PASIG CITY, Feb. 25 (PIA) -- The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) commended eight of its traffic enforcers in recognition of their good deeds.
MMDA Chairman Benhur Abalos awarded certificates of commendation to Traffic Enforcers Ernesto Bungay Jr; Junathan Salmingo; Charmaine C-Zeil Balmores in recognition of their honesty when they surrendered a lost wallet and ATM cards thru a television public service program for the purpose of returning it to its lawful owner in Quezon City last January 4.

MMDA wants to ban rogue PUV drivers
#PHnews: MMDA wants to ban rogue PUV drivers
MANILA – The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) wants a ban on delinquent drivers of public utility vehicles (PUVs) and called for PUV operators to keep such drivers from driving their vehicles.
In a press conference at the MMDA headquarters in Makati City on Monday, MMDA General Manager Arturo “Jojo” Garcia said that after forwarding a list of drivers with an excessive number of violations to the Land Transportation Office (LTO), their next step would be to get such drivers off the roads.
“We want the riding public to be out of danger and prohibiting habitual traffic offenders is one step to avoid road accidents,” Garcia said.
While the MMDA does not have the authority to apprehend or revoke excessive traffic violators, he said that they have asked the LTO to issue a guideline on the apprehension of such drivers.
“Because we are just an enforcement agency, we have to be guided by the LTO on the apprehension of these motorists,” Garcia said.
While waiting for the guidelines, he called on the PUV operators -- especially those in Metro Manila -- to bar such drivers from going on the road with their vehicles.
“We encourage PUV operators to exercise their authority and bar their errant drivers from holding the steering wheel,” Garcia said.
The MMDA said that on Tuesday, the traffic authority and the Land Transportation and Franchising Regulatory Board Technical (LTFRB) will sit down with bus operators to submit the names of drivers included in the LTO’s list of excessive violators.
LTFRB Division Chief Joel Bolano supported the strict measures against delinquent drivers and said that suspending a large number of PUV drivers would not necessarily translate to a lesser number of PUVs in Metro Manila.
“If there are 3,500 bus units in Metro Manila, there are more than 7,000 PUV drivers. If there are only 2,000 delinquent bus drivers, there will still be 5,000 left," Bolano said.
Garcia clarified that while a large chunk of excessive offenders was PUV drivers, they were not being singled out.
He said that the MMDA will also crackdown against private vehicle drivers and owners with more than three violations of the same traffic offense.
LTO Law Enforcement Deputy Director Roberto Valera said that under the law, the revocation and suspension of driver’s license is possible for delinquent drivers.
Aside from the revocation or suspension of license, Philippine National Police - Highway Patrol Group Traffic Enforcement Unit Chief Col. Emmanuel Tabuena said that drivers involved in road accidents may also face criminal charges for reckless driving, among others.
Last month, the MMDA submitted a list of about 12,000 drivers with multiple apprehensions, with the LTO issuing show-cause orders to about 2,500 -- half of which responded to the LTO. (PNA)

The MMDA has submitted a total of 12,000 drivers with multiple apprehensions last month. While waiting for the apprehension guidelines from the LTO, Garcia appealed to the operators to not allow those delinquent drivers to ply national roads in Metro Manila.
“Because we are just an enforcement agency, we have to be guided by the LTO on the apprehension of these motorists but we encourage PUV operators to exercise their authority and bar their errant drivers from holding the steering wheel,” Garcia said.
LTO Law Enforcement Deputy Director Roberto Valera said that revocation and suspension of license is in accordance with the law.
Tomorrow, March 3, the MMDA and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board will sit down with bus operators to submit the names of drivers who are under the alarm list of LTO.
Philippine National Police – Highway Patrol Group Traffic Enforcement Unit Chief Col. Emmanuel Tabuena, for his part, said that aside from suspension and revocation of license, drivers who are involved in road accidents may also face criminal charges like reckless driving, among others.
Garcia and LTFRB Technical Division Chief Joel Bolano are confident that license revocations and suspensions won’t adversely affect the transport system in the Metropolis. “If there are 3,500 bus units in Metro Manila, there are more than 7,000 PUB drivers.
If there are only 2,000 delinquent bus drivers, there will still be 5,000 left," Bolano said. Garcia also clarified that the government is not singling out PUV drivers as the agency is now going after private vehicles drivers and owners with more than three violations of same traffic offense.

