How I managed to talk my way out of a TICKET

10:57 PM
So, I just got back from a media launch in Pasig earlier this day when I got flagged by an officer of the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) when passing through The Circumferential Road 5 or C-5 Road going to Marcos highway and had to pull over to sort out the violation.
Beating the red light/Reckless driving, as what he had indicated.Actually, I followed a truck and ran a yellow.
Not the best decision ever made. Pleading "Not guilty" was the only choice for most of us. Denying was the best key for my freedom. I was having second thoughts on whether to bribe him or not. Thankfully , I decided on the latter. 

How did I argue my way out of it?
Well , apparently , I tried holding him off by transfixing him with a wide-eyed, appealingly innocent, begging gaze.
When he paused discussing to exclaim "Awww!" at my overwhelming cuteness, I counter attacked. No, seriously, I practically begged. My mind was a blur for some reason.
Too much on my mind that time that I wasn't thinking straight .
Kept telling me that I was sort of floating through outer space instead of driving. Blah, Blah.
Have decided on a powerful phrase , "Forgive me" , redundantly uttered , have worked like magic. Oh , I almost forgot, he discreetly gave me a piece of paper to put my uhm " donation" whatsoever. When corruption reigned! I should be the one to charge him with his actions. Tsk! Only in the Philippines. 

Lesson learned : DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE BUSY STREETS OF C5 ROAD. 
Those roads are swarming with traffic enforcers. You don't want to mess with them.
Regardless of what I claimed, a yellow light means I should prepare to stop not proceed through the light. Outrageously dangerous in any angle.
