What would do if the traffic enforcers who try to apprehend you for traffic violation are the ones violating the traffic rules?
Early today as I was on my way to ATS to attend a forum, I saw these MMDA Traffic enforcers riding the motorbike with the passenger without a helmet. Their is a strict policy now that no one will be allowed riding a motorbike without wearing helmet for safety precaution. Five fatal motorbike accidents are happening daily according to reports and that triggers the implementation of this strict policy.
The driver of the taxi that I was riding cannot help but complain. "How can they expect motorists like me to follow the rules if the enforcers themselves are violating it?" he said. He has a point, but still, the rules are meant to be followed. Besides, it is for their (motorbike riders) safety also. We can complain for malpractices like this, but we cannot disobey the law.
As I was contemplating, I remember what my OTS (Old Testament Studies) professor once said during our class session, "The walls of God's kingdom is His His Law/commandments. If we follow God's commandments, we are under His sovereign protection. If we disobey, we are actually stepping out of His sovereign protection. Therefore, we do not belong to His kingdom." Filipinos are we are, we are bound to follow the law of the land, ordinary people and law enforcers alike.
