MMDA launches Transparency Governance Wall
June 14, 2013 | 12:16pm
MANILA, Philippines - The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority on Friday inaugurated its internal set of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, dubbed as the MMDA Transparency Governance Wall.
"The Transparency Governance Wall is a set of 48 CCTVs installed in the MMDA main building, operational 24/7 which will monitor the daily activities of our Offices. It will also strengthen the security in the building," MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino said.
Areas covered by the CCTVs include the Agency’s Traffic Engineering Center, Traffic Adjudication Division, Traffic Discipline Office, and Office of the Chairman.
A widescreen television is installed in the lobby area of the MMDA building which displays the feed of the CCTV cameras for public viewing during office hours.
"Our main objective is transparent governance and accountability. We want the general public to know that all our officials and personnel are performing their duties in an open manner. This is part of our anti-corruption efforts and to ensure effective delivery of public service,†he added.
He said that it is also a security measure as the CCTVs not only capture footage but record them as well.
The agency also inaugurated early this month the MMDA Traffic Mirror, which makes available the traffic situation in major roads online.
