Makati suspends anti-smoke belching unit due to abuse allegations

It’s a good thing that the mayor believed that when there’s smoke, there’s fire.

“The Makati City government has ordered the suspension of its anti-smoke belching operations following complaints against abusive enforcers who take advantage of the program and allegedly extort money from motorists,” reports Anna Liza Villas in the Manila Bulletin.

Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin S. Binay issued the suspension order on anti-smoke belching operations due to several complaints posted on the city’s social networking sites. Binay has directed Atty. Eleno Mendoza, the Makati City administrator, to conduct a thorough investigation of the complaints.
