In the latest episode of “Rules for thee, but not for me,” former Ilocos Sur Chavit Singson, the epitome of humility and respect for traffic laws, graciously offered a hefty sum of ₽100,000 to MMDA traffic enforcers who had the audacity to cite him for casually cruising down the EDSA bus lane in his armored convoy. 

How noble of him to remind us that “no one should be above the law” while his own entourage gleefully violates it. 

While he claims the reward as an act of generosity to encourage lawfulness, skeptics can’t help but see it as a desperate attempt to scrub his tarnished image clean with a wad of cash. His benevolent gesture is about as convincing as a toupee in a hurricane, and MMDA should promptly decline his offer before their integrity gets bulldozed by his armored convoy of hypocrisy. 

Remember, folks, money talks, but it certainly doesn’t buy decency or respect for traffic rules.
