, National Bureau of Investigation, Land Transportation Commission, Police Departments, Fire Departments, and hospital ambulances," a portion of the law said.

For government officials, only the following are entitled to use sirens: President, vice president, Senate president, House of Representatives speaker, and Supreme Court chief justice are allowed to use vehicles with these devices.—JV, GMANews.TV

Kaso yun ngang taga implement mismo ang sumusuway pano kaya yun

[iexposeu]

parepareho tayong mga tsikoteers na natuwa sa wangwang comment ni p-noy. Such a releif na coming from the highest post, eh asar din sa wang wang. can't help but remember more than a week ago at pasay edsa, there was this Black Suburban with plate NXI xx1 (takot pa ako ibulgar eh), he was swerving left and right at alam nyo kung paho sya sumsignal??? he opens the passenger front door (wide open) then the big goon gives you the dagger looks. syempre the normal citizen drivers can't help but just let him pass. ilang beses nya ginawa ito. such imbecile! sana yung mga ganitong abusado maalis na sa lipunan.

Bro daan ka sa Magallanes village sa may 2nd gate malapit sa Paseo De Roxas. Along Lapu Lapu Road lang. Makikita mo ulit yang Suburban na yan. Nakapark doon. Hindi ko na babanggitin kung sino mayari niyan (kilala yan) basta meron din siyang isa pang Suburban at Toyota Prado na latest. NXI xxx plaka nung dalawang suburban. Malamang isa yun sa mga yan. Pasay EDSA pa. Lapit lang. Buhusan mo ng Strip-to-metal.

good policy. malacanang should set up an active hotline where anyone can report these &%#$*!* wang wang i****s and then something will be done about it.

i hope hindi ningas cogon ito

by the way, what happened to the "report a wang wang" thread here?

[OldSchoolHack]

Nanghuhuli sila sa Quezon ave yesterday. Nice.

Dami angas pag me wang-wang. A lady driver (pag maganda a girl. eto lady driver - clue:pangit kasi.) using a CRV one did this to me sa SM North. Hindi makasingit palabas sa Pag-asa ayun nag wang-wang. Hindi ko pinasingit pa rin (pangit nga kasi)

[impulzz]

kaso di nga nag wang wang yung escort pero haharang pa din sa intersection para mauna ang VIP nya, ganun pa din naka harang pa din sila

pag nadaan ka pa hampasin pa side mirror mo or gigitgitin ka ng back-up na land cruiser para tumabi...
