NEARLY P2 million in fines were collected by the Davao City Police Office (DCPO) as it continues to strengthen its operation against bora-bora (modified mufflers) motorcycles and other traffic violations.
DCPO chief Col Alberto Lupaz said they generated a total of P1,706,799 from apprehended violators as of Oct. 14.
The police collected P41,700 from the 63 issued CTC/TOP citations and P45,000 for temporary operator’s permits (TOPs) for bora-bora motorcycles.
Also, the DCPO launched 385 operations in connection to RA 4136 where officers issued 213 TOPs and collected a total of P438,499 in fines.
