• MMDA (Traffic Engineering)
What I learned:
• I learned that MMDA center provides great facilities to monitor traffic around metro manila, and it is very unbelievable to see this facilities working and is well-maintained by the personnel. They have CCTV cameras installed in each corners around metro manila with a high quality image output that even a farthest plate number of a car can be retrieved. They also showed to us some of the recorded highway disasters, traffics and some incidents. They said, MMDA performs planning, monitoring and coordinative functions, and in the process exercise regulatory and supervisory authority over the delivery of metro-wide services within Metro Manila without diminution of the autonomy of the local government units concerning purely local matters.
I learned that their agency is headed by a Chairman, who is appointed by the President and continues to hold office at the discretion of the appointing authority. He is vested with the rank, rights, privileges, disqualifications, and prohibitions of a cabinet member.
The Chairman is assisted by a General Manager, an Assistant General Manager for Finance and Administration, an Assistant General Manager for Planning and Assistant General Manager for Operation, all of whom are appointed by the President with the consent and concurrence of the majority of the Council, subject to civil service laws, rules and regulations. They enjoy security of tenure and may be removed for cause in accordance with law.
The Assistant General Manager for Planning should have not less than five years extensive experience in development and planning or must hold a master's degree in urban planning or similar disciplines.
What I liked:
• I liked the setup of their monitors which is very convenient for everyone to see if there is any vehicular incident that is happening.
What I don’t liked:
• I don’t like the part where we were tour inside and database area, which is very narrow that we couldn’t fit inside it.
