MANILA, Philippines — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority has terminated the employment of two traffic enforcers caught attempting robbery extortion in a viral video on social media. According to the MMDA resolution, both enforcers “committed grave misconduct as public employees” following an investigation on a complaint and video uploaded on social media involving them in a robbery/extortion activity. The motorist first pleaded for consideration but later told the enforcers to issue him a traffic ticket citation instead for his violation. “These two traffic enforcers are now terminated. Just the week before, the MMDA dismissed from service two traffic enforcers also on a viral video after an investigation also found them guilty of extortion and grave misconduct.
