Ah, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has spoken! Apparently, it’s perfectly “normal” to extend courtesy to VIPs by gifting them exclusive access to public roads. Because, you know, regular citizens’ time and convenience are worth far less than those of the VIPs, who are apparently so important that they can bring the entire metropolis to a standstill without consequence.

In a land where traffic jams are as common as daily sunrises, it’s a breath of fresh air to see our public servants valiantly prioritizing the elite’s schedules over the plebeian masses. Who needs efficient public transportation and well-maintained roads when you can have gridlock and chaos?

And it’s not like they’d ever tell us who these mysterious VIPs are, whose time is worth more than our own. But who needs transparency when we have VIPs to cater to? After all, it’s perfectly “normal” to keep the masses in the dark while the chosen few glide through traffic with all the grace and swiftness of entitled peacocks.

In the meantime, the traffic officer who was most likely just following orders from supervisors has been relieved, and the police is looking to file charges against the person who uploaded the video.

Bravo, MMDA, bravo!
