The idea is just so absurd, it looks funny. But no one’s laughing.
The motorcycling community’s uproar should not fall on deaf ears! Let’s hope the people in MMDA have gone online to read our sentiments. Should you want to personally email Chairman Bayani Fernando, you may do so in this address: chairman_bfmmda@yahoo.com.
UPDATE: As it was reported, emails to the above address are already bouncing. I personally called the Office of the Chairman to get BF’s new email address. I’ve also forwarded my email to the said address just to be sure it’s working. Here it is: bayanibf_fernando@yahoo.com.
Let me know if your email starts to bounce thru that address as well.
May he be enlightened. Amen.

You know what, since you so called “Lawmakers” instigated this so called “Law”, why dont you show us how it should look like by wearing one, & ride around the “WHOLE” city so everyone in the riding community will “try” to understand your point. Theres a saying…. “it takes one to know one”. Show us then “maybe” will will follow….. “NOT”!!!!
I for one will be the first peron to be laughing at your sorry, pothetic & dorky little outfit. And i pray to god that I hope I can control myself from kicking your bike IF i ever see you riding in the streets of Manila. Get a life & do your job in making our lives better, not yours.
Question: How much time did you waste & how much did it cost us taxpayers for you to come up with such a dumbass law in the 1st place?!?!?! I want a refund…..

I sent an email but it bounced back with the message that - THIS ACCOUNT HAS BEEN DISABLED OR DISCONTINUED - so don’t waste your time sending an email to that address

I just re-discovered the joy of riding a scoot…then I heard that you ‘need’ to put your plate number on the helmet? Who concocted such a bird-brained idea? If for example, one ‘borrowed’ a helmet from some other rider and both didn’t match…? What then? I believe that the MMDA didn’t consult a bunch of kids for this so called ‘anti-terrorist deterrent…!’ I hope so.. In the meantime, if it becomes a law, then they should allocate funds for the LTO to issue the warranted, water-proof and reflective stickers to be used in the helmet! See?
To the MMDA, consider the rules properly (and consult with the decent riders before coming up with ‘absurd’ ordinances and laws…..! I rest my case…
4. biker_dennis | June 27th, 2007 at 9:24 am
awww!!! that big????
i wouldnt want to have it on my helmet, and knowing Mr. Fernando, im sure he would want it to be PINK!
5. JohnRana | June 27th, 2007 at 10:18 am
Hi Gerry! Thanks for the feedback. I called MMDA’s Office of the Chairman to get BF’s new email address. I also forwarded my email to the new address to make sure it doesn’t bounce back again.
The new email ad is: bayanibf_fernando@yahoo.com
I’ve edited the above post for this update. Thanks again for letting us know.

i travel daily riding with my motorcyle, as i have notice mostly of uni4m men are not wearing helmets(police & traffic enforceer) “siga” it means pwde. with regards to helmet policy by puting plate number on it, i think mr fernando is creating his own country, coz watever he wants to do he do it personaly? bka bukas ayaw nya na may mkita sya n motorcycle sa kalsada. Crimes is a police matters not MMDA.
7. flavio | June 27th, 2007 at 10:29 am
First things first.
MMDA should require all government offices and agencies including government-owned and controlled corporations and government financial institutions that their fleet of service vehicles, with or without security plates be made to SPORT their plate numbers on the left and right sides. The size of the numbers must be readable from a distance of 300 meters.
8. Athayu | June 27th, 2007 at 11:46 am
MMDA rules for Metro Manila alone but what if those coming from nearby provinces where this damn law is not in effect or even those who loves to travel and will have to go or pass one of the cities of MMDA, what could be the scenario?
E di ………JACKPOT!!!
Lagay na lang agad kesa bumalik para tubusin ang lisensya dahil malayo at abala pa.
Ang kaso bawat kanto, sector, barangay, stop light, barrio, bayan, munisipyo, lungsod sama mo na subdivision, village at mga lugar tulad ng D’ Fort at Rockwell (kung saan pati GUWARDIYA nanghuhuli at naniniket din)e nasita at nahuli si kawawang nagmomotor.
Sobra-sobrang mga …….. JACKPOT NA.
QUESTION & SUGGESTION: ANO BA TALAGA ANG GUSTO NG MMDA? BAT DI NA LANG NILA IPAGBAWAL KAYA ANG MOTORSIKLO MISMO SAMA NA NILA LAHAT NG PAMPRIBADONG SASAKYAN AT MAGCOMMUTE NA LANG ANG LAHAT NG TAO PARA PAREHAS AT PANTAY PARA SA LAHAT.
NOTE: Suggestion is based on the mentality of those who thought of the resolution baka maisip din nila unahan na natin.

