Chiz absolutely deserves to be sanctioned for abusing protocol plates (mukhang pinanghatid ng bata sa international school). But just thought I'd address some issues related to this.

Landcruisers are practical for their use case. It's one of the few SUVs that you can fit with body armor and doesn't drive like an elephant because of its build, engine, and off-road capability. It could work with a Fortuner, but it'll be clunky. And yung interiors nya is a lot more luxurious than the Fortuner so it's also a quality-of-life reason.

And pwede ba, that's not your tax pesos at work. What he does with his salary as a politician is none of your business anymore (as long as he abides by his SALN) than customers have no say what you do with your salary despite them being the source of your income. At ang dami pwede pang-galingan ng pera pambayad dyan; may endorsements siya, has a rich wife, and dude also has a Benz GLC.

Also, unpopular opinion but I'm not a fan of pulling over ambulances sa bus lane. Mabuti sana they could identify kaagad in a second if the driver is faking it, pero hindi e. They would literally pull you over for 15-30 seconds trying to ascertain if legit trip nga. If that was an actual emergency, those precious seconds are crucial. I think this is one of those rare cases na the risks far outweigh the reward — abusive ambulances is worth putting up with than the possibility of someone dying. Kung may nagwa-wangwang na ambulansya sa likod ko, idgaf if it's just a kagawad and his mistress inside — tatabi ako 11 out of 10 times.
