00:00When it comes to traffic, the first thing that comes to mind is the MMDA.

00:05Did you know that the MMDA's job is not just about fixing traffic?

00:10Behind their efforts to maintain our roads and programs in fixing traffic

00:15is also part of their goal of teaching and giving knowledge

00:19for a safer and better travel for every Filipino.

00:23And the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to ensuring that this goal is followed

00:27is their Traffic Education Division under the Traffic Discipline Office.

00:32That's why this morning, we have with us

00:34Atty. Victor Maria D. Nunez, Director III of the MMDA TDO.

00:39Sir, good morning.

00:40Good morning, Victor.

00:41Good morning, and good morning to all of our viewers.

00:44Alright, Atty. Vic, tell us about your office.

00:46What is the mandate of your office?

00:48Well, as part of the Traffic Discipline Office of the MMDA,

00:53one of the mandates of the MMDA is the Traffic Management,

00:58in which one of the components here is Traffic Education.

01:02So, we have a Traffic Engineering Center, Traffic Enforcement,

01:06Road Emergency Response, and the fourth is the Traffic Education,

01:11which is a very vital component of Traffic Management.

01:15Because in this division, the MMDA Traffic Education Division,

01:21they create programs and modules or training programs

01:31to ensure that our traffic enforcers are aware.

01:37We also lecture to different LGUs and motorists who undergo training

01:44to make sure that everyone on our roads is safe.

01:49Traffic Education is very important because no matter how careful you are

01:53in driving or on the road, if you meet someone who is not well-informed,

01:59they will be disgraced.

02:01Sir, you mentioned traffic enforcers.

02:05How do you help enforcers to be more effective in their duties?

02:11Well, one part is we have these laterized training modules

02:17wherein, for example, if you are a new applicant to the MMDA,

02:23we have a 15-day basic traffic rules and safety seminar for all new applicants.

02:33For officers and traffic enforcers, we have a 20-day traffic management seminar.

02:41So, it's in-house in the MMDA.

02:43And for motorists who have violated three or more traffic violations,

02:51it is mandatory for them to have a training seminar, orientation seminar,

02:59half-day, semi-day, before they lift their suspension of their driver's license.

03:06So, this is a very important component.

03:09To give discipline, our motorists should learn the basic road courtesy and discipline,

03:16which is very important on the road.

03:18Okay, so there are lectures and seminars both for drivers and for enforcers.

03:23You mentioned that before you put them on the road,

03:26there is a 15-day training for new applicants.

03:29So, it means that they are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to be an enforcer.

03:35But we can't avoid it, sir.

03:37There are those who complain, right?

03:39There are those who say,

03:41there are those who are tired of being an enforcer.

03:43No, no.

03:44There are some who even bribe enforcers.

03:46For those who will give disciplinary actions or those who will complain,

03:51do we also have trainings or refresher for them?

03:55Yes, sir.

03:56For the erring officers, we also have a program that is like a moral recovery training.

04:05Usually, we coordinate.

04:08The last time, we had a coordination in a seminary school.

04:14Those who taught us from the seminary conducted a moral recovery training.

04:23So, it is important that not only do we know the basic traffic rules,

04:28but we are ready morally to fight all the temptations on the road.

04:34As you know, it's really two-way.

04:36It's not just the enforcer, even the drivers.

04:38Sometimes, the motorists are the first to initiate.

04:41Yes.

04:42So, if you are equipped morally,

04:46and you give integrity as a public servant,

04:51you should fight it.

04:53Instead of entertaining the bribes,

04:57you should complain and answer the wrongdoings on the road.

05:04It goes both ways.

05:05Yes.

05:06There are videos on the cellphones.

05:08Sometimes, it doesn't make sense.

05:09But, sir, how can they avail of your trainings and seminars?

05:13Well, our agency, MMDA PUBUKAS,

05:17also writes to us.

05:19Even outside Metro Manila,

05:22there are LGUs who request trainings from their local traffic enforcers.

05:29So, MMDA goes to LGUs,

05:34and we prepare seminars.

05:36Our job is to write to our chairman,

05:42to request for this road safety or traffic management seminar

05:48for their local traffic enforcers.

05:51There are also bus companies

05:53who request to train or give seminars to their bus drivers.

05:59There are also construction firms

06:02because they are mandated that if there are roadworks,

06:06they should have flagmen or traffic marshals

06:09who also need to undergo training in MMDA

06:13so that they know what to do if there are roadworks or construction,

06:16especially in major thoroughfares.

06:18So, these seminars and trainings are free?

06:21Yes, it's free.

06:22So, you just need to write to MMDA.

06:25So, you have already visited a lot of LGUs?

06:28All over the Philippines.

06:29And we even conducted our traffic engineering.

06:33They conduct traffic surveys in different places in the Philippines.

06:38Lastly, what is your opinion on the suggestions

06:41to include basic traffic rules in the curriculum?

06:49Well, we have been discussing for a long time

06:52that it should be included in the curriculum,

06:56the road courtesy, road rules, and safety,

07:03especially for children.

07:05That's why in MMDA, we have a road children's safety park in Manila

07:10wherein a lot of children go there.

07:13They experience that we have miniature footbridge,

07:17traffic lights, pedestrians,

07:19and the children are being taught proper road discipline,

07:23road courtesy at an early age.

07:25So, it's very important for our children to be exposed

07:29to the right courtesy and discipline on the road.

07:32Well, thank you very much, Atty. Vic Nunez,

07:34for visiting us here in Rise and Shine Philippines.

07:37Your program is very good

07:39to help our enforcers, our LGUs,

07:43and even those who drive on our roads.

07:47Thank you very much, Atty.

07:49Good morning to all of you.
