MMDA can no longer apprehend erring motorists!

[baiskee]

pwede pa rin manghuli mmda...eto yung thru bank - no license to be confiscated. and yung mga deputised policemen, may mmda patch daw na nakalagay....

yung mga walang patch daw eh pwedeng isumbong sa mmda...

eto galing kay chairman mismo thru magandang umaga bayan interview.

[garyq]

when I look at all the pros/cons of the MMDA, only one thing I'm sure of: ngayon lang may concrete na nangyayari sa Metro Manila. Ang dami ng dumaan na chairman ng MMDA and even the mayors walang nagawa beyond business as usual. Look at the MMDA maraming mali, marami naman ok. Kaya naman palang gawin in the past hindi ginawa nung mga leaders(kuno) na mga yan. ok naman to criticize them para gumanda pa pero bottomline and ang dulo dapat eh to build up Manila. Not to bring anyone done, especially yung may mga ginagawa. Those who are talking are most often time not rowing!

[ILuvDetailing]

Why don't they just work together instead of bringing each other down... problema kasi dito satin pag may isang gumagawa ng trabaho yung iba naiingit o kaya natatamaan dahil walang publicity puro sarili ang iniisip. Subukan nga ni Lito Atienza umikot sa Manila in rush hour dapat siya nagmamaneho para maranasan niya ang tindi ng traffic dito.

[silhouette]

ILD, mukang malabo mangyari yan. lalo na if you'll include the names PEWEE, JEJOMAR, LITO and those opposing bayani. mga traditional politician. di nila kayang disiplinahin kahit ang sarili nilang nasasakupan. di tulad ni bayani. eh ngayong tinatamaan ang mga hinayupak na mga mayors, umaalma.

bottom line, bayani has done something to clean and improve the metro. saludo po!!!

[ghosthunter]

the real reason why the metro mayors are angry/against bayani is before bayani, the chairman of the MMDA are the metro mayors. They mayors still think they should be one sitting in Bayani's position.

For me, Bayani is doing a good job overall with the MMDA.

[quiksie]

kaya ayaw makipagwork ang mga mayors kasi mawawalan sila ng kurakot!!!
Mawawalan sila ng mga kita sa kanikanilang proyekto pag pumapel ang mmda.
Pwede pa daw manghuli ang mmda pero hindi nila pwede kunin ang license, ticket lang ang ibibigay sayo.
Nakakainis yun pinatanggal yun u-turn sa c-5 kalayaan super traffic lagi lalo na pag rushhour ang haba ng traffic umaabot hanggang libis

[falken]

For me, si Bayani Fernando ang the best the MMDA ever had, unlike those former chairmen of the MMDA who did nothing during their terms and are now busy yacking their mouths off against BF.

[pissword]

meron bang CODING bukas???

another blow on the MMDA

Court shoots down 2 MMDA schemes
By Michael Punongbayan
The Philippine Star 05/05/2005

Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Bayani Fernando is now faced with another set of legal problems after a Makati City court ordered the agency to stop implementing two of its traffic management schemes yesterday.

The agency was barred from further implementing its Metro Traffic Ticket (MTT) system and the No Contact Traffic Apprehension (NCTA) scheme.

Judge Cesar Santamaria of Makati City Regional Trial Court (MCRTC) Branch 145 ruled in favor of nine transport groups and two private complainants who filed a suit against the MMDA four months ago.

They accused Fernando and his men of allegedly implementing illegal and unfair traffic management projects and programs.

The case was lodged by the Pinagisang Samahan ng mga Tsuper at Opereytors Nationwide (Piston), Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association of the Philippines (Fejodap), Metro Manila Bus Operators Association (MMBOA), Integrated Metro Bus Operators Association (Imboa), and other major transport organizations.

They called on the court to order the MMDA to stop implementing the MTT, NCTA and the Organized Bus Route (OBR) scheme implemented on EDSA.

Santamaria, in a 12-page decision, favored the transport groups after several hearings and studying their claims.

He, however, allowed the MMDA to keep the OBR scheme which controls the dispatch of buses plying the EDSA route daily.

The MMDA started implementing the MTT and the NCTA in November 2002 and September 2003, respectively.

Fernando said he has not received a copy of the decision but it will be studied by MMDA’s lawyers.

The MTT scheme replaced the TVR which makes it easier for apprehended drivers to pay fines through banks and without having have to go to the MMDA office in Makati.

The NCTA, on the other hand, arms traffic management personnel with video and still cameras for use in catching traffic violators along EDSA.

my personal view on this... how can we organize the roads of manila if such decision on projects being implemented are being seized... why do we always go with the side of the Public while in fact, most of Bayani's projects are helping the roads of manila well organized. Though i admit some aren't helping at all, but just the same most are helpful. I'm not PRO BF, but aren't the city mayors happy happy bout the mmda helping them in their traffic problems? sad thing is, sabi nila kaya din naman nila gawin yung ginagawa ni BF, eh bakit hanggang ngayon wala pa din akong nakikitang improvement sa mga city nila (except makati of course). yun lang po ang akin.

[mazdamazda]

yung mga bopols na mayors lang naman ang may reklamo kay bayani... namely:

- peewee
- binay
- atienza

yung iba wala naman reklamo...

[jvdejesus05]

yup tama ka dun. actually, nakakaawa na nga yung mga mmda officers kasi, dahil sa alam na ng karamihan na bawal na sila manghuli, hindi na rin sila sinusunod lalo na ng mga PUV's. if this will continue, this would equate to more undisciplined drivers on the road.

yeah...

kanina lang... yung mga bus na galing ng makati going guadalupe... nasa inner lane ulit ang mga gago!!!

nyeta!

itong mga ito nag papanggap na tatapag ligtas ng mga vendor at ng mga traffic violators. botante kasi eh.

alam nila na matatalo sila next election pag nawala ang mga taong bayan na naaapi raw.

[BlueBimmer]

kng cno ang gumagawa ng paraan para sa ikabubuti ng traffic natin, sya pa ung minumukhang kontrabida. wala na hopeless na manila

[ILuvDetailing]

Its all about Politics nothing to do with our Traffic situation. The MMDA was formed to formulate ways to ease our Traffic situation particularly Edsa. Di siguro nila nararanasan yung sobrang traffic dito sa Manila kaya wala silang pake basta magpapabango sila sa mga transport groups, kasi malapit lapit na ang election.

[quiksie]

mga matitigas ang mukha na mga mayors ay si peewee lalo na si binay! Wala naman nagagawa

[benny010]

tingin ko may personal na galit yang si Binay kay BF...

[OTEP]

Nasasapawan kasi sila ni BF. BF is not afraid of losing popularity because hindi naman siya tumatakbo kapag elections. Ang mga mayors kailangan magpapogi at magpagwapo. Try to please everyone ika nga.

Inutil naman iyang si Atienza, Binay, at Peewee.

Nung minsan lang naabutan ko ang Manila tow truck, naninira na naman ng mga sasakyan along Roxas Blvd. Pero kanino kayang BMW ang nakaparada sa tapat mismo ng "NO PARKING" sign? Siyempre sa magaling na mayor na wala na atang ibang alam isuot kundi floral na polo.

Eh sino ba gumawa ng Bay Walk? Diba si Atienza din? Gagawa siya ng park in the beside a major road, syempre kulang ang parking diyan. In the first place dapat di na niya ginawa yung mga park sa Roxas at Avenida dagdag lang sa traffic. Madami nang resto sa may malate dapat yun ang ayusin niya, at yung ibang street ng Manila na walang ilaw.
