Bullied by MMDA Personnel

Filed Under General Nonsense

I got apprehended yesterday by the MMDA at the corner of Aurora Blvd and EDSA. I came from E. Rodriguez Ave then to Aurora Blvd and wanted to turn right to EDSA going back to Makati. I don’t exactly know why I got apprehended yesterday because I’ve been using that route for so long. I was told that I can only turn right in that area if I came from Aurora Blvd but since I came from E. Rod, I violated the lane .
WTF!!!!!! You can’t even see the worn-out lanes in that area! The harebrained MMDA ‘traffic enforcer’ advised me that I should have crossed EDSA then turned right to Araneta Center and the right again to P. Tuazon and finally left to EDSA. Wow!!! What a damn bright idea, huh?!?! That would have caused me another 30 minutes in Cubao and at least a liter of gasoline! I just can’t believe it!
But since I’m already starving to death at that time since I haven’t had a breakfast, I was forced to bribe the MMDA bastard. And what’s more?!? I think I’m too hungry already that I forgot that I have a callling card of a Malacanang officer(at the office of the Executive Secretary) which could have saved my bribe money! Aaarrgh!
I think that was the second time I wasn’t able to use connections. I’m just not used to using other person’s name to my personal advantage. Oh yeah, I should have not bribed that lunatic but hey, he’ll get my license and how then can I drive?
Now, feeling duped, I called MMDA hotline to check whether there really is a lane violation rule in that area. Damn!!!! I should have not called because I wast told that it’s completely legal to turn right in that area! I just then told the customer service that I was just apprehended by some morons in the corner of Aurora blvd and EDSA. Now, I really felt fooled! Hmnnn… let’s see. I’ll email Bayani Fernando about this. I already received a lot of bad stories about those corrupt enforcers. I just hope BF kick their butt out!
