If i read the MMDA’s chairman’s statement correctly, we are now officially criminals who are guilty before being proven innocent.
Read this.
He suggested that the Metro mayors enact a common resolution stipulating that the failure to put the license plate numbers on the helmets of motorcycle owners and riders should be treated as a criminal offense and not as a mere traffic violation to thwart criminals from using motorcycles in the commission of crimes.“No plate on the helmet should carry with it stiffer penalties – like impounding the motorcycle and the appropriate fines and charges because there is a deliberate attempt by the felon to conceal his identity and avoid positive identification by the public,†Fernando said.
Placing stickers on helmets will not solve this Mr. Chairman. This is merely another stop gap measure approved by our lazy local officials to show that they’re doing something. Was the community consulted regarding this? We have a fairly active MC riding community and a pretty large organization headed by the MCPF but it seems that they weren’t consulted.
It’s another poorly thought about plan. Generalizing all riders into one group and discriminating that group which just makes their life a whole lot easier and ours a whole lot harder.
This has got to stop. Can I please ask the MCPF leadership to do something about this. This is discrimination in it’s purest form and cannot and should not be tolerated.
re # 38 wongbu — france has a strong biker political presence, maybe we can follow their example?
fellow bikers, where are the lawyers among us? we need them to take this to court!

Alam nyo guys, maling mali sila kasi pwede tayo i-BLOCK MAIL gamit lang mga motor at helmets natin ayt? kapag NA-CAR NAPPED mga bikes natin with the helmet go na go mga Bad Guys diba? tamang-tama yung sinabi nung president ata ng MCP sa interview with cha7 na dapat ang mga pulis ang naka bantay sa mga kanto hindi yung tayong nananahimik ang naaapektohan daba
Wala na nga tayo palag sa check point kahit abala dahil alam naman natin na wala tayo ginagawa masama. Pero itong idea na to eh isang kalokohan. Bat di na lang nila palagay yung plate number sa helmet. Dun na lang iturnilyo. At gawin na rin nila kasing laki ng plate no. ng kotse para kitang kita. Or para fare yung mga kotse eh pa glass etch nila sa likod yung plate number nila. buong likod sakupin nila. Simulan natin sa sasakyan nila BF at mga Trapo. Dagdag kotong lang ng mga blue boys ang mangyayari sa kalokohan na to. announce nyo lang kelan tayo susugod para iparating ang ating hinaing mga bro sama ako full support. Ride Safe
I think this is plain and simple redundancy. May plate number na po ang motorsiklo, which can be clearly seen, bakit kailangan pang isulat sa helmet ng rider. And this is not foolproop either, pwede namang gumamit ng nakaw na plates ang mga hoodlum at itatak ang number sa kanilang helmet. What’s next, sa jacket naman itatak ang numbers? THINK…..THINK….THINK
WE KNOW YOU’RE BETTERERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
WITH REGARD TO THE THREAD #50, I ALSO COME FROM THE UK, AND CORRECT NO STICKERS ALLOWED ON HELMETS. ALSO A HELMET IS A ARTICLE OF SAFETY CLOTHING NOT PART OF THE BIKE SO THERE IS NO LAW THAT SAYS YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR REGISTRATION NUMBER ATTACHED TO YOUR HELMET, BOOTS OR JACKET OR EVEN YOUR JEANS???
SO THAT PROPOSAL IS QUITE LUDICROUS IN THE OFFSET. FAR BETTER IF THE POLICE START A MORE EFFECTIVE WAY OF STOPPING THOSE WITH NO HELMETS,OR OTHER VIOLATIONS THAN TO SIT IN SECLUDED AREAS DOING NOTHING EXCEPT SMOKING AND EATING ICECREAM. OR EVEN POSING ON THEIR BIG(?) BIKES.
SHAME ON YOU PNP TRAFFIC DIVISION
JOKE:- MOTOWORLD ARE NOW OFFERING EMBROIDERED PANTIES WITH YOUR REGISTRATION NUMBER ON THEM????
Chairman Fernando ganyan na po ba kababaw ang nalalaman ninyo na solution sa problem of criminality. It only shows that people who concocted this policy is either not using their brains or do not have brains at all (sobrang labnaw siguro ng laman)!!!
You very well know that even passports, diplomas, licenses, almost anything for that matter can be faked dito sa Pilipinas and what you are implementing is a policy requiring motorcyclists to place plate numbers in their helmets. Ano pa ba ito kanya-kanyang lagay ng plate number sa helmet??? The MMDA should shoulder the cost of the stickers to be placed sa helmet.
This is plain and simple dumb and stupid ordinance. It is very discriminating for people who use motorcycles.
Mag implement kayo ng batas ng patas. Pag pulis walang helmet, walang plate number. pag pulitiko tulad nyo much worse hinahawi nyo pa daan. Akala nyo sa inyo kalye. Ang yayabang nyo eh palamnunin kayo ng bayan.
Mr. Chairman this is just a means of extorting money again from us motorcyclists ng mga kotong cops.
Are you aware of the law of use and misuse?? Paminsan-minsan gamitin mo naman yang bao mo!!
