Gabriel Go, the head of the MMDA Special Operations Group-Strike Force, might have gone overboard and lost his cool during a confrontation with a police captain in Quezon City. I’ve been following Go on YouTube for months, watching his clearing operations, and I can say he’s perfect for his position leading his group. In enforcing road laws, where many are bold even when they’re wrong, it’s only right to appoint an official who won’t back down, so Go is perfect for the job. Most violators know they’re in the wrong but are still bold…

Before joining the government, Director Aguilar was an OFW in Saudi Arabia and later started his own business in the Philippines. He also worked in the House of Representatives before being appointed by the first DMW Secretary, Susan “Toots” Ople,…
