00:00 Last night, two motorcycle escorts were caught by a senator.

00:04 Their motorcycle is in the MMDA but it has a PNP sticker.

00:10 One of them said that they didn't put it there.

00:13 Jun Veneracion was able to find out.

00:15 The two riders' motorcycles, which were caught by the PNP Highway Patrol Group last night in Paranaque City,

00:26 were found to be being escorted by two people, so they were arrested.

00:31 Sir, we said that we were escorted by the senator.

00:35 We followed them and we were able to handle them.

00:39 The convoy of Senator Francis Tolentino, who was allowed to be escorted, has no violations.

00:46 But two motorcycle escorts were found, so they were brought to the office of the HPG in Camp Krame.

00:52 Senator Tolentino opened the door and I asked if they can leave.

01:00 I said yes sir because we are just riding motorcycles because of the police markings.

01:06 He was authorized to have an escort.

01:08 HPG clarified that the two motorcycles were not sidelined or were not on the moon light.

01:13 They were also authorized to ride as motorcycle escorts.

01:16 Are you from MMDA?

01:17 No.

01:19 Have you been an escort of Senator Tolentino for a long time?

01:23 Yes.

01:25 How long?

01:27 He was a chairman.

01:30 Senator Francis Tolentino served as MMDA chairman.

01:35 He asked Senator Tolentino to be released from the public.

01:38 He said that they should investigate the use of PNP stickers and its sources.

01:44 He said that his office had nothing to do with the use of stickers or markings and that he supported the investigation.

01:51 He also said that he was removing the stickers from MMDA.

01:55 These are the motorcycles used by the two MMDA riders who were caught in the operation of PNP-HPG.

02:01 You can see here that it has a police sticker.

02:05 It also has a sticker of the Senate of the Philippines.

02:08 Due to the police markings on their motorcycles, the two MMDA riders were fined for using the Pension Authority and illegal use of insignia,

02:18 a defense.

02:19 He did not put a police sticker on the motorcycle that was used by MMDA.

02:24 Sir, the motorcycle was just a MR.

02:27 I took the motorcycle as is, what the motorcycle looks like.

02:31 Many people have passed through that motorcycle.

02:33 We just face it. We did not do anything wrong. We just work.

02:40 The campaign to strengthen the campaign against the unauthorized giving of motorcycle escort is the directive of the PNP chief in HPG.

02:49 The creation of a special team from PNP, MMDA and Department of Transportation is also being studied

02:56 to address the problem of illegal use of marked vehicles and motorcycle escort to avoid traffic.

03:04 You just go to EDSA and you will see many people escorting.

03:09 We thought that they were highway patrols and they are the ones who are carrying the vehicles.

03:14 That will be the concentration of our operation.

03:21 According to MMDA, they are already cooperating with HPG and will conduct their own investigation.

03:27 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Jun Veneracion, 24 Hours.
