    Based on the issued memorandum, MMDA personnel are reminded of their duties to the public, especially traffic enforcers tasked to apprehend motorists committing traffic violations.

    Meanwhile, Artes ordered MMDA Traffic Discipline Office (TDO) Director of Enforcement Atty. Victor Maria Nuñez to penalize Ordoña through traffic citation tickets for his violations.

    "The MMDA is mandated to strictly implement traffic rules and regulations. Hence, we should lead by example," Artes said.

    Further, Artes reminded all employees to refrain from engaging in any unlawful activity.

    "Violators will not only be issued the corresponding citation ticket but could also face administrative sanctions such as suspension and outright dismissal for contract of service personnel," the MMDA official noted.

    "If proven guilty, we will file the necessary administrative charges, whether permanent, casual, or on job order status, subject to applicable rules and regulations."
