#nbi hit

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has announced that jaywalkers with unsettled citation tickets will soon find themselves on the alarm list of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).

As a consequence, those names will prompt a "hit" when they apply for an NBI Clearance, delaying its release. A "hit" is a term used by the NBI if the applicant has the same or similar name with another person with a derogatory record. An NBI Clearance is required when a person is applying for a job or a government ID like a passport. "If we apprehend a jaywalker and he disregards the ticket, we can file charges for violating a local ordinance and forward his name to NBI," said Garcia.
