Wang Wang,Blinkers,Sirens

Seeking to protect the lives of commuters and drivers while preventing misuse by public officials on Philippine roads, a proposed measure has been filed before the Senate prohibiting the indiscriminate use of emergency lights and audio accessories on motor vehicles.

Senator Joel Villanueva on Tuesday filed Senate Bill 2635, or the proposed Anti-Wang Wang Act, after President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. prohibited government officials and personnel from using sirens, blinkers, and other similar signaling devices to avoid traffic disruptions.

This prohibition also applies to the owner of the private motor vehicle, or a government official or personnel whom the vehicle has been assigned for use, or permits the use for the accessories.Section 5, meanwhile, prohibits the manufacture, import, distribution, sale, and promotion of emergency lights and audio accessories, except to volunteer firefighter organizations, private healthcare facilities, or organizations that will operate private ambulances.
