‘Mystery passengers’ to be deployed for enforcement of ‘no vaccine, no ride’ rule

[snoop1130]

 

MANILA, Philippines — If you’re taking public transportation, you may just find yourself seated next to a “mystery passenger” by Monday, when the Department of Transportation’s policy to ban unvaccinated people on public utility vehicles in Metro Manila takes effect.

 

The DOTr said Friday they will be deploying these mystery passengers in public transportation to check the enforcement of the “no vaccine, no ride” policy, which some transport groups have criticized for being impractical and violative of Filipinos’ right to mobility.

 

“This is to ensure that our drivers are following our policy even without the presence of uniformed enforcers,” DOTr Assistant Secretary Mark Steven Pastor said in Filipino in a press conference. “We will see how our program will be implemented on a daily basis without them knowing if there’s an enforcer or government official.”
