MCP founder Frank Woolf offers up this reminder to us of promises unfulfilled.

Today is the first anniversary of the day President GMA instructed the DOTC Secretary to make it his main job to bring the Tollways into line with international standards: I wonder how many years it takes.

Quote from the Palace Press release:

“President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo today ordered the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) to review the ban on motorcycles below 400cc on the South and North Luzon expressways.

The President issued the directive to Transportation Secretary Leandro Mendoza during her meeting with members and officials of Motorcycle Philippines Federation (MCPF) and representatives of the motorcycle manufacturers and dealers at Malacanangs Heroes Hall.

“The main job of Secretary Mendoza now is to review the ban on motorcycles on the tollways because this is your number one concern,” the President said in her brief remarks after Frank Woolf, director for administration and publishing of the MCPF, made a power point presentation on the problems and concerns of motorcycle organizations.

She also asked Mendoza to study the proposals presented by the MCPF and compare existing motorcycle rules in the country with those of other countries “so that we will be comparable internationally.”
