Just like ex-President Noynoy Aquino, Vice President Leni Robredo wants to ban the use of sirens or wang-wang for government officials so they will know how hard it is to get stuck in traffic with other commuters and motorists.

“Ang sabi ko, sobrang insulto iyon, iyong wang-wang, kasi parang sinasabi mo, ‘Iyong mga lakad niyo hindi importante; lakad ko lang iyong importante,'” Robredo said during her weekly radio show, “Biserbisyong Leni.”



“Kapag parating ganito iyong kalakaran ng government officials, talagang paano mo mararamdaman iyong bigat na dinadala ng ating mga kababayan?” she added

“Sana iyong mga nagwa-wang-wang, huwag nang mag-wang-wang,” Robredo said.

The Vice President added that being the second highest official in the country does not mean her convoy was spared from those vehicles that use wang-wang.


In 2011, Aquino first ban the unauthorized use of blaring sirens (wang-wangs) to show that the government is serious in cracking down on an attitude of entitlement being held by officials.
