A Picture of Something I Dislike

I hate these fuckers who block the vehicles on the road for mandatory carbon emission tests.
In my opinion, wala naman talaga silang naidudulot na maayos kahit kanino.
I just hate the system that permits them to conduct all these shit, I mean, puro perwisyo lang naibibigay nila actually.

Take that picture above. I was riding a PUV Jeep off to somewhere just a few meters away from school for lunch, then these bastards show up.

They asked our jeep to pull over; they made the driver wait for like 3 minutes I guess. Then one of them bastards sat on the driver's seat, placed the transmission shifter on neutral and floored the gas while some shitty equipment is hooked on the exhaust pipe.

Well, what would you expect from a low-maintained, diesel-engined PUV? It's not driven by some hot shot dude that has all the time and money to make it free from all those carbon emissions. And for fucks sake, it was floored to high rev that even a retard can "geniusly" predict that a shitload of smoke will come off them pipes.

The bastards then signed a piece of paper then I saw the driver handed them some money like 500 pesos. The piece of paper was like a receipt, I guess.

I mean seriously, did they make the roads less pollution-free? These fuckers are just making money. Poor jeepney driver, imbis na maiuuwi niya sa bahay yung pera para ipang-bayad sa mga gastusin ng pamilya, napunta pa sa mga hinayupak na tao ng munisipyo (or ewan ko kung san nanggaling yung mga yon). Wala naman talaga nagagawa yung "Campaign" nila for a cleaner air. While our jeepney is on the side of the road for minutes, I saw other vehicles passing by with the same amounts smoke commin off them exhaust pipes... Parang walang utak nagpapairal nung ganong sistema.

So, base sa aking naranasan, eto ang mga bunga ng "Clean Air Campaign" nila:
1. Tumanga ang pasahero at nag antay. Ako nga the usual 3 minute ride to the place I'm headed to took me more than 15 minutes ata, asar. Naabala ako in short.

2. Nabawasan ang i-uuwing pera ni manong driver. Pang dag-dag sana sa matrikula ni Junyor.

3. Easy money para sa munisipyo o sa kung sino mang kontraktor na nagmamay-ari nung Emission test equipment na yan

4. Mausok pa rin ang mga tambutso ng mga sasakyan sa lansangan.

Lintik na sistema to. Bakit kasi di na lang ipaubaya sa mga regulatory bodies yung mga bagay na yan? Wala bang ganyan sa LTO? Bakit di nila pwedeng sabihin na para maging "road-worthy" ang isang sasakyan, dapat pumasa ito sa gagawin nilang emissions inspection na pwede naman isabay sa regyular na renewal ng rehistro? Or kung ginagawa na nga nila yun, bakit ang dami pa rin pina-para nitong mga bastardo na to para kuhanan ng pera?

Ang nangyayari kasi, tumatakbo pa rin ang mga mauusok na sasakyan; or sisingilin nga nila ng penalty, pero mausok pa rin. Ano ba yan.

Ang pangit ng sistema. Sana maayos na to, sana.

Anyway, enough of that. Haha! Random stupid rant nanaman from me.
Bwisit kasi e, haha! So, ayan, a picture of something I dislike (and a rant about it). haha!

  1. Sa emission and even sa mga MMDA/pulis/etc nanghuhuli sa daan is mostly a one-in-a-thousand type of regulation. It doesn't change much but it prevents people from being careless enough because they might get caught in that one-in-a-thousand thing. For example kung coding ka ang liit lang ng chances na mahuhuli ka pero since may chance na maliit instead of zero, you will still avoid going out on your coding day.

    Ngayon, dun naman sa mga LTO offices at testing centers: actually ang mga malalaking offenders sa emission at registration, at even traffic violations ay hindi rehistrado. Walang licensya. Hindi nag aral. Marami hindi marunong mag basa. 9/10 chances ang mga talagang problema sa daan may problema sa licensya, rehistro, kotse, etc. Never naman sila pupunta sa LTO or emission test. So hindi talaga representative ng lahat ng kotse sa daan ang registration ng kotse. Actually, kung walang nanghuhuli sa daan. Wala na siguro mag rerehistro ng kotse.

    May tumama sa naka park kong kotse na motor dati. Wala lisensya. Walang rehistro. Walang insurance. Walang pera. Lasing pa. Anong gagawin mo? Kukunin mo lisensya? Wala nga. Tatanggalan mo ng rehistro? Wala rin. Kakausapin mo? Lasing nga e. Haha.

    Do I want them around? No. Pero andyan talaga yan para hindi nalang lahat ng tao smoke belcher at gago sa daan.
