Two MMDA bribery in Just One Night

Last night I, with a friend, went to SM Megamall to buy some laptop accessories. The traffic was so heavy. It took me 1 hour from Makati to get to Ortigas. At around 8:15, In EDSA front of Megamall A, the bus lanes' traffic was not heavy so I switched lanes in order to prepare for a right turn going to parking lot. As my view hit the MMDA officers at the right, I saw one waving at me, asking me to stop. I asked the violation, he said driving on a bus lane. He asked for my license and car registration. I switched on the lights to find the registration but then it wasn't there. The MMDA officer told me that this violation will cost me Php350 upon claiming and 200 for not bringing the registration. I was waiting for the ticket but  the officer kept asking me the same question over and over again, "O ano na gagawin natin ngayon?". He asked me to turn off the lights so I turned off the headlights pero hindi pala un ang ibig sabhin nya. He was asking me to turn off the light inside the car, and that's when I noticed he was not intending  to give me ticket, but he was implying something else, DINERO-OKANE-MONEY-PERA. Well in my part that's quite an advantage coz it will relieve me of the hassle of going to Guadalupe to claim it. Then I said it, "pwede po ba bayaran ko na lang yung fine?". That's when the MMDA officer put a smile. Then he said, "Bale php500". I didn't have that much money so I haggled, "Bka po pwede 350 na lang?". He said, "O sige". I gave him 350 pero napalaki yata ang bigay ko. The MMDA officer said, "May pera ka pa ba?". I said "wala na po akong pambili ng pagkain". Naawa rin cguro sya sa kin or bka standard na ang 200 so he just gave back my 150. After that I drove as quickly as possible.

Around 9:45pm I got out of the parking lot and my was was going to makati. I was so scared the same thing would happen. I was so careful I didn't go to the bus lanes. Pero as I approached robinsons galleria, I remembered there was no U-turn slot except the one in fron of Robinsons. I looked for offcers but I saw no one because there were so many buses blocking my view. There! After turning right I saw a bunch of them catching so many "violators". I saw one waving at me, AGAIN! He asked me where I was going. I said I need a U-turn slot. i asked my violation, he said alanganing na ang pag switch ko ng lanes. Sobrang magulo ang patakaran nila!!! Just a few meters away kung saan ako nahuli bawal sa bus lanes. Pero dun sa part na un pwede na??? WHAT am I supposed to do. I was so confused na di ko alam kung saan ako pupunta para maka U-turn kasi nga may part na bawal at may part na hinde??? I really hate those MMDA. IMAGINE it was around 10pm at may nanghuhuli pa!!! Ayun hindi na ko naghintay pa, sabi ko na bka pwede kong bayaran na lang. Mejo matigas tong isang to kasi gusto 350. 150 na alng money ko at that time so sabi ko bka pwede 200 na lang After some negotiations ayun pumayag din at nanghiram pa ko sa friend ko ng 50. That 400 pesos I paid to those morons was my last money 2 days before pay day. Umuwi tlaga ako na Php18.00 ang perang natira. I really hate those kind of people. They're not just doing their job, they're over-doing it. I'm sure mas malaki pa ang kinikita nila sa kin. If they can catch let's say 10 cars (which is impossible kasi dami talaga nila nahuhuli) they can get as much as 2000, TAX FREE!!! Sana mahuli sila. Those people stay near Ortigas Station MRT. 2 groups sila dun. one in front of MEGA A, and one dun near the right turn going to ADB avenue. To those who will be able to read this and know where to report those bastards, please do so. I think they should be put to a big STOP! They don't deserve our money.
