MANILA, Philippines – Agrarian Reform Secretary Conrado Estrella III ordered the dismissal of a contract of service (COS) worker who attempted to evade traffic enforcers after being flagged for a traffic violation in Quezon City.
Russel Smith, an Administrative Staff IV, reportedly even dropped Estrella’s name to avoid penalties when he was caught illegally parking along Timog Avenue and tried to flee instead of presenting his driver’s license on Thursday.
