TRAFFIC enforcers of the Dagupan City Public Order and Safety Office (POSO) have been ordered not to greet motorists with usual Christmas and New Year greetings openly lest their gestures are interpreted to mean they are  soliciting cash gifts.

Arvin Decano, POSO Dagupan chief said the order was issued to prevent an image that the Dagupan POSO personnel are in for the “kotong”.

“Iniiwasan nila na isipin ng mga tao na sila ya nanghihingi ng pamasko“, said Decano in an interview.

Decano, however, clarified that the POSO personnel can and should respond to greetings.

POSO Dagupan is not the only agency in Dagupan told not to initiate greetings as other government agencies and departments are ordered to comply with the same policy.

Decano further added that POSO personnel have been instructed to direct traffic effectively because vehicle volume has doubled due to the holiday season. (Ahikam Pasion)