PAHABOL:
Para hindi obvious o halata na gusto nilang ipagbawal ang lahat ng motorsiklo.

11. paperoni | June 27th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
o nga… karamihan ng law breaker eh cla den na nagpapatupad nito.. ndi naman lahat ah… pro madami cla… yang mga pulis/traffic enforcer na yan… yan pa ung mga matatapang at malalakas ang loob at mayayabang na nakamotor na walang helmet, nagcounter flow, beating red lights marami pa… karamihan pa ng mga motor nila ndi nakaregistro/expired… shit! cla pa ang matapang na manita… tang-ina nila… gawin nila ng tama at maayos ang trbaho nila… ndi puros mga kagagaguhan at useless na idea ang naiisip nila… sayang ang napakalaking tax na kinakaltas sateng mga tax payers kun ipapasweldo lng sa mga gago at tangang mga yan.
12. wapedudz | June 27th, 2007 at 4:05 pm
WHAT A FREAKIN’ WASTE OF TAX. No wonder mabagal ang progress ng pilipinas, nasasayang ang pera sa walang kuwentang batas at walang kuwentang mambabatas.
kahit paskil mo pa lahat yan. buti sana kung magsisipag at gagawin ng mga pulis yung trabaho nila ng maayos.
go back to the basic! yan pa rin ang pinaka effective.
“intensive check points, 24 hour police visibility, alertness and quick response.” yan ang the best na counter measure sa mga krimen.

14. dandang | June 27th, 2007 at 7:45 pm
pero paano kung colorful at marami design ang helmet ko baka di mabasa ang numbers and letters maghahalo sa color scheme ng helmet ko. kakaskasin ko ba ang kulay para mabasa ang plate number? so dapat bawal na rin ang marami kulay only one color para may contrast ang numbers. haay naku kawawa naman ang pinas. WAlang matinong batas na pwede gayahin ng ibang bansa.

pwede bang huwag na lang magbayad ng buwis? tanggalin na’ng pagkaltas ng withholding tax sa aming mga suweldo… wala namang matinong napupuntahan ang ibinabayad natin sa kanila e
18. motoradi_916 | June 28th, 2007 at 1:31 am
pag pinatupad ba yung plate number on helmet wala ng krimen na mangyayari? hindi ba gagawin yun o hindi ba kayang gawin ng mga may balak gumawa ng krimen ang pag lagay ng plate number sa helmet nila? tsaka pag pinatupad ba yun, wala ng check point? o exempted na yung may plate number sa helmet sa check point, ang che-chekin nalang ba ng pulis yung walang plate number sa helmet?
bakit sa motorcycle lang? diba ginagamit din ng mga bank robbers at kidnappers ay mga 4 wheel o kotse. bakit di niya rin ipa implement yung ilagay rin yun plate number sa side ng mga koste yung visible utpo 300 meters. tapos no tint policy.
pano yung mga kriminal na naglalakad lang at hindi naka motor. Name tag for every philippine citizen ba ang sagot yung visible upto 25 or 50 meters
ano pa ba ang mga pwedeng ipa-implement… bukas baka ito na ipa-implement mo BF!
1. hanging shirt at shorts nalang ang proper attire sa lugar mo para kita agad kung may patalim yung tao o baril.
2. pa implement mo rin sa lugar mo Mr. bayani na naka name tag lahat ng tao yung visible upto 50 meters din. nakalagay boung pangalan at contact number, front and back. para madaling makilala yung mga tao. tapos no exemption para maranasan mo rin mag mukang ewan!.
19. lapu-lapu | June 28th, 2007 at 3:51 am
hope that kind of law will not be introduced here in Cebu, hehehe……
20. DyaniBee | June 28th, 2007 at 8:43 am
Now if some moron wants to steal my bike, he’ll have to kill me for my helmet as well! Stupidity! Plain and simple ignorance that will negatively reflect on our people once again. “Only in the Philippines,” I can almost hear foreign visitors snicker. An excuse for the ineffectivity of our law enforcement and Bayani Fernando’s bad taste. Period.
21. bonjing | June 28th, 2007 at 10:18 am
Another one of those “absurd” Laws made to look like a solution to a problem, but is actually just a “stop-gap” measure. This law has more downsides than upsides. Why? For the following reasons:
1. Helmet manufacturers do not recommend painting over the helmet since it compromises the durability of the helmet.
2. Anyone can steal your helmet without you knowing it and commit the crime in minutes. Even if you filed a police report, the crime has been committed.
3. If you plan to borrow someone’s bike, you have to make sure that the helmet fits.
4. Everytime you change bikes (upgrade, downgrade or just plain selling) you have to include the helmet, or scrape off the number on your helmet and paint in the new one. The more it compromises the durability of the helmet.
5. Having the face shield of your backride open, just decreases the safety factor, by 50%, of your backride, who’s life (and safety) is under your responsibility.
6. Having YOUR face shield open is in violation of all international motorcycle / driving regulations.
What Chairman Fernando needs is good, reliable, accurate INTELLIGENCE REPORTS of these groups. He is making the whole motorcycle riding population suffer due to the incompetence of his “intelligence” agents.
Whoever did submit this proposal to Chairman Fernando is likely just sitting on his BIG FAT *SS, in an airconditioned office, being driven around in those heavily tinted American Made Gas Guzzlers, complete with security detail.
22. paperoni | June 28th, 2007 at 1:36 pm
mga guyz… sa tingin ko ndi tyo madidinig d2, kung d2 lng naten isinisigaw ung mga hinaing naten… kelangan cgro i-petition naten yan bago pa man ma-approve… i mean oppose na naten… ndi tama eh… walang katuturan… sana may lawyer na rider na mag-initiate ng tamang action… kun kelangang mag-ride tyo just to show them na ndi tyo agree sa kagaguhan na yan… am sure madaming sasama… sana lng may magorganize at magstart ng tamang action… thanks mga ka-riders… safe ride to all!!! =) god bless!!

