MMDA’s Go suspended from clearing ops after viral incident with teacher

Gabriel Go, head of the MMDA's Special Operations Group – Task Force for Road Clearing, was suspended from participating in road-clearing operations after a viral incident where he confronted a school teacher for riding a motorcycle without a helmet. The confrontation, captured in a video shared on Go's Facebook page, sparked mixed reactions online, with some supporting Go's enforcement of safety rules and others criticizing his approach as overly harsh. The MMDA acknowledged the incident, launched an investigation into Go's conduct, and temporarily halted his involvement in clearing operations until the results are available. Go defended his actions, emphasizing that all individuals, including teachers, must comply with traffic laws, as educators set an example for students. Opposition figures, such as ACT Teachers Party-list Rep. Antonio Tinio, have publicly called for Go's removal from his position.
