Selective Enforcement is Not Justice... It is a Failure of Public Duty...
To the PNP, LTO, LTFRB, and MMDA:
Where was the same urgency, the same enforcement, and the same “rule of law” that ordinary Filipinos are subjected to every single day?
When a major thoroughfare like EDSA is obstructed, hundreds of thousands of commuters, workers, emergency vehicles, businesses, and motorists bear the consequences... Every hour of unnecessary gridlock translates into lost wages, delayed services, wasted fuel, and economic losses that affect people who had absolutely nothing to do with the event...
If a gathering intentionally blocks public roads without the proper legal authority or in violation of traffic regulations, then the law should be applied consistently—regardless of who is involved... The law cannot be strict for ordinary citizens yet conveniently flexible when the violators are politically influential or backed by powerful organizations...
The silence and apparent inaction of the agencies tasked with enforcing our traffic and public order laws send a dangerous message: that enforcement depends not on the law, but on who you are...
The Filipino people deserve better...
No religious organization, political movement, or influential group should be allowed to hold an entire metropolis hostage at the expense of millions who simply want to get to work, return home to their families, or conduct honest business... The rights of one group end where they begin trampling upon the rights of everyone else...
Freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, and freedom of expression are constitutional rights—but none of these freedoms grant a license to disregard public order, obstruct critical infrastructure, or unnecessarily burden fellow Filipinos who do not share the same beliefs or affiliations...
Public roads belong to the public—not to any single organization...
If permits were absent, if traffic laws were violated, or if public order was compromised, then accountability should follow through due process... If permits existed, then the public deserves transparency regarding the legal basis, the conditions imposed, and why the disruption was permitted on one of the country’s busiest highways on a regular workday that had no warnings nor any notice to the public...
Justice loses its meaning when it is enforced selectively...
In the years we did similar activities, we always chose Sunday… We made the mistake once because we listened to corrupted advice, but we never let ourselves be used again for personal agenda… We took accountability for our mistakes in the past…
When MRO does it’s activity on the streets, we do so with coordination, with permits, with utmost respect to commuters and motorists... We hold ourselves accountable, we marshal traffic, we ensure there is no total blockage, we do it on the least day we would cause people damage or harm, and we accept the consequences of our actions if any… Where and when was that present in today’s situation?
This is different… The intention was clear… This could have been done without disrespecting others as much as possible, but they did not show any of that today…
People did not get to work, those coming home are still stuck in traffic, deliveries were delayed, flights were missed, work and schools disrupted…
The Filipino people are watching, and they deserve institutions that uphold the law equally—not agencies that appear to choose when, where, and against whom the law applies...
Respect is earned… It is not an entitlement because you have “numbers”…
And for what? To protect an individual who has been BENDING, IGNORING, DISMANTLING, DISRESPECTING the laws himself?
We can respect your call for accountability… But to protect those with accountability for their actions is not just… It is harboring the people who share the same accountability you seek…
And that makes you a political tool as much as anybody else… YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS… WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS…
One’s word is not the absolute truth… It needs evidence, due process, cross examination, taking proof as material to the case, and looking at one’s self in the mirror…
Something that is clearly not present here…
