Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort.

MAYPAJO, Caloocan City — In the latest news, cables of the closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras used for the no-contact apprehension policy (NCAP) in Makati City were stolen by unidentified suspects, apparently as an indication of disdain against the policy being implemented by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).
A video footage showed a suspect tampering with CCTV cameras attached to a footbridge along EDSA-Guadalupe on June 20 and later, the authorities found that the cables attached to them were missing.
According to MMDA chairman Atty. Romando Artes, up to five minors are suspected to have been involved in the extraction of the cables. Still, Artes dismissed suspicion that the suspects resent the NCAP, which utilizes CCTVs to catch motorists violating traffic rules.
And now the MMDA is eyeing to install some 1,200 more NCAP cameras by year's end.
The putting up of CCTV cameras may seem easy for the experts but in the case of the MMDA, “what’s slowing it down is the installation of the fiber optics."
Artes cited that they are no longer using the wireless broadband because the feed can lag and compared to them, the MMDA's NCAP cameras provide clear image since it’s not pixelizing due to the fiber optic.
Turns out the agency is using the latest technology. Still, may we ask if those who stole the CCTV cables properly identified already? It's gonna be a huge joke (and really frustrating) if the cameras were not able to capture the images of the suspects as they committed their dastardly deed!
