ILOILO City – Mayor Jerry P. Treñas has again warned traffic aides not doing their job.
Information reached him that some traffic aides were not actively managing the traffic but merely apprehending traffic violators.
The city government’s traffic personnel are all under the Public Safety and Transportation Management Office (PSTMO).
“I want all traffic aides on the streets help manage the traffic and not only find fault, or they would be suspended for two weeks,” Treñas warned.
He also called out traffic aides seeking shelter under trees or sheds instead of directing the flow of vehicles.
“Similar offenses will merit dismissal from the service,” said Treñas.
The city mayor urged the public to help him by taking pictures of non-performing traffic aides and send these to the Facebook page of the city government.
In October last year, Treñas warned traffic aides following complaints of alleged corruption.
“The city government does not tolerate wrongdoing but (there must be a) complaint. I am ready to terminate any traffic aide found guilty of corruption,” he said, adding that, “These traffic aides will be made to explain and dismissed from the service.”/PN
