I couldn't believe it as I was reading an article on the Philippine Star dated
Dec. 23, 2009 entitled "MMDA to restrain drunk drivers" that MMDA Gen.Mgr.
Robert Nacienceno said that there is no law yet in the Philippines penalizing drunk driving. Whaaat! Is this true? Unbelievable!

How could our brilliant lawmakers with their high salaries and millions in pork barrell have neglected passing a necessary law such as this! We all know that a motor vehicle in the hands of an intoxicated person becomes a deadly weapon and it's an almost daily news item of horrific accidents involving drivers na "nakainom". I never realized that in this country you can legally drive while drunk and you only get penalized when you figure in an accident. That's when you get charged with "reckless imprudence resulting in damage to property and/or homicide."

All decent law-abiding citizens should petition our lawmakers to pass a law right away criminalizing drunk driving to help prevent the numerous road fatalities cause by these mindless idiots who choose to drink and drive.
