Paul Gotiong, the recently appointed Cebu City Transportation Office (CCTO) deputy head for operations and spokesperson, has long been serving the community by doing volunteer work to address the traffic situation in the city.

The 44-year-old Gotiong said his experiences and learnings were the reasons as to why he grabbed the opportunity to work with CCTO at the height of the pandemic.

Gotiong is one of the founders of Cebu Heroes Road , a group of volunteers that aims to improve Metro Cebu roadways through education, support in traffic enforcement, and recommendation of sustainable traffic plans. Since 2013, Gotiong said he was able to experience what the life of a traffic enforcer is and at the same time learned what to do or how to make solutions for the worsening traffic situation.Gotiong, who is a freelance photographer had worked as general manager and consultant in hotels in the cities of Mandaue and Cebu prior to his embarkment last June 2020 to the CCTO.

“So daghang factors siya ba from init sa dalan, to the fumes, to the dangers of being ran over if ever, and plus mga drivers that you need to direct and control or discipline. So that’s one nga na realize namo nga dili man diay sayon mag traffic enforcer. Pero dako kaayo na siya og tabang sa realization also on how to help the situation,” he added.
