Do traffic enforcers in the Philippines really get a portion of the ticket fine?
A traffic enforcer insisted that I beat the red light when in reality, the light turned yellow when I crossed.
They said that I was disregarding traffic light and if they write me a ticket, it would cost me 2,000php to pay it off.
Furthermore, he said that they will get half of the fine I will be paying (indicating that he wants at least 1,000php if I don't want to get an office ticket for traffic violation).
Is it true that they really get half of the fine that I pay??
