MMDA Cleanup Operations 2018

It's interesting to note that these days, I have been binge-watching video coverages on the MMDA Cleanup Operations going on in Manila instead of my usual Korean/Chinese/Taiwanese dramas. And yes, I've even put a pause on Meteor Garden reboot because I somehow find these more interesting.

If you're looking to check out what I'm talking about, just do a search in YouTube. I specifically like Gadget Addict's videos because of his narration.

To note, there are a few incidents that have gone viral but the ones that top my list are:

a) 5 minute girl -  A woman parked her vehicle illegally and argued with traffic enforcers. She refused to give her license. Her argument was that she came within 5 minutes. Her husband eventually came to the scene.

The woman turned out to be a fiscal and the husband a prosecutor working for the DOJ.

Both eventually issued a public apology, probably after realizing how much trouble they were in with the MMDA filing formal charges against them.

b) both sides couple - A car parked on the wrong side of a one-side-parking-only street was towed and the owners argued that to make things fair for everybody, parking should've been disallowed on both sides.

There is one great lesson to be learned here and that we should always keep in mind. In this day and age of social media, there is always someone watching/recording, so think twice before acting like an ass because you wouldn't want everybody to think that you're a fool, would you ?
