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.
