I was glad the DENR roadside smoke tests are being conducted!

EDSA Crossing |  April 16, 2013

I saw that DENR guys were doing their job at the corner of EDSA/Shaw Blvd.  Most of the vehicles being stopped were old dilapidated buses.  Thank you guys for helping lessen air pollution.

But these buses should not have been fielded in the first place.  They should have checked at the registration stage where emission tests are being conducted.

Thank you guys.

Which brings me to another point.  About vehicle registration.  In the registration expense estimate there was P450.00 for SOP on top for smoke emission test.  And the driver told me that the SOP is to allow the test to pass.

What do you think? Should I come across the SOP?
