Chavit offers P100K to MMDA team that flagged him down on EDSA busway

Former Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis "Chavit" Singson has offered a P100,000 reward to the MMDA traffic enforcers who apprehended his convoy which used the EDSA Busway on Monday.

“Humihingi ako ng paumanhin sa MMDA,” Singson said in a phone interview with GMA Integrated News.

Singson offered the handsome reward to the apprehending team. 

“Pinapahanap ko na si Chairman [Romando] Artes. Magpapadala ako ng P100,000 premyo sa mga nanghuli para ma-encourage sila na manghuli," Singson said.

"Wala dapat above the law,” he added.

Singson was on board the lead vehicle when they were flagged down on EDSA-Cubao. 

“Wala namang harang eh, nag-overtake lang sa bus lane, pero ganoon pa man hindi dapat gayahin; mali yun,” Singson explained. 

Singson said he was on his way to a television network for an interview when his two-car convoy was spotted traversing the bus lane. 

The drivers were issued tickets for bus lane violation, an offense which carries a fine of P5,000. —NB, GMA Integrated News
