Why do the Philippine police need beautiful traffic controllers (4 photos)

Not to give the system a "pretty face", not for the sake of gender equality at work, but from a purely practical point of view. Because Manila has terrible traffic, perhaps the worst in Asia. And beauties suddenly help to somehow combat this chaos.





How beautiful girls help against accidents

The police said that the women are there to relieve stress in drivers stuck in traffic. And so that drivers would be ashamed to violate traffic rules and drive onto the side of the road or into the lane in front of beautiful women.

The news report quotes the country's traffic chief as saying:

"They're not just like any other cop, they're like models. They're really pretty. They really attract attention."



Traffic police wear pretty helmets

That sounds crazy. You haven't heard how they select these female cops yet, they select them based on the criteria of "looking like a pretty girl that every man would want to date."

The sexism in this policy is astounding, but unfortunately, it's nothing new in the Philippines. In his speeches, President Rodrigo Duterte (the previous one, now Bongbong Marcos) constantly humiliated women in his public appearances, he booed female journalists, kissed women on the lips, bragged about his past relationships. He also often commented on the appearance of the female vice president. And no one is going to revise the age of consent at 12.

In general, he did wild things against which no one could even open their mouth.





He is an extremely unpleasant person, he said that his wife is sick, that's why he got a second one...

And although such behavior is condemned, water wears away a stone, and Duarte is slightly eroding public morality in the country. So it became possible to openly declare in the media that women are recruited into the police for their beauty, so that men will stare at them at intersections, although this is quite humiliating.

After all, police officers should be valued for their work in maintaining order on the road, and not for how they look. Society stubbornly turns somewhere wrong, and now the president has changed, but the "consequences" of loose speeches and attitudes towards the problem still cannot be washed out of Philippine society.



Such a perky policewoman!
