I rarely drive myself. The traffic condition in cebu has turned somewhat unbearable for my taste or I'm just getting older.

Anyhow, about a couple of nights ago, I did drive at around 8:00PM to pick-up my family at SM and boom! There it is, a gov't owned vehicle waiting in the parking area of SM with me.

Then I saw another one... Then another... I'm sure you all have been seeing them as well, haven't you?

So yeah, these vehicles our ours - the people. We pay for each trip, everything. And of course, our so called "public servants" are there as if they owned these when they bought their way to what they think is "power" instead of servitude.

Anyhow, here's an article on how to report these scumbags:

Ombudsman warns on use of gov’t vehicles

Philippine Daily Inquirer 8:59 pm | Monday, April 2nd, 2012

If you see government vehicles being used for personal purposes during the Holy Week vacation, please report to the Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas.
Pelagio Apostol, Deputy Ombudsman for Visayas, said in a statement that government officials and employees should refrain from using their service vehicles in their out-of-town vacations.
The erring public servants and those without trip tickets might be considered liable under various laws, including Republic Act No. 3019 (Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act), R.A. 6713 (Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees), Revised Administrative Code of the Philippines, Commission on Audit (COA) circulars, Government Accounting and Auditing Manual, and other executive issuances.
Under COA rules, the use of government vehicles is only allowed for official business and should be authorized by a “trip ticket.” The ticket contains the destination, purpose and duration of travel.
All government vehicles should also be clearly marked with the name and location of the office, corporation and agency.
The rules bar the use of the vehicles for personal use of officials and their families or friends, including bringing their spouse or children to office and school.
The Ombudsman-Visayas has created an interagency task force on “Oplan Red Plate” with the COA, Civil Service Commission, Land Transportation Office, Philippine National Police and the Philippine Information Agency.
It will be monitoring the use of public vehicles that might be used for personal purposes by public officials and employees during the Lenten vacation and on April 9 (Araw ng Kagitingan), also a nonworking holiday.
The government loses at least P9 million weekly on government vehicles used for unofficial purposes nationwide, according to the Ombudsman-Visayas statement.
The Ombudsman-Regional Office has appealed to the public to report any misuse of government vehicles. Information including the vehicle’s plate number, color and type, place and time where the vehicle was spotted could be reported to the interagency task-force (09178898662) and Ombudsman (09155391957).

Make sure if you will report they violated a certain COA rules... Not all travelling at night of government vehicle is not Official Travel.. As mostly known buy public, that government office is only operating 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, but not all.. There are certain circumstances that these vehicles are used is some other emergency concerns and issues relevant to the mandate of the Office...

But if these government vehicles were overused by certain government employees for personal purpose late at night or day without Official Travel Order then its the time to address this issue to the respondent.

Naa na sa driver boss ang trip ticket, kay mao man na pangitaon sa guard before mogawas sa gate sa office, signed by the Official head of Office.. Naa pud uban driver adto ra sa ilaha i park ang government vehicle labi na if dunay sayo nga byahe or dunay sugaton nga official sa Airport unya sayo sa buntag...
Depende ra pud na sa head sa Office kung tugotan ipadala ang sakyanan sa balay... But if this government vehicle are used during Sunday for Family outing that's another issue...