Mga Bro,
They will not turn their deaf ears para marinig nila concerns natin. They have made this resolution/ordinance WITHOUT proper consultation with the motorcycling public eh pakinggan pa kaya tayo!
Tingin yata ni Fernando eh absolute monarch siya at hari siya ng metro manila.
What we need is to challenge this stupid MMDA resolution sa court. I am calling all lawyers who understand our plight to help us in this uphill battle.
We should start by gathering signatures ng mga against dito sa policy clearly explaining the issue and then let us elevate this sa courts.
clearly the amount of strong feeling regarding this issue is surprising everyone.
However much we complain on this web site it is still confined to cyber space.
Let`s all organise a bike rally ending up at the MMDA headquarters. This will show biker power is alive and well in the Philippines. Mount up and ride to show our solidarity.
yes set a venue to where we riders/bikers should go to sign and complete this …. MAKIBAKA WAG MAGPABABOY!!!
In this country, all motorcyclists are treated as criminals outright. Mr. Fernando even prefers motorcyclists not to use helmets if he can have his way. This shows his utter lack of concern for the safety of riders. Palibhasa hindi siya nagamit ng motorcycle.
This only shows what kind of people we have in government.
Malinaw po na diskriminasyon ito sa mga mahirap na kaya lamang bilihin na sasakyan ay motorsiklo.
Kung magiging patas po sa lahat ay dapat topdown lahat ng kotse at van para maranasan din ng mga pulitikong ito na nagbabalatkayo na para sa mahihirap ang usok at alikabok sa kalye. Bawal ang windshield. Tanggalan ng tint lahat ng sasakyan ng mga pulitiko.
Mr. Fernando, baka naman ang susunod mong project ay palagyan mo na rin ng plate number ang mga shades ng bikers.
I WILL NOT BE SURPRISED IF MR. HERO FERNANDO WILL SOON FOLLOW-UP HIS
POLICY SAYING …” BAWAL NA ANG MOTORSIKLO SA LANSANGAN ” … ” DRIVE AT YOUR OWN RISK ”
jejejeje…what do you think guys?
WITH REGARDS TO THREAD #53: sang ayon ako sayo bro, wala kasi tayong magagawa kundi sumunod sa kanilang utos na kahit sila di nila magagawa, gawin nilang fair diba, like you said yung mga kotse eh pa glass etch nila sa likod yung plate number nila. buong likod sakupin nila, tapos gawin nalang nila kasing laki ng plaka ng chikot plaka natin, but syempre all of these must be MODELED by Mr.BAYANI, simulan sa sasakyan nya at ng mga kotong blue boys. Ride Safe To Us!
baka ang susunod na papakulayan na ng pink ang motor natin
haha pink… pang marikina
pano na siguro pag naupo sa senado or higher si BF… ingat ingat lang
ayos yan sumunod na lang tayo kung sakaling isabatas na ito
sabi nila sasagasaanh daw ng MMDA trucks ang mga bikers na magpoprotesta? totoo ba ito?
ANG SAYA-SAYA
Ang remedyo jan palitan na lang ng owner ang mga motor. Pasikipin pa natin ang traffic sa Metro Manila sa dami ng four wheels at tingnan ko lang kung di sumakit ang ulo ni Bayani Agbayani y Fernando
Sino bang t_nga ang nag-isip ng ordinansang yan?
di ba nya naisip na nakalagay na nga ang plate # sa likod ng motor. bakit kailangan pa lagyan ang helmet. lakihan na lang ang plate number. kung sino man ang nakaisip niyan PUNY_TA KA!
ganyan talaga mga bro ang taong hindi marunong mag-isip ng tama!basta may naisip kahit walang kwenta gusto na kaagad ipa-implement!hindi muna magtanong tanong kung makakabuti ba o makakasama sa atin!
Once again, the Philippine Local Government has proven that it only takes a bloody idiot (in short, an @$$h0Le) to manage things.
I so love to watch Mr. Fernando apply his proposed policy on himself on the streets of Manila and out on the highway, both as a rider and as a backrider wearing his “No Face Shield” helmet.
Not just for a day. But everyday from home to work, back again, until he experiences first-hand how it is to meet an unavoidable traffic accident without proper facial protection.
If Mr. Bayani Fernando crawls out of the accident scene with his face undamaged and his teeth still intact, then I’ll be glad to follow such ridiculously mediocre policy.
Malaking kagaguhan na naman yang MMDA resolution na yan.
Come to think of it.
PAG MAY HELMET KA NA WALANG PLATE NUMBER STICKER- CRIMINAL OFFENSE IMPOUNDED PA MOTOR MO HEAVY FINES PA!!
PAG WALA KA HELMET (YUN PA MAY BATAS ha na dapat mag-helmet) TRAFFIC VIOLATION KA LANG. RIDING MC W/O HELMET!!!!
Anong klase kayang utak meron ang gumawa ng MMDA policy na ‘to. PAGKAKAKITAAN N NAMAN ‘TO MGA BRO!
ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES!!!
isa na namang pagwapong aksiyon ng mr. fernando, isa lamang ang pinapahiwatig ni mr. fernando na ang utak niya ay napunta sa bayag niya lahat at walang natira sa ulo niya sa taas.
pweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…. mr. fernado ano ba naman iyang pag-iisip mo, wag puro bayag mo ang pag-isipin mo kundi gamitin mo naman ang ulo mo sa ibaba.
Let us all be vigilant and fight for our rights. Hindi lamang po cagers ang may karapatan sa ating mga lansangan.
Mabuhay po ang lahat ng motorcylcits/riders!
Siguro kailangan nan extra large helmet para mabasa ang mga numbers and letters. Wow magmumukha tayong ALIENS. Nya ha ha!! Ang mga kriminal e gagawa at gagawa nang paraan para maka pameke nan kahit ano para maka blend in. Walang mababago kahit ano pa ang lagyan nan plate numbers dahil pepekehin din yan at gagawa pa rin sila nan crime.. Kung ma iimplement yan e victims pa rin tayo, nang mga kriminal at maging nan batas in some circumstances.
why are we (mc riders)are always the one to suffer when crimes are being committed by criminals riding in a motorcycle?
mmda said that the one committing the crime will be much easier to trace its plate no bec. it can be easily seen. ans. do the criminals used their own mc when committing crime? they can easily change the no’s in their helmet just like changing the plate no. of their m.c.
what if your helmet was stolen? they can use it in committing crime then you will be also liable.
what if you have 3 bikes will you put all the no.’s there it will not fit so you will be charge as criminals.
before any laws should be passed they should make a study on what benefits it will have on our people
we put leaders in our goverment to serve the people not to serve them
ive always supported mr. fernando in his policies when he was assigned in mmda. but when he approved this mmda ordinance i have to think twice if this man really wise or as dumb as the other politicians
i’ve seen and heard on t.v. when bayani was being interviewed he said that any protest will be a form of anarchy what about the leaders that are not listening to the majority is’t a form of dictatorship?
let us all be heard and stop this kind of discrimination, just tell me when and where i will be there.
Bayani F. mas makakabuti siguro na yung maraming PULIS na nasa presinto lang maghapon ay palabasin mo sa lansangan para mabantayan ang katahimikan ng BAYAN. At yung mga PULIS (pang gabi) na ayaw magpuyat sa oras ng trabaho ay disiplinahin mo. Magtrabaho sila sa oras ng duty nila at kung kailangan kahit na off duty nila. Ito ay mas makakatulong para masugpo ang krimen. Alalahanin mo higit na maraming pambili ng HELMET ang mga kriminal kesa sa amin na mahihirap na motorista. Mga kababayan ko na kriminal, pag nag operation kayo please lang number ng vehicle ni Fernando ang ilagay nyo sa HELMET nyo. MABULOK este Mabuhay ka Fernando.
Mga Bro. Kung makakarating ako sa araw ng meeting sa kalsada, karangalan ko na MASIPA ng MMDA para sa karapatan natin.
MABUHAY ANG M.C.P.
SA SUSUNOD BAWAL NA MOTOR SA PILIPINAS……… langyang policy yan!!!! sige payag tayo na maglagay ng sticker sa helmet sa isang kondisyon lahat ng mga pulis patola na nakamotor dapat naka helmet din and dapat nakarehistro mga motor nila lam naman natin kalakaran ng mga pulis… madame sa kanila walang rehistro mga motor nial db???
payag ako basta criminal offense din mga magnanakaw sa gobyerno lalo na mga buaya na mga congressmen lalo na yun mangongotong sa commission on appointments. kol !
if criminals can make good fake plates the more with this stupid sticker on helmet thing.
siguro naman sa dami ng magagandang depensa na naisulat na laban sa kalokohang sticker sa helmet e magigising na sa katotohanan si chairman bayani. e yun nga lang awarding na ginawa niya sa metro film festival e isa ng malaking kahangalan, san ka naman nakakita ng best picture award na ang pinagbasihan e yung kinita ng movie? pag top grosser ka, best picture ka na, ngek.
as we are speaking, i am sure meron ng nang kokotong. malaki laki kotong ng mga hudas. criminal offense ito.
Law should be fair and apply to all; Car owners should be made to be identified also with plate nos. printed – say on their sunglasse, since cars are also being used (more than bikes) in comitting crimes.
tama ka paeng. why not arrest the crooks and criminals first in government. we are now number one most corrupt coutry in the whole world .
the policy that the government wants to implements just shows how moronic they are and how stupid they view the problem. they are part of the problem or they are the problem. dont blame the bikers
The numbers on the helmet is not the smartest thing i have ever heard. How many criminals are going to wear a helmet when they commit a crime?
If someone was to steal your bike do you think that they will also steal you helmet as well? Come on now use a little commen sense here.
Sounds like someone is trying to make a job justification due to the fact that they don’t have anything else to do but sit around a dream up stupid things and convince themselves that it is a good idea.
They should use there energy more to implementing manadatory laws for cyclists that are needed such as road rules and respect for safety.
