    Filipino traffic enforcer Ramiro Hinojas, wearing a Santa Claus costume, directs motorists on a street in Pasay city, south of Manila, Philippines, on Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2012. Hinojas puts a dance show  to make traffic more bearable at Metro Manila’s busiest intersection as road traffic becomes congested due to the number of people doing their shopping, with the Christmas and New Year holidays a few days away.
