Albay 2nd district Rep. Joey Salceda believes he knows the reason why newbie 1-Rider Party-list made such a huge splash during the party-list race in the May 2022 elections.
According to the veteran solon, the frustrating if not downright unfair no-contact apprehension traffic policy in the Philippines promoted voters to catapult 1-Rider nominees to the House of Representatives.
“There is no such mechanism in the Philippines that is as accessible or as reassuringly fair to the drivers – especially to those who make a living out of being on the road. In many ways, the vacuum in the role of a municipal judge deciding a final penalty for traffic violations is filled by the ‘kotong’ traffic enforcer, with whom the driver can at least argue his case, negotiate a penalty, and resolve his record,” explained the Bicolano.
Arguably the surprise of the May 2022 party-list race, 1-Rider was next only to topnotcher ACT-CIS Party-list in terms of votes.
