Bakit Ko Po Kailangan Pumunta sa East Ave. Para Kuhanin Ang Lisesnsya Ko?
I surveyed 10 friends and 9 out of 10 of them agreed that their main motivation to bribe a traffic enforcer is to avoid the hassle of going through the process of getting your license back. First and foremost, for most cases, you have to go to East Ave. in Quezon City to go through your punishment and claim your license. And with the red tapes of bureaucracy, incentives are created for fixers thus creating another motivation of going around the law.
Which brings me to my main question: ano nga po ba ang rationale kung bakit kailangan sa East Ave. ko kunin ang aking lisensya?
Ako po ay nahuli sa C5 toll gate sa kasong "obstruction". Hindi po ako nag-bribe (to be honest, wala kasi talaga akong pera noon). But, again, why is it that I have to go to East Ave? There are 3 LTOs near my area: Susana Heights, Alabang Town Center, and Las Pinas.
Masyado na pong 90's ng term na "computerized"; "cloud" na po ang gamit ng mga tao ngayon. Hindi po kaya pwedeng ma-integrate natin ang iba't ibang LTO at iba pang ahensya sa pamamagitan ng "cloud" upang hindi na kailangang mapalayo ang mga nagkasala sa batas pang-trapiko? Hindi lang po ito sa hassle. As mentioned from my survey, this could decrease the motivation for bribery.
There are merits to decentralization. This is something I've reiterated in my blog over and over. There are merits to using technology -- in fact, it is inevitable for technology, if we allow it to freely flourish, to curb the unnecessary red tapes and abusive power of the government as a whole -- not just LTO.
On the video below, British prime minister David Cameron shows several case studies on how different governments are using technology to abolish unnecessary red tapes, bureaucracies, and government spending. "How do we make things better without spending more money?" he asks:
Technology and a bit of common sense could actually streamline government red tapes, limit corruption, and take money and power away from the government and give them back to the people.
At dahil po "computerized" na ang LTO, I see no reason why this process has to be centralized and monopolized by East Ave. LTO.
I'm no expert in Philippine public administration or what laws require this frustrating need to go to East Ave. If you do have the rationale or any related information please do let me know. What do you think?

Nahuli din ako dati sa C-5 tollgate. Sabi sa East Ave. ko kunin. 'Pag punta kong East Ave. 'di nakita license ko kaya nag-apply ako ng panibago.
ReplyDeleteIlang beses na ako nahuli at puro honest mistake. Sa lahat ng huli isang beses lang ako naglagay. Yung iba nakuha ko sa pakiusap. Advantage din na Laguna yung nasa address ko at alam nilang malayo yun kaya papakawalan na lang ako. Hassle lang talaga matapat sa traffic enforcer na mukhang pera.
ReplyDeleteNakakalungkot lang isipin kung bakit takot na takot ang mga empleyado ng gobyerno na mag-uprade ng kanilang sistema. Either takot silang mawalan ng trabaho due to redundancy or takot sila dahil di na sila makakakurakot dahil mawawala na sila sa proseso.
ReplyDeletepero oo katulad ng karamihan, naglagay ako or nakiusap. hassle rin kasi talaga.
