At the end of the day... As we have gone through all the work, research, information gathering, conversations with individuals, meetings with the groups, the workshop, the slap on the face, the positive and negative reactions and statements, the rumors, the rifts and the actual events that transpired, we are all for one thing... To be as one big community that enjoys our passion, livelihood and the roads...

I don't care about what this or that person says about each other and how things become a big stand off... The goal is the same... One thing is evident... Before we can even be effective in reaching our goal, we have to set aside our differences and our problems towards each other... We all want the same thing... The freedom to live and ride...

We are not doing this for glory or for acknowledgment... Were doing this because we owe it to society and to the community who has led us into the passion of feeling the wind in our faces as we ride...

Now that we are facing this hurdle, we should not look into making each other look bad or saying stuff to discredit each other... The more we do this, the more we destroy our only chance of reaching the goal that we are after...

My call to every single person who rides their motorcycle is to set aside our differences and lets work to achieve what we are all after... Equality, Freedom and Safety on the streets... We owe it to ourselves and everybody around us...

So my dear brothers and sisters, hear me out... Let us unite and work as one... No more rumors, no more shenanigans, no more agendas and no more pointing of fingers... We are a community... We should act towards the same goal and not against each other...

I made mistakes myself and I said some things that were totally uncalled for... I thought of and assumed many things as I went along my way... I am not trying to clean my hands of the dirt that I speak of... In fact, I am apologizing for the wrong things that I have done... I am not trying to seek sympathy... I am merely asking for everybody to sit back, think and ask your self why are we here... What are we after... Personally, I am here because of one thing... I am here because I love to ride and I don't want anybody or anything to stop me from doing what I love...

So for the sake of everybody and the people surrounding us, let us unite and help each other to take back what is rightfully ours with out stepping on anybody's toes...

We are riders... We will prevail...

“One man may hit the mark, another blunder; but heed not these distinctions. Only from the alliance of the one, working with and through the other, are great things born.”

let's all unite!!!

Amen to that sir click_me

Individual differences must not be an obstacle in achieving our goals. We discuss, we debate but in the end we resolve things and unite.

Whatever moves you to write this article, im sure its for the benefit of everybody here and I will always stand by your side along with our fellow riders from MRO-MAP. :)

And yes indeed, WE SHALL PREVAIL!
Dagdagan ko na rin ng aking passage WE SHALL OVERCOME! :clap:

I am with you sir, all the way!
But resolving the differences between us riders, and between motorcycle clubs is an enormous task. There will always be differences between us. But all of these differences does not mean that we cannot unite. Remember that we are all motorcycle riders. Different affiliations to different clubs or choosing to be a lone rider just proves our love to ride our bikes. It is in our blood. Without you guys it will not be that enjoyable. Without you guys the enthusiasm will be different. We are a community with a very common desire, and that is to ride.

Now, they are threatening our freedom. They are threatening our existence. Let’s put aside our differences for awhile and fight this AO together. Let us show them that we riders love what we are doing and we will not let them destroy it. Let us show them our strength by uniting.

The silent protest will be a very good start for us to unite. I know all the different clubs and ordinary riders all over the Philippines wants to help repel this AO. Putting a ribbon on their bikes to show their support in a very easy task. But seeing motorcycles with ribbons from different clubs, in different cities and municipalities will be a very loud statement. Acknowledging riders with ribbons in their bikes with a horn beep or just a nod, is a very unifying gesture. Let’s make this AO an opportunity to unite.

And when they repel this AO, lets go back to our differences again. Hehehe. Be mayabang again. But by then at least we know deep inside that we are one. Deep inside each one of us is saying RIDE SAFE BRO!

This is truly one endeavor that deserves all our efforts...i believe that we are being suppressed and being coerced...

we have the right to be on the streets....to use these streets....and to be treated equally...

As a community we were disregarded....

As a community we should now stand and unite for what we believe in!!!

true that sir, yun din ang nakakalungkot, kaya binabalwala tayo ng LTO na yan kasi alam nila fraction lang naman tayo ng total number of MC users in the Philippines.

Pero hindi palulupig, konti man tayo sa paningin nila, aatake tayo parang virus.

SPREAD THE WORD.

DEFY LTO's ABUSIVE WAYS!!!

Mga ilan ilan lang ang nakakaalam nito dahil hindi lahat ng nagmomotor ay marunong mag internet kaya wala nga silang alam sa mga bagay na nangyayari sa paligid nito. Gaya ng sa Meycauayan dumaan ako pero wala akong nakitang naka red and black ribbon na nakalagay sa motorsiklo. Maliban lang siguro sa mga grupo na nakakaalam nito. Ang bayan ng Meycauayan ay maraming nagmomotorsiklo maski mapasyal ka sa palengke o SM makikita mo ang fully loaded na mga motorsiklo pero hindi lahat ay may grupo. Katulad ko nakapaguupdate lang ako dito sa forum kung ano ang nangyayari minsan gusto kong pumunta sa lugar ninyo pero hindi ko kabisado ang lugar. Nasa lugar ako ng Bignay Valenzuela halos boundary ng Novaliches, Caloocan, at Meycauayan. Iisa rin ang masasabi ko at nagpapasalamat ako sa ginagawa ninyo bilang representatib ng mga nagmomotor maski hindi nila alam ang inyong ipinaglalaban. Iisa lang po ang suggestion ko pero magastos po talaga ang pagbigay ng leaflet para sa panawagan ng MRO.

Tama sir dapat gumawa ng mga flyers/leaflets then pwede i-download para mai-print and maipamigay.

Sana sir click_me makagawa kayo ng standard format nito at kanya kanya po ng download at print mas mabilis po natin mai-inform ang iba pang nagmo-motor sa hakbangin nating ito pati na rin ang pamimigay sa mga bikeshops ako po mismo ay mamimigay nito.

This is a very good idea, so that we can show LTO that all of the MC riders are unified together because we all have something in common, and that is "To ride our bikes with freedom and equality on the road or wherever our bikes takes us to". LET'S PUT BLACK AND RED RIBBONS ON OUR BIKE!!!! as a message for LTO and the government how STUPID their new AO is!!!

Quote subject the LTO employees to harassment / verbal abuse and tell them this is all because of their superiors. The aim of this barrage is to harass the desk bound employees of the LTO (or whoever picks up the phone there) so they go home tired and angry at their management. Unquote
by GUNDAM168.....:eek:

Now thats going to get you the Adverse affects im sure. And should a competent "Investigator" want a person who is responsible for the "Harassment" all they have to do is look in MCP and read that thread..GOTCHA!!...

now YOU GUDAM168 face criminal charges, and the MRO's reputation is down the drain.

Not exactly a Diplomatic recourse is it??:?

Listen to "Click-me" hes got some good ideas!!
