Traffic Enforcer Allegedly Refused To Prioritize Emergency, Baby Dies

BABY – A cruel traffic enforcer in Sorsogon allegedly refused to prioritize an emergency leading to the death of a baby.

Amid the 2019 novel coronavirus pandemic in the Philippines, cops, soldiers, and traffic enforcers are deployed at checkpoints. It is a precautionary measure to prevent the further spread of the virus from Wuhan City, China.

Sadly, there are still lots of people and motorists who disobey the “enhanced community quarantine.” The Philippine National Police (PNP) enforced stricter measures to further combat these ECQ violators.
