MMDA reprimands Go, orders training after parking incident

Gabriel Go will retain his position as head of the MMDA's Special Operations Group-Strike Force but was ordered to undergo a five-day training program focusing on traffic management, leadership, courtesy, and discipline.

MMDA Chairperson Don Artes announced this decision is not punitive but aimed at Go's self-improvement following an incident with Police Captain Erik Felipe over a parking violation in Quezon City.

The MMDA reprimanded Go for simple discourtesy during the confrontation and emphasized the importance of stress and anger management throughout his training led by Edison Nebrija from the Traffic Education Division.

An administrative complaint was filed against Go, leading to an apology issued on April 3, with the MMDA offering assistance in any legal proceedings related to the case.

The agency continues to remind traffic enforcers to exercise maximum tolerance and observe professionalism in all official dealings.

Following the viral video, the MMDA has also started prohibiting its employees and private individuals from vlogging, recording, or posting videos of its operations.
