Manila, Philippines — Manila Mayor Isko Moreno said on Tuesday to the
public to stop giving bribes to traffic law enforcers.
Moreno said during a press briefing that if people of Manila wants to see change, then
they should start disciplining themselves. Change must come from within each
one of us.
Mayor Isko referring to the
traffic enforcer caught on CCTV receiving a bribe from a motorist.
“Sana makita rin natin sa ating mga sarili na
meron din tayong mga pagkakamali, induced bribery, siguro may mga manonood
tayong mga lawyers,”
“Kung
gusto talaga natin magsaayos, siguro ang disiplina nagsisimula rin sa atin…wala
masama magpaalala, tayo rin bilang mga mamamayan, konting pagkukusa, pagsunod
sa disiplina,” he added.
Mayor Isko said on Monday, that the traffic enforcer concerned
truly has a fault in the incident, because he has the chance to correct what
the mistake made by the motorist, but he opted to accept bribe instead.
“Totoo
pong may mali ang aming enforcer dahil tumanggap ng pera sa inyo, or what we
call the kotong, totoong may pagkakamali siya,” the
Rockstar Mayor said.
After Monday’s flag ceremony with Manila City’s employees, Moreno showed
that a CCTV footage caught Manila Traffic and Parking Bureau (MTPB), employee
Ricardo Galit allegedly receiving the money from the motorist.
Moreno then threatened other MTPB personnel that he would fire
them all following the incident. He said that the fault of one is the fault of
everybody. So, hours
later, they identified the said enforcer hence authorities arrested Ricardo
Galit.
“He
will no longer be part of the MTPB. Charges will be filed against him,”
Moreno announced during the press briefing.
