Abude said they have a system to trace those who have paid their citation or not.
Based on CTTMO’s system of apprehension, about 10 drivers have torn the citation tickets issued to them by an apprehending officer.
He said tearing off the tickets will not erase the liability.
"Bisan gision pa nila kay naa man tong original masulod gihapon kay ma encode gihapon tanan, "Abude told City Information Office.
Abude said that it will be a burden for a driver if their penalties accumulate so they must pay it accordingly.
"Ang panawagan nato kung naa sila'y violation is anyway sila man, wala ma'y nagsugo nila ana, personal man nila na kay wala sila'y disiplina so normal lang kay enforcer lang man ta. Ang violation makita sa enforcer nga naka-agi and naa ta'y police have almost 400 ka deputized police so maka-issue silag citation ticket. Kung dili nila bayaran karon tungod sa system makita na namo,” Abude said.
Abude, meanwhile, confirmed that their office has recently received unsavory comments due to the Facebook Page which was hacked by a confirmed "foreign" element.
He said the request to take down the Facebook Page is in process and even they cannot access it at the moment.
"I-take down na gyud siya, nga tanggalon siya, [mao na ang] request namo. Sa makakita dili na mao ang purpose. Ang uban nagapost na ug dili maayo nga mga comment. Gihimo man gud namo na in 2016 para makapahibalo sa katawhan kung naa sila'y mga mulo nga pwede nila ipaagi sa Facebook,” he said.
Currently, they are still in discussion whether to create a Facebook account or not as this is the first time they have faced a cybersecurity issue.
CTTMO uses other mediums for their announcements through radio and other alternative platforms.
