The management of the Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig issued a statement regarding an influencer who drove in the opposite direction of a one-way street.
A video was uploaded on Reddit with the title “Drunk driving in BGC,” showing a motorist with companions driving in BGC and entering the opposite direction of a one-way street.
In the video, the driver asked his companions about where to go, “Left or right?”
He turned left and one of his companions asked him, “Pwede bang kumaliwa dyan?”
The driver replied, “Pwede, pwede. Basta ako pwede.”
A BGC marshal flagged them down for going the wrong direction. His companions told him to use Waze as an excuse.
In a statement sent to Manila Bulletin, Bonifacio Global City said it “is aware of an incident that occurred in the early hours of September 23, 2024, at 7th Avenue, Bonifacio High Street.”
“A motorist intentionally drove in the opposite direction of a one-way street. The motorist came from 28th Street and turned left at 7th Avenue, upon which he was flagged down by a BGC Marshal, “ it said.
BGC said the driver was issued an ordinance violation ticket and it is coordinating with the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
“As of October 6, 2024, the driver has since been issued an ordinance violation ticket. BGC’s estate security team is also actively coordinating with the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to enforce appropriate apprehensions toward the violating motorist,” it said.
It added, “BGC is committed to upholding the safety and well-being of everyone in its vicinity. We will continue closely monitoring and coordinating with the local authorities to reach a swift resolution and vow to remain stringent in observing traffic rules and regulations to ensure such issues do not occur again within its grounds.”
