The celebrity players and celebri-peeps were asked to weigh in on a question that continues to spark debate among Filipinos: Who should be blamed when traffic becomes unbearable — reckless drivers, the government, or traffic enforcers?
Team JohnMau, composed of John Feir and Maureen Larrazabal, pointed to traffic enforcers as the ones who should be held responsible when congestion worsens.
John compared traffic enforcers to directors who are responsible for managing what happens on the road.

"Kasi parang sa show 'yan. 'Pag sa show, mayroong direktor. Sa traffic, mayroong traffic enforcer na nagdidirek ng traffic," he explained.
He argued that drivers and the government should not automatically be blamed for every traffic situation, emphasizing the role of the person directing traffic on the road.
" 'Pag ma-traffic, sino ba dapat sisihin? 'Di naman pepwede 'yung driver [o] gobyerno. Kung sino 'yung nagdidirek na nasa daan, siya ang dapat sisihin!" John added.
Meanwhile, Team BarSa, consisting of Barbie Forteza and Sassa Gurl, believed the People leaned toward the government as the answer.
"Parang masyado silang maraming hugot sa gobyerno," Barbie said.
Sassa then explained why she believed ordinary Filipinos should not be the ones blamed for the situation.
"At tsaka 'di ba hindi natin dapat sisihin ang mga tao. Tao lang tayo, tsaka nararanasan lang naman natin ito na ginawa rin ng gobyerno."
Baus Rufo shared a similar position, saying the traffic problem goes beyond motorists simply being stuck on the road for hours. According to him, its effects extend to people's livelihoods, businesses, and time with their families.
"Kasi po ang traffic ay isang matalinhagang problema. Hindi lang po 'yan being stuck on the road for hours. Kasi ang traffic po mayroon po 'yan impacts sa mga trabaho, negosyo, sa nababawas na oras sa'tin sa mga pamilya natin. So ang pinaka-equipped na mag-solve ng problema na 'yan ay ang gobyerno," Baus said.
Celebri-peep Joy Barcoma, however, gave a more pointed response. She blamed reckless drivers who violate traffic rules while also raising concerns about bribery involving traffic enforcers.
"Ang sisihin natin 'yung pasaway na driver na hindi sumusunod sa batas-trapiko. Tapos sinusuhulan 'yung traffic enforcer para palagpasin sila sa ginawa nilang violation na kaya naman nangongotong ang mga traffic enforcer kasi hindi maganda ang daan, hindi ayos ang transportation natin dito sa Pilipinas, at higit sa lahat, hindi tinataasan ang sahod ng mga nagtatrabaho sa gobyerno! Sisihin 'yan lahat!"
The discussion highlighted how traffic remains a complicated issue, with different sides pointing to drivers, enforcers, and government systems as factors behind the problem.
Sassa Gurl (born Felix Petate) is a prominent Filipino comedian, internet personality, and actress who first rose to fame through her viral comedic skits and satire on TikTok. Known for her signature humor centered on Filipino pop culture, she made history in 2022 as the first openly qúeer calendar model for White Castle Whisky and has since expanded her career into television, music, and film.
In another report, Sassa Gurl issued an apology after her remark about AC Bonifacio during the “Saving Cherry” media conference drew criticism online. She acknowledged that the joke crossed a line and admitted that she should have been more careful with her words. Sassa took responsibility for making AC uncomfortable and expressed regret over what happened. AC, for her part, defended her home network during the event and later appeared to accept Sassa’s apology by reposting the statement. Sassa also vowed to become more mindful of her jokes and actions in the future, while ABS-CBN and Star Magic have not released an official response to the incident.
Meanwhile, Sassa Gurl looked back on her experiences with bullying during her younger years because of the way she expressed her identity. She recalled being called “baklang kanal,” a term she eventually embraced and reclaimed as part of her confidence and self-expression. Rather than allowing the insults to define her, Sassa emphasized the importance of standing up for oneself and refusing to back down when faced with difficult situations. Her story also reflected her advocacy for authenticity and the freedom to express one’s identity within the LGBTQIA+ community.
