I just saw a video on facebook about an MMDA enforcer being harassed by a civilian motorist. The enforcer couldn't do anything while this arrogant driver holds him on the side of his shirt while slapping him on the face. It was good that this despicable behavior was caught on cam. I'll bet this will go viral and will eventually land on the news.

Well it's gonna be worst than hell for this guy, it's so hard to do an "areglo" (settlement)now even if he has the money, very unfortunate for him that the was caught on camera, another thing is he has to go up against T3 (Tulfo brothers popular for busting crimes on air)who seems to be very interested on the case

Yep, I just saw in youtube that T3 has already gotten interest on this case. Although I wasn't able to hear what they are saying (I'm in the office so my computer is on mute), I still believe that justice will soon be served.

That's additional karma and bad luck for him that TV5 was the one who caught it on camera.

I heard this on the news yesterday. But, I have only seen the video on youtube today. Slapping and humiliating the traffic enforcer on public is totally uncalled for. Just because you're an executive from a reputable company doesn't mean you have the right to assault (both physically and verbally) a traffic enforcer or any one for that matter.
I heard he was fired by the company because of the incident.

I think he was just suspended pending the investigation besides he was off duty and was not doing anything related to work when that happened. I think the employer cannot just fire him for some legal technicalities. But it put to shame the company he was working with since the name of the company was dragged in the scene and some block propaganda is spreading urging them to remove this person from the company. Eventually I think they will be force because of bad publicity.

It has gone viral already and I saw it as well and the identity of the person was identified already and even the FB, and was traced in which employer he belonged. Bad move for him now that the video got viral. I also saw that his twitter account was deactivated already because he is being bashed around.
I think it may still be tolerable to bad mouth but physically hurting an MMDA officer is just not acceptable anymore.

Imagine how scared he is right now. He might not be scared for himself but he should be scared for his family and loved ones. Because he let his steam out, he now has to suffer the consequences.

He has made himself the most unliked person on the net. Recently, I read that the identity of his companion was also identified and he was his brother. That is really a lesson he must have learned the hard way.
On the other hand the MMDA traffic enforcer is getting the opposite fate and is working in his favor. I heard that many people out of support for him had provided scholarship for his 6 children and is getting some help from many concerned citizen.
Internet and social networking can indeed make a lot of difference in delivering swift justice.

Hello Xtedaxcvg, this is why our traffic will never get solved, it's either the person didn't care how to follow rules. this person will never forget what he did and regrets it forever. i dunno what's got into him for acting this way but i think it will cost him his job and his dignity among his people. i wonder, i would have let it pass if the traffic enforcer was corrupt but if not i think he should still be punished for assaulting an officer.

A lot of people here thinks highly of themselves. They seem to think that they're untouchable and that their connections in high places can protect them. They seem to forget that we all are equal in the eyes of God.

Hi,
Assaulting a person in authority is big crime. The offender should not go unpunished, crime doesn't pay. I am a law enforcer myself and my feeling goes out to that abused traffic officer.
One reason why I feel naked every time I go to our respective AOR without even a stick to defend myself.

Well, I guess justice will soon be served now that his video has gone viral on the net. He received a lot of threats and even famous icons have gotten interest in handling the case.

It looks like an argument between two guys , one of them wears a formal uniform of something. What was the argument all about ?
What is the job of a traffic enforcer ? Does he give a fee ticket for parking the car on the wrong place ?
Some people treat the road like it belongs to their family !
They park the car on the wrong place , blocking parts of the road that are used for driving. It slows down the traffic like a bottle neck ! Two parts of the road have to merge into one because of someone is too ignorant , parks his car on the road and go to the store to buy some food. I wish there were some more traffic enforcers in my town.

Hello stinger, we don't have much traffic enforcers nor law enforcers because of lack of benefits and salaries. if the benefits were high as the call center agents with less tax deductions i think we would have an army of these enforcers roaming around the city. no doubt, people will eventually recognized him and have him fired. there was a comment in youtube that their family is an a-hole for bragging that much

I hope so will get what he deserves. If he thinks he can make life harder for everyone else and slap the traffic enforcer in the face , he must get his lesson.

yeah, i saw this video clip in a tv news program.. It was so bad, i was quite angry, since there is no reason to hurt another person, especially if that person is not even fighting back. i am glad it got caught on camera too, it would be nice if he publicly apologized.

i saw this video too and its disgusting how that motorist treated the hapless MMDA enforcer. Whatever is the reason for his ire he still has no right to physically hurt anybody. Now this is the prize he reaped for that uncalled for behavior, free worldwide publicity that his family would not be proud of.
