LTO deploys 400 lady enforcers in RP's major roads

After taking their oaths, some 400 lady traffic enforcers formally assumed their posts Monday in key roads of the country to catch traffic violators. Radio dzBB's Allan Gatus reported that Land Transportation Office head Virginia Torres led some of the enforcers near the People Power Monument along EDSA in Quezon City. The lady enforcers, wearing yellow uniforms, have been trained to spot and apprehend traffic violators, Torres stressed. Earlier this month, Torres said her agency will initially deploy at least 20 LTO lady enforcers to each region. (See: LTO to deploy lady enforcers starting September 20) "Nakita ko during our days na pag lady enforcers, ang nahuhuling drivers di nagagalit, natutuwa pa ang iba (I noticed during our days that drivers caught by lady enforcers do not get mad. Some of them are even glad)," Torres, herself a former female traffic enforcer, said in an earlier interview on dzBB radio. She said the lady enforcers are trained to be courteous but uncompromising. In Metro Manila, she said the initial batch of lady enforcers will be assigned to Epifanio delos Santos Avenue and areas where colorum buses pass. — RSJ, GMANews.TV
