Bill filed requiring people to fall in line
“This bill adheres to the ‘anti-wang-wang’ (anti-sense of entitlement or privilege) policy of the administration as it prohibits the use of any position of power, social status, prominence or reputation to cut in, break up, or disrupt the order of a line,” said party-list Representatives Christopher S. Co and Rodel M. Batocabe (Ako Bicol).
The two said their House Bill 3953, or “An Act Penalizing the Act of Cutting in Line, Breaking Lines, and Other Related Acts and for Other Purposes,” is aimed at institutionalizing the model behavior of President Benigno Aquino III, who does not seem to mind standing in line and waiting his turn despite being the most powerful person in the country.
The proposed law will “enforce peace and order and instill the values of timeliness, courteousness, discipline, patience and respect,” they said.
