Cebu City Transportation Office (CCTO) head Raquel Arce has denied claims made by a former traffic enforcer that he was allegedly dismissed from service for failing to meet a supposed “quota.”

Arce clarified that the CCTO has no quota policy, but follows an “individual performance target” system.

Mayor Nestor Archival likewise denied issuing any directive requiring traffic personnel to meet quotas to keep their jobs. He said he would not comment on complaints that have not been formally filed and only surfaced on social media, but encouraged concerned employees to file their grievances properly.

According to Archival, there is no such directive under his administration, and he sees no need to investigate further.

“Kay og unsay sakto mao ra gyud nay buhaton. Kaysa manakop kag di angay dakpon aron managhan, that’s not fair,” Archival said.

He added that the CCTO could not impose such a policy without his approval, noting that the agency’s guidelines are set by the Traffic Management Council (TMC), which has no provision for quotas.
