Traffic enforcers can get to any motorist's nerves while traversing the metropolis, especially when supposed "violations" are deemed questionable.
But despite their transgressions, these road watchmen detailed by the Metro Manila Development Authority deserve our respect, both as duly authorized enforcers and, well, as human beings. Like us, they're there to do their jobs (though some might disagree) as best they can.
Perhaps it is the negative public perception that led one irate motorist to assault a traffic enforcer who stopped him for blocking an intersection.
The incident was caught on tape by TV5's public service program "T3."
The clip, splattered on the web, drew a hue and cry.
Sympathy for enforcer
Comments on the TV5's online portal InterAksyon, mostly showed compassion for the traffic enforcer, named Saturnino Fabros.
