Jaywalkers beware!With the intensified campaign by QC Department of Public Order and Safety (DPOS) along Commonwealth Avenue, your street crossing days are numbered. Either you use the appropriate foot bridges or run as fast as you can at the sight of a DPOS traffic enforcer.
Did you know jaywalking is a compound word, from the words jay (n. an inexperienced person) and walking? But apparently, most jaywalkers in this country know what they're doing. They know that they could get killed or apprehended. They just pretend they don't know.
Anyway, I thought of ten things that the DPOS could do as alternatives to the usual punishment being given to jaywalkers (aside of course from the classic National Anthem singing).
1. Shine shoes for DPOS traffic officers and other passersby.
2. Distribute leaflets containing warnings on jaywalking.
3. Command traffic for 2 hours complete with dancing moves.
4. Get tied to a traffic light post with a placard written, "Jaywalker po ako!"
5. Instead of the usual National Anthem, sing to tune of "Baby" by Justin Bieber.
6. Read the Bible out loud with a mobile loudspeaker in the middle of the footbridge.
7. Clean filthy canals and sewers at the Commonwealth Market.
8. Disperse sidewalk vendors along Commonwealth Avenue.
9. Do photocopying work at the QC City Hall.
10. Wash motorcycles and other patrol vehicles by DPOS Officers.
Commonwealth Avenue is just the start. More major thoroughfares to follow!
Oh my...Is this for real? Kinda scary. I'm guilty of this violation for like my whole pedestrian life eh! Sana kung implement ito, lahat dapat...executives or tambay sa kanto.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite ironic that the law has been in place for quite a while and yet the implementation is on-again, off-again.
