SUBJECT: TOOLS AGAINST MMDA OFFICERS

I just reached my limit last weekend, and decided to take action against the abusive MMDA enforcers. I basically called up the MMDA head office and inquired from the Personnel Officer, Antonio Pagulayan, to clarify their policies. Here is what I got.
If any of these abuses seem familiar to you, Mr. Pagulayan has asked that you call either the MMDA hotline (136) or call the METRO BASE at 09209389861 or 09209389875 and ask for an Inspectorate. They will send inspectors to the place where these MMDA officers are extorting, even while you are arguing out of your apprehension.
1. MMDA officers are not allowed to group together in order to apprehend. They are not even allowed to stand together in groups of 2 or more. The only time they are allowed to work together is for special operations (probably when they apprehend groups of buses for smoke belching)
2. Swerving IS NOT a traffic violation. Moving one lane to the left or right is not swerving, no matter where on the road you do it. And it is even less of a violation when you do it with a signal. Swerving is defined as shifting 2 or more lanes very quickly. So you can argue your way out of this, and call the Metro Base for help.
3. Sadly, using the yellow lane is a traffic violation and will get you a ticket. However, buses are really not allowed to go out of the yellow lane, so if you see selective apprehension of private cars only, you may complain.

4. MMDA has confirmed that your license MAY NOT BE CONFISCATED at a traffic apprehension. The only time they can do so is if you are part of an accident, or it is your third violation and you have not settled your fines yet. They are only allowed to give you a ticket, which you can contest. He recommends actually receiving the ticket in some instances, so that you can report the officer who did it.
Also, you are free to ask any of these officers for their "mission order", which is written by their supervisor. If they apprehend you for a violation that is not in their mission order for the day, you can report them and they will receive disciplinary action.
So go out and enjoy!

Thanks for sharing. Lagi ako nabibiktima dyan sa swerving na yan. Hindi naman pala violation kung isang lane lang yun i-cut mo with signal of course.

hi guys. Sorry tagal ko di naka post but i'm constantly reading. BTW, 25,000 km na ako and my ride a 1.5 G a/t Champange still ok. Walang problema kahit dun sa carpet. Got mine last year October pa. I think I'm one of the first who got an Avanza. Enjoy your ride.

[_Qwerty_]

*gensi311 - are you monitoring your FC? anong nakukuha mo sa avanza mo? also - naka regular or fully synthetic oil ka ba??

[_Qwerty_]

don pala sa naka 1.5G, nakalagay sa specs, Keyless Entry with Anti-Theft Device, tanong ko lang, ano don yung Anti-Theft Device? Does it comes with engine immobilizer?

Nasa Toyota Ortigas ako kanina.

Rustproof revalidation: Scrubby Coat
Around half day ang gawa depende sa pila. Hindi sure ng service advisor kung P1600 (car) or P1900 (AUV) ang price. Parang hindi marami ang nagpapa-revalidate sa kanila or dahil ngayon lang may nag 1 year.

Hand grip:
Wala pang available sa planta na gray for 1.3 J. Sa 1.5 G meron na, P561 per piece. Ito yung pinakabit ni Islaw. Naka order na daw ang request ko, usually 45 days dahil sa Indonesia ang source.

Insurance: for 1.3 J
P11,692.17 ang binayad ko. Same price sa lahat ng insurance company accredited nila (Peoples, Prudential ang natandaan ko). Pero Standard Insurance Co. lang ang covered ang acts of God/nature. Ito na ang kinuhan at no added cost.
