Netizen Nathaniel Tolentino aired his complaint against a traffic enforcer on Aurora Boulevard going Cubao who reportedly forced him to surrender his driver’s license after allegedly beating the red light.
According to Tolentino, the traffic enforcer who wasn’t in uniform failed to show his mission order.
In a Facebook post made on June 20, Tolentino revealed that the angry traffic enforcer suddenly pulled out his motorcycle key after he pulled over to speak with him.
Tolentino then asked for the traffic enforcer’s mission order to which the traffic enforcer replied: “Anong mission order ha ?! *%$^ sa gera lang yang mission order na yan akin na lisensya mo!!”
(What mission order? *%$^ mission orders are only for wars. Give me your license!)
Because the traffic enforcer failed to show his mission order, Tolentino refused to surrender his driver’s license. Aside from failing to present his mission order, Tolentino noticed that the traffic enforcer wasn’t in his uniform. This prompted to Tolentino to ask the traffic enforcer who was wearing shorts and slippers if he was on duty.
The traffic enforcer told Tolentino: “Bakit ang NBI nga hindi nag uuniform pag may hinuhuli?”
(NBI agents don’t wear uniforms when they’re arresting someone.)

Here are some of photos of the traffic enforcer which Tolentino posted on his Facebook account.
According to the MMDA website, traffic enforcers must have written mission orders issued by the MMDA central administration. The mission order contains a traffic enforcer’s responsibility, official function, time of duty, and indicates whether or not they are authorised to issue tickets.
Beating the red light is not included in the traffic apprehensions allowing traffic enforcers to confiscate a driver’s license. Apprehended drivers may ask traffic enforcers to present their mission orders.
Moreover, traffic enforcers must only issue traffic violation receipts (TVR) in complete uniform with visible nameplates.
