QUEZON City, Philippines (Eagle News) — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority is planning to double the amount of fines for traffic violations to force motorists to comply with traffic rules and regulations.
MMDA officer in charge Tim Orbos believes that doubling the fees can be a very effective tool to deter and reduce road accidents in the metropolis.
