The whole Internet is reacting to the Anti-Distracted Driving Law. Though it’s understandable that the law prohibits the use of gadgets and electronic devices while driving, many are questioning the items that are being disallowed.
While a lot of Filipinos are contesting the law, some lawmakers are also saying the MMDA is overdoing it by also disallowing religious items like rosaries.
Ever since the news about the Anti-Distracted Driving Law broke out, people have been ranting on social media.
Here are what some of the things people are saying:

@MMDA exempted po ba ang MMDA traffic officers sa RA 10913 or Anti-Distracted Driving Act ang mga traffic officers ng MMDA? pic.twitter.com/1vr3mvNZTd
