Senator Imee Marcos said that banning government officials from using “wang-wang” or siren and blinkers is “unrealistic” as foreign government visitors should not be waiting in the traffic.

“The use of sirens and other signaling device should not be banned outright but should be heavily regulated,” Marcos said.

“There are valid uses for these types of equipment,” she said.

The senator said that banning such use should be depending on the situation.

“Maganda naman yung outright ban sa ating wang-wang pero  para sa akin hindi makatotohanan yung outright dahil alam naman natin may mga okasyon, kung dumadaan ang presidente halimbawa ang mismong pangulo at kapag may bisita tayo na heads of state din galing sa labas alangan naman nating paghintayin  sa traffic. Huwag namang ganun,” Marcos said.

“Yung blanket authority naman, AFP, PNP, eh baka naman hindi emergency yon e siguro naman pwede ring i-fine tune yung pagkasulat,” she added.
