Red and Black Ribbon Campaign
When it rains it pours! If it were some blessings then good, but unfortunately it was a dilemma! This are what pinoy bikers are experiencing right now. It’s a concoction of misery, unwiseness and silliness. I’m talking about the “pathetic” law by the LTO, the AO AHS 2008-015. Which according to the bikers has so many gray areas on the modification part, and discrimination against bikers are very much obvious. It’s like the author/s of this law really hates motorcycles and bikers! Actually even shop owners and manufacturers of after market parts are affected by this law.
Last week some bikers prepared some presentation to elaborate their side to the LTO thru a workshop but I’ve heard it just fell into deaf ears. And yet LTO is cooking another Anti-Biker law. They’re suggesting to place another license plate number in front of every motorcycle! wtf!
LTO Side – With rising number of crimes involving the use of motorcycles, the Land Transportation Office on Monday said it is planning to issue two license plates to motorcycle owners – instead of only one – for easy identification and protection of motorcycle owners.
LTO chief Alberto Suansing said issuing two license plates similar to that being issued to other vehicles can help law enforcers trace owners of motorcycles used in criminal activities as well as those involved in vehicular accidents.
Bikers’ sentiments
Kung ako isang KRIMINAL,
bakit ko gagamitin ang TUNAY NA PLATE NUMBER
sa aking motor???
may plate number sa man sa harap at likod ang motor
Sino ba namang TANGA na kriminal na gumamit ng totoong plate number sa motor nya?
kahit lagyan nila ng plate number pati ung tagiliran ng motor kung wala pulis sa kalsada o magpapatupad ng maayos sa batas, balewala din….
sabi sa balita, nahihirapan daw humabol ang otoridad sa mga masasamang loob o ma-determine na masamang loob kaya dapat may plate number sa harap…. ano daw???? by putting plate number in front of motorcycle madadali kaya silang humabol? another thing is, di ba mas madaling makita ng humahabol ang plaka na nasa likod?
malabo tong bagong rule na to, ang kriminal, usually ang ginagamit na motor eh yung hindi sa kanila at nakaw…sana maisip ng PNP at LTO ito
TIGILAN NA NILANG GAMITING ALIBI NA ANG MOTOR LAGING GINAGAMIT SA CRIME………
nangyayari ang krimen dahil sa kahirapan ng buhay ng tao sa Pilipinas at hindi dahil may motorsiklo ang tao
ito ang pinakasensible na statement dito. it’s never about security, it’s never about our safety. it’s all about the money that they hope to generate kaya nila iniisip ang mga ito.(the AO and now this) – for 2010 elections perhaps?
In light of the situation, bikers nationwide are starting to do a silent protest dubbed as “Black and Red Ribbon Campaign“. A biker needs to tie this ribbon on his/her bike to show rejection to this AO crap and to share awareness and unity to other bikers as well.
