Yorme Isko Moreno naglunsad ng no-contact traffic apprehension scheme sa Maynila
Naglunsad ng no-contact traffic apprehension si Mayor Isko Moreno na ipatutupad sa mga pangunahing lansangan sa lungsod ng Maynila na ginawa sa intersection ng President Quirino Avenue at Taft Avenue noong nakaraang Dec.9.
Nagbigay ng babala si Moreno sa lahat ng motorista na magmaneho ng ligtas at kapag nahuli sila sa mga surveillance cameras na kanilang inilagay ay magbabayad sila ng traffic fines.
“With the use of HD (high definitation) cameras, traffic violators will be caught and identified even at night time,” wika ni Moreno.
Ayon kay Moreno maraming mga problema sa trapiko ang laging hinaharap ng mga miyembro ng Manila Traffic and Parking Bureau (MTPB) sa kanilang pagpapatupad ng traffic at safety rules sa lungsod ng Manila.
Mayroon higit kumulang na kalahating milyon na mga sasakyan ang dumadaan araw-araw sa Manila.
“Operational digitalization is key to ensure the smooth flow of traffic in the city. Our traffic enforcement system is by far the most modern adopted in the Philippines. We are using HD cameras with signature laser tracking technologies installed in key locations in the city to detect traffic violators,” dagdag ni Moreno.
Tuluy-tuloy ang pagpapatupad ng no-contact scheme works. Kung may mahuling motorista, ang camera ay kukunin ang license plate number ng sasakyan at ang information ay dadalahin sa MTPB at ipoproseso naman ang information na galing sa Land Transportation Office (LTO).
Ang MTPB naman ay rerepasuhin ang video ng violation at ipapadala ang Notice of Violation sa registered owner ng sasakyan. Kung may disputes sa mga detalye na nakalagay sa mga notices, ang Manila Traffic Adjudication Board ang siyang magsasagawa ng hearing.
Sinabi rin ni Moreno na ang mga makokolektang multa ay pupunta derecho sa city’s treasury upang gamitin sa welfare program ng lungsod.
Ang mga traffic fines at penalties ay maaaring bayaran sa MTPB o di kaya sa mga designated banks at remittance centers.
“Traffic violators cannot ignore the city’s notices as non-payment of traffic violation fines would disallow violators from renewing their vehicles’ registration with the LTO,” dagdag ni Moreno. (LASACMAR)

MVP hinirang na Sports Tourism Personality of the Year
Dahil sa kanyang mahalagang kontribusyon sa larangan ng isports ay kinilala si businessman/sports patron Manuel V. Pangilinan o mas kilala sa tawag na “MVP” bilang Sports Tourism Personality of the Year sa 4th Philippine Sports Tourism Awards na ginanap kamakailan sa Clark Freeport.
Bilang presidente ng Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) ay tinatag ni Pangilinan ang MVP Sports Foundation na tumutulong sa paghubog ng mga world-class athletes.
Pinuri ni Pangilinan ang misyon ng Philippine Sports Tourism Awards para patuloy na maitaas ang sports bilang isa sa pangunahing tagapagtaguyod ng turismo sa bansa.
“The unquantifiable benefits alone make strong case for investing in sports. But today, we are recognizing a more direct and tangible benefit — how sports could encourage tourism, and how it might eventually serve as a catalyst for economies, both local and national,” ani Pangilinan sa kanyang acceptance speech.
“This award is not a culmination of the work we’ve rendered, but a mandate to push the envelope. Sports remains a high-potential investment for our country, and I consider it an honor to be able to continue supporting its development. We can improve our sporting landscape for the benefit of our athletes and, ultimately, for that of the greater Philippine nation,” dagdag nito.
Sa pamumuno ni Pangilinan ay malaki ang naitulong ng PLDT at Smart bilang mga official telecom partners sa nakaraang 30th Southeast Asian Games noong Disyembre.
Bagama’t ilang sports activities lamang ang naisagawa ngayong taon dahil sa pandemya na nakaapekto sa sports tourism ay marami nang nakatakdang international sporting events sa bansa sa mga susunod na taon.
Isa rito ay ang FIBA World Cup sa 2023 na ipinursige ni Pangilinan na mapamahalaan ng bansa kasama ang Japan at Indonesia bilang mga co-hosts.
