Numbers on helmets to be revived in the Senate

[HumblePee]

At a Senate hearing today, Sen. Richard Gordon revealed that he has filed a bill to require plate numbers on helmets as well as color coding of helmets per region.

He said that a large number of assassinations and crimes were perpetrated by motorcycle riders, and that this move would help identify and deter criminals. He said that he had implemented the scheme as mayor of Olongapo city, and that it had "taken a huge bite out of crime."

Asked whether his proposal would violate human rights or constitutional provisions, he said that it won't. "People are already required to wear crash helmets for safety, putting the plate numbers on them won't make much of a difference," he said.

This is another baseless proposal by the senator. BTW, sir TS can you site your source or any link to it? Thank you

[CIRCUITO_LOCO]

if this is true...another protest will surely be organized again...

ano tayo blue boys, yellow boys at kung anu ano pang boys?!?

if you are a criminal, would you like to be identified??! senseless proposal..utak biya! laking lugaw!!

Olongapo is city, what we are talking here is the whole country

IT WOULD! crash helmets are different from having a color-coded helmet.

mahirap na maglongride kasi pano pag may ride, need mo pa extra helmet according sa color coding ng pupuntahan mo?? besides, masamang patungan ng paint ang helmet because it would compromise its safety features, IMHO.

nga pala, post mo na din yung source nitong news na to sir..thanks!




Ride Safe!

[DESK_MULLEN]

hahah may color scheme pa sa helmet ah??? mag utak talangka nga nmn next na botohan alm nyo na kung san mapupunta mga boto nyo...

[spectralknight8]

Ah cmon! I think Kagawad Richard Gordon was talking about his color coding scheme for Jeepneys will work with motorcycle helmets.

Doesn't he have anything better to propose? If he has done his ample research, he should have known that this proposal has been rejected not only once, but twice already. So we'd have to bring 3 or 4 separate helmets of different colors if we are going to do a North loop. What more if it was cross country?

And how will this affect his WOW Philippines program?

Talk about a misinformed politician.

[bacolodnon]

We should wait for the TS link or source before we bash Sen. Gordon...IMHO

or if anyone can post a source, will be much appreciated

[Super Osram]

helmet color coding?!?!?!?! what's next, may araw na din hindi tayo pwede bumyahe???? mga put___ina nila................ gumagawa lang yan ng ingay at kakandidato kasi sa 2010.............

[jerk18]

Maybe they should think where to put their over-sized budget to good use...


Talk about helmet coding...

Gsssshhhh...

What a waste of resources (time for the senate hearing, electricity, water, food etc., etc.)...

this could be true cause back in 2005 me and mayor_bandido went to his office in the senate and talked to him not to pursue his proposal.

he listened to us back then. so I hope that some media guy just dug up an old issue

[RavCai-16]

Hold your horses guys,

wala kasing source ng news na binigay ung TS

and nag-search na din ako sa net and wala din akong makita



wait muna natin i-post ng TS ung link


Ride Safe and Defensively!

[kirbitoy]

hehe cant wait to see riders on choppers and sport bikes wearing the same color of helmets with matching plate numbers on it.

[filmore]

kahit sinong poliko pa ang mag suggest ng ganyan ito lang masasabi ko.

gusto nila identify ang mga kriminal on motorcycles.

tangalin ang helmet law, para lahat ng mga nakamotor makikilala, kung may makitang nakahelmet na nakamotor, dapat alamin.

hindi pa gagastos ang mga pinoy dahil sa helmet law na yan...

sounds stupid pero mas may sense, karamihan naman ng mga nagmomotor ngayon ayaw mag helmet di tangalin na lang ang helmet at magingat na lang sa daan..

may color coding nga ang helmet or number plate, hindi mo rin naman ma identify agad yong tao dahil may helmet, at higit sa lahat mas lalala nakawan ng helmet...

kung unahin kaya nila ayusin ang kalsada...
at problema ng bansa..

problema lang kung ipatupad yan, eh pano kung ninakaw yang helmet mo at yan ang ginamit sa isang krimen, sinong kawawa,

[click_me]

This only shows to prove that all people in power has maliciously branded all of us on motorcycles as criminals...

Sir Jojo,

I hope that we can work together against this one if it is true...

Points to consider:
Human Rights Violation
Discrimination
Undue branding or profiling

Lets all be aware and be prepared...

@filmore,

You do not correct a wrong thing with another one...

I'm sorry but I stronly oppose your suggestion... You do not support what is wrong by condoning it... Telling people not to wear their helmets does not sound stupid... It is...

[HumblePee]

Ako ang source. I'm a reporter on the Senate beat at binanggit niya kanina yung bill niya. Di ko pa ma-cite kasi di pa lumalabas sa diyaryo namin. Will update as soon as I get more information.

[click_me]

If they want plates on our helmets, they should buy the helmets for every rider...

I will not spend money on something that will only be VANDALIZED by somebody else...

[brand0]

papayag ako jan sa propossal na yan, basta:

1) yung mga naglalakihan nilang(mga pulitiko) mga SUV's color at number coded din.
2) tanggalin ang PORK BARREL ng mga manggagantso este mambabatas
3) alisin na ang Fuel Incentives ng mga pulitiko. palibhasa libre ang gaso nila kaya ok lang mag-aksaya ng gas.
4) color at number coded din dapat lahat ng Public/Private UV's.
5) color at number coded din lahat ng bawat damit na nabibili sa merkado.
6) color at number coded din dapat pati mga fast food.
7) lahat ng bagay dito sa Pilipinas, color at number coded din dapat.

[noypito]

iniistereotype kasi ni gordon ang mga nagmomotor as criminals. kasi nga ang hitman na pumatay sa tatay nya ay naka motor.

"For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you."
-Matthew 7:2 ASV

IMHO, mas malalaking kriminals ang karamihan ng mga pulitiko dito sa pinas. dapat nga talaga bitay ang kasong plunder. kung gusto ni gordon na ma-identify mga criminals, itatak nya sa noo nya pangalan nya pati sa lahat ng bahay at kotse nya para ma-identify natin sya agad kahit saan sya pumunta.

I don't think this is an old issue. sabi kasi ni TS na "At a Senate hearing today, Sen. Richard Gordon revealed that..."
sana lang misinformation lang ito.

i agree on this.tapos add ako pa tanggalan ng wang wang lahat. gusto nila mabilis biyahe nila may escort pa, bakit hindi sila umalis ng maaga para di nagmamadali.

maganda ito. especially during the campaign season, ilista lahat ng mga anti-motorcyclists rights na politicians and openly campaign against them.

[jojo]

ngayon pa lang umpisahan na natin kung tumigil ang mga iyan

maganda pag campaign period. marami silang posters na naka paskil. magdala tayo ng malaking stamp pad. stamp natin ng malaking X tapos may nakasulat na anti-MC rights o kaya Motorcyclist discriminator/oppressor.
puede rin silang bigyan ng ranking. MCPF's most wanted politicians.
