Dateline Kamuning:


The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) along with the local government units of Metro Manila, inked today a memorandum of agreement and data sharing agreement with the Land Transportation Office before implementing the single ticketing system in the region set on May 2.

The signed agreements were for the Metro Manila LGUs interconnectivity with the Land Transportation Management System (LTMS) of the LTO.

MMDA Acting Chairman Atty. Don Artes said that this is a historic legislation in the Metro Manila Council since it took 28 years before being fully realized.

He also said that pilot testing will be undertaken by the MMDA, together with seven LGUs, namely: San Juan, Muntinlupa, Quezon City, Valenzuela, Parañaque, Manila, and Caloocan.

The MMDA will provide handheld devices to apprehending officers that can provide options for cashless payments to violators. It will also help minimize corruption and eradicate forms of negotiations between the motorist and the officer, Artes said.


San Juan City Mayor and Metro Manila Council President Francis Zamora, for his part, thanked his fellow local chief executives for being part of the landmark legislation.

"The mayors have shown support and love to Metro Manila by amending our traffic ordinances to create a unified traffic code," he said.

The single ticketing system will harmonize the existing national and local laws on traffic enforcement, as well as penalties and fines of the most common traffic violations stated in the Metro Manila Traffic Code.

The move aims to establish effective transport and traffic management in Metro Manila by standardizing apprehension procedures, payment of fines, and redemption of vehicle plates and drivers' licenses, among others.

Kung may death penalty sa Pilipinas ang unang lima sa aking listahan na dapat patawan ng parusang bitay ay ang drug lord, illegal recruiter, rapist, swindler at magnanakaw sa kaban ng bayan. Sa lima, ang gusto kung pagtuunan ng pansin ay ang "illegal recruiter." Katulad ng "drug lord" ang ‘illegal recruiter’ ay marami ng winasak na tahanan. Halimaw ito na dapat tigpasin ang ulo para hindi na makapagisip pa ng mga bagong modus na ang target biktimahin ay ang mahihina, nangangailangan at kulang sa kakayahan.
