Media personality Ben Tulfo of “Bitag” fame has chosen a side between Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) traffic czar Edison Bong Nebrija and Riders’ Safety Advocates of the Philippines (RSAP) founder Bonifacio Bosita when it comes to the back-rider slippers controversy. Well, sort of.

In his program, Tulfo acknowledged the raging online debate between the followers of Nebrija and Bosita on the subject, and claimed that his own followers have been prodding him to comment of it.
“Ang sinasabi ng mga tao, ‘Anong masasabi mo dito, Boss Ben?’ Ako ang simpleng masasabi ko dito, ang pagbabasehan dyan ay yung batas. Respeto lang dito konti doon sa mga nagpapatupad ng batas (The people have been saying, ‘What can you say about this, Bpss Ben?’ My simple take on this is, the basis should be the law. Let’s give some respect to those who are enforcing the law),” he said.

However, lawyer Vic Trinidad, Director III of the MMDA’s Metropolitan Public Safety Office said the unnamed enforcer would have to do it on his own, as a private citizen.
“Iniimbestigahan po namin kung tama po ang naging procedure nung ating enforcer at tsaka yung pong kaso na maaari niyang i-file laban po doon sa mga naka-argrabyado po sa kanya (We will investigate whether or not our enforcer followed the correct procedure, as well as the case that he can file against those who aggrieved him),” Trinidad said in a recent radio interview.
“Siya na po ang bahala na mag-file kasi private po yung aspeto ng bagay na yun (It will be up to him to file because that aspect is private),” he added.

Riders’ Safety Advocates of the Philippines (RSAP) founder and retired police colonel Bonifacio Bosita isn’t backing down in the raging online debate as to who between him and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) traffic czar Edison Bong Nebrija is correct.
For those who don’t know, the triggering incident between these two men was the supposed wrongful apprehension of a motorcycle-riding couple along EDSA last March 5 by an MMDA traffic enforcer. The violation? The back-rider wore slippers instead of shoes.
