ang pwede lang gawin ng DENR to reduce emissions ay strict registration renewal process, hindi lang emissions test. daming kotse sa pinas na tinatanggalan ng catalytic converter para pogi ang tunog. dapat sa mga kotseng ganun nasa dashboard ang exhaust pipe.
totoo yan paps. pero if you ask me, unless we adopt emissions regulations ng CA or kahit 48-state, yung emission test now available dito will serve well.
ang problema kasi, e emissions test lang mismo e...
1. di talaga marunong mga personnel sa emission centres
2. the equipment is shoddy (i've seen centres na yung mga sensor is so old and fvcked up that i question the reliability of its reading)
3. bumagsak ka man, basta kilala yung centre, pwedeng mailusot. this explains why a lot of jeepneys and buses which would otherwise be off the road
are still in service.
meron pa nga dati na LTO Kawit refused to register my car, I think 2013 or 2012 ito, because my a/c daw is not legal, may mali daw. so i asked the lady who was
"inspecting" the car, and she pointed at random things in my engine bay na walang kinalaman sa a/c.
So i asked her again how it was illegal, wala naman siya sinagot na maayos. takte nakakabobo, as it turns out, gusto ata ng lagay. e pusa kako hindi na!
so i left the place, waited a day, then contacted my gf's brother who knew someone working at the same LTO office. I explained my situation, he offered to
do the registration, and I was able to get it registered without lagay or anything.
