    QUEZON CITY, Jan. 5 (PIA) -- Not even Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista could escape the hands of the law.

    On New Year’s Eve, the Mayor was apprehended by a traffic enforcer from the city’s department of public order and safety apparently for beating the red light while cruising along Tomas Morato Avenue corner Kamuning Road at about past six in the evening last December 31.


    The Mayor was driving a privately-owned SUV without any security detail when flagged down by traffic enforcer Sol Botilla, who at that time was helping some children cross a street along Kamuning Road.


    Botilla, a traffic enforcer for nearly 10 years, failed to recognize the Mayor who was always looking at his right side. “Ang alam ko lang mukha siyang Intsik,” the 47-year old Botilla said.


    Twice did Botilla ask for the mayor’s driver’s license. However, it was not until the man behind the wheels spoke and acknowledged his violation that the traffic enforcer finally realized that he had actually apprehended the Mayor.


    “Nakakahiya nga po dahil humingi pa sa akin ng pasensiya si Mayor dahil sa abala,” Botilla said.


    After the incident, Mayor Bautista told the traffic aide to personally report to his office the following day. However, Botilla did not go to the Mayor’s office because he was afraid of the repercussions it might cause him.


    During the year’s first Monday flag-raising, Mayor Bautista cited Botilla for his exemplary achievement and rewarded him with a P10,000 financial assistance and a spot promotion.


    Already, the city’s department of public order and safety, headed by Ret. P/CSupt. Elmo San Diego, is facilitating Botilla’s promotion for a supervisory position.


    Botilla said he will use the cash reward for the tuition of his children. (PIA-NCR/alfer kristoff guiang)

    So the question is, did Mayor Bautista get issued a traffic violation ticket?

    Every cloud has a silver lining as long as you put the correct "spin" on it.

    From an embarrassing incident, it has been given the "political spin" for positive media mileage for the mayor.

    For every decent traffic enforcer, there are 20 other idiotic ones.

    ayuz! 10k ah? eh baka naman yung TE nag-aantay ng areglo yan. andaming gunggong na TE sa q.c.
    ito talagang si bistek, mahilig sa press release.

    at ito namang TE kung talaga lang na may paninindigan sya, bakit naman natakot syang sumipot sa opisina ni pareng meyor? aber?
    kung ganyang pag-uugali pa lang ng TE, di karapat dapat prinomote yan.
