Bangsamoro sends traffic enforcers
COTABATO CITY — The Bangsamoro government and police have started sending deputized traffic law enforcement teams to rid the highways in the autonomous region of fake enforcers.
Bangsamoro Transportation and Communications Minister Paisalin P. Tago told reporters on Sunday the Bangsamoro Land Transportation Office and the police’s Regional Highway Patrol Group last week trained traffic management employees of the Cotabato City government as law enforcement deputies.
He said the Bangsamoro Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board and Police Regional Office-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region are supporting efforts to organize deputized traffic and vehicle regulation enforcement teams to operate in the six provinces and three cities of the region.
He added that the Ministry of Transportation and Communications-BARMM would seek the help of municipal and provincial governments in the region in its planned expansion of the program. — John Felix M. Unson
