‘Wangwang’ back in fashion

He made all the motorists stop so that the convoy could pass.—Anonymous

    isa lang ang solusyon sa wang wang, bigyan karapatan ang mga tao na batuhin sa ulo ang mga gumagamit ng wangwang, pati na rin yung mga kotse na merong anti carnap sound, madaanan lang ng tao nag wawangwang na, sakit sa tainga! mga hayupak!

    Yang Noynoy na yan, kunwari lang naman ang NO WANG WANG. He travels with an entourage of around 8 or more police security riders plus back-up cars. I’ve seen him stop traffic many times. So actually PAPOGI lang yung speech niya.

    In fairness, he’s allowed to use wangwang. Top 5 officials are allowed. Nakakainis lang ang ka plastikan niya.

    “Wangwang” Fashion in the provinces

    The “wangwang” practice is not confined to the metropolis alone. It is very much evident in the provinces like the City of San Fernando (Pampanga), and continuously tolerated even by the provincial government. The most common violators are members of the PNP who seem not to have an iota as to what specific practices of good leadership must be emulated from the President. While it is normal for personnel belonging to the security and defense industry to render (armed escort) services to select officials, does anyone have the liberty of time and patience to constantly remind these people to be discreet, and at certain times be disciplined motorists, “lalo na pag wala namang dapat i-escort pero wangwang pa rin ng wangwang”. Paging PNP Chief Gen. Bartolome…..
