Tools Against MMDA Officers
From: icaaa@yahoogroups.com (ICA Alumnae Association)
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 0920 9389861or 0920 9389875 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 pri vate 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.

Welcome to our BLOG
BLIA Pasig is one of the oldest subchapters under BLIA Philippines. Founded in 1995, our members have steadily grown. We are not the biggest in terms membership, but we are one of the most active in Metro Manila. Although we are called BLIA Pasig, most of our members do not live in Pasig.
We are best known for our vegetarian cooking skills. We are usually called upon to handle food preparation during IBPS's and BLIA's major activities. Some of our members are also known for their flower arrangement skills and are often commissioned to do arrangements for the temple.
Aside from cooking and flower arrangement skills, we also have tech-savvy members who manage IBPS Philippines' Official Website (http://fgsphilippines.org). We also have members who belong to the IBPS/BLIA media center.
This BLOG has been created to keep track of our activities.
We are always open to accept new members. If you are interested in joining us, please don't hesitate to contact any of our members or e-mail us at bliapasig@yahoo.com.