QUEZON CITY, Oct. 7 (PIA)--A lady motorcycle-riding traffic enforcer of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) bagged the Dangal ng Bayan Award-Regional Winner Award in the Civil Service Commission’s 2019 Search for Outstanding Government Workers.
During the MMDA’s flag raising ceremonies held Monday, CSC-NCR Makati Field Office director Nel Sherwin Carnetes conferred the award to Rowena Capistrano, a member of the Traffic Discipline Office and employee of the agency for the past 10 years.
The Dangal ng Bayan Award is conferred to an individual for performance of extraordinary act or public service and consistent demonstration of exemplary ethical behavior.
The MMDA nominated Capistrano to the search in recognition of her exemplary performance in line of duty that brought honor and prestige to the agency due to her following achievements:
· Chosen as one of the Oustanding Women in Law Enforcement and National Security (OWLENS) in the Philippines last March 11, 2019;
· Received fourth place award in MMDA’s Search for Best Employee in November last year after being recorded as the traffic aide with the highest number of apprehensions;
· Received best apprehending officer award from the Motorcycle Unit in 2017 and 2018
MMDA Chairman Danilo Lim said Capistrano’s professionalism in the performance of her mandated responsibilities is manifested by her punctuality and diligence resulting to a consistent very satisfactory performance rating.
Moreover, the act of showing commitment to public interests is manifested by her dedication, sincerity and commitment to her job by apprehending erring motorists from all walks of life in spite of the risk inherent to the job.
“The authority to apprehend and issue violation ticket is considered as a risk and temptation at the same time, but she never attempted to take advantage of it. She has shown exemplary performance in her field of assignment and possess the quality of a good public servant,” Lim said.
The CSC’s Honor Awards program recognizes government officials and employees who have displayed outstanding work performance. The conferment of honor awards aims to motivate or inspire government employees to improve the quality of their performance and instill deeper involvement in public service.
The search culminates with the recognition and conferment of awards to deserving public servants during the celebration of the anniversary of the Philippine Civil Service in September. (PIA-NCR/MMDA)

Police power not about arming traffic enforcers: MMDA
#PHnews: Police power not about arming traffic enforcers: MMDA
MANILA — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Thursday clarified that the “police power” they have requested only meant "legislative powers" to craft effective traffic policies and strengthen the authority of traffic enforcers in sanctioning erring motorists.
Arturo “Jojo” Garcia, MMDA general manager, made the clarification after Edsa Special Traffic and Transport Zone head Edison “Bong” Nebrija reportedly asked for police powers "out of frustration."
However, Garcia said such power would be an effective deterrent against repeat traffic policy offenders.
“Na-frustrate lang talaga si Bong. Kasi nga meron talaga tayong mga driver ng bus na ang huli ay 70, 80 plus. Sana nga kung tatlong huli, i-confiscate natin 'yan para at least madala -- hindi makakapag-hanap buhay 'yan (Bong just got frustrated because we really have bus drivers who have been sanctioned 70 or 80 plus times. Maybe after three apprehensions, we could confiscate their license so they would realize their mistakes — they won’t be able to make a living),” Garcia said during a press conference at the MMDA main office in Makati City.
He said their enforcers are authorized to confiscate an erring motorist’s license but only in certain situations.
“Right now, we are authorized to confiscate license(s) on certain violations. Colorum vehicles, out of line, counter-flow or reckless, and kung may aksidente (if there’s an accident),” Garcia said.
Police power does not necessarily mean giving firearms to their enforcers or simply more power to confiscate licenses, Garcia said, noting that it also includes empowering the Metro Manila Council (MMC) to be able to issue traffic policies that could override local ordinances for uniform traffic laws across the metro.
“We have 17 local government units (LGUs) in Metro Manila. Each LGU has (its) own city ordinance. So sometimes, hindi pare-pareho 'yan (they are not uniform). So magkakaroon kami ng legislative power, mas masusunod 'yung resolution ng MMC (If we have legislative power, the MMC resolution would be followed),” Garcia said.
He said former MMDA chair and incumbent Marikina City 1st District Rep. Bayani Fernando attempted to push a resolution through the MMC, which would give their traffic enforcers authority to confiscate a license after three traffic violations but was rejected in court.
“'Yan po kinontest sa court. Natalo ang MMDA kasi nga we don't have the police power to legislate. So 'yun po ang ibig sabihin ni Bong diyan (That was contested in court. The MMDA lost because we don’t have the police power to legislate. So that’s what Bong meant),” Garcia said.
In a television interview last Wednesday, Nebrija said laws granting the MMDA enforcement powers were lacking, keeping their traffic enforcers from being effective deterrents against traffic violators.
He said some bus drivers have a lot of unpaid traffic tickets -- some with almost a hundred violations – due to non-contact apprehensions, but are still able to drive around Metro Manila. (PNA)
