MMDA chairman vows action on Go's viral road rage incident

MMDA Chairman Don Artes vowed disciplinary action against MMDA Special Operations Group Task Force head Gabriel Go following a viral road rage incident involving a Quezon City cop.

A show cause order has been issued to Go as part of the investigation into allegations of abuse of authority.

Go publicly apologized to Quezon City Police Captain Erik Felipe for his behavior, stating, "Emotions should not be placed in our heads."

Go also clarified that the viral video of the confrontation did not come from him, but from a vlogger who regularly tags along with the MMDA during road clearing operations.

The vlogger, Dada Koo, is also facing a criminal complaint for cyberlibel for posting an "edited" video of the encounter.

Senator JV Ejercito and NAPOLCOM commissioner Rafael Vicente Calinisan criticized Go's actions, though Ejercito agreed the police officer should have been ticketed for illegal parking.

Artes described Go as a "good man and a dedicated MMDA enforcer" but emphasized that mistakes have consequences.