26. JohnRana | June 28th, 2007 at 3:17 pm
genesky, let me just clear out that the plate number on the helmet was just graphically/digitally added for us to visualize how ridiculous the proposal really is.
My sincerest apologies to WaspUP for the undeserved insult in comment #23.
27. DyaniBee | June 28th, 2007 at 3:55 pm
I hear that there’s going to be a protest ride to the MMDA on Sunday. Can someone confirm this?

30. wapedudz | June 28th, 2007 at 6:32 pm
I believe this is intentional. if you dig deeper i think it roots to something else. DEFINITELY A GOVERNMENT PLOY.
1. A DISTRACTION? to take some attention from the critical issues. (kidnappings, election fraud, etc)
2. An attempt to find some alternatives for revenue. (i guess that’s why GMA said there wont be new taxes imposed) i guess they have noticed the ever increasing population of the motorcycle community, ika nga “a good season to milk the cows.”
3. This is one of those actual laboratories where they could experiment and test their authoratative powers. like the e0464, pag walang pumalag eh di pwede pala, pag may pumalag eh medyo back off at re formulate then retest ulet.
Hanep talaga ang mga think tanks ng gobyerno. akala nyo lang bobo sila pero may mga hidden agenda yan…
31. barada | June 28th, 2007 at 10:14 pm
anong hidden hidden agenda ? wala yan, hanggang ganyan lang talaga ang kayang nilang isipin, sayang lang talaga ang ibinabayad nating tax na isinusweldo sa mga yan ! kayayabang pa ! pag dumarating, may mga escort pang nagwawang wang na naghahawi ng mga motorists na akala mo’y may gagawing makakabuti sa mga Pilipino, kung magpatabi sa ating mga nagpapalamon sa kanila sakay ng mga puro imported vehicles na pera naman natin ang ipinambili,pati fuel nyan, gastos natin…… mga nagmamadali pala, para hindi mahuli sa partehan ng kurakot, wala na talaga! hanggang nandiyan yang mga yan, puro kabalbalan lang mangyayari, ito ngang kay BF di ba “mother of all kabalbalan yan”.

post po ito ni BoyG last august 14 2006
While listening to the radio yesterday morning during my Sunday morning coffee, I caught the MMDA segment on DZBB. This broadcast was surprisingly level headed, though still containing a lot of misconceptions regarding MC riders, like the use of the sidewalk, the weaving in and out of traffic and of course the ever popular, making “silong” under walkways when it rains, the show was generally and surprisingly pro MC.
Their topic shifted towards motorcycle riders. They were throwing figures about how many accidents there are and how they’ve increased due to the sudden upswing of users the past years. They mentioned a figure of 2000 reported accidents involving Motorcycles with 51 of them proving fatal, I am not sure about the time frame of the figure they gave, I think it was for 1 month or 1 year. Whatever the numbers this figure has definitely got to be lowered. Rider education should be a number one priority now for all those seeking their first bike.
Here are a couple of examples of how the radio segment went.
Anchor: Shouldn’t MC’s be restricted to 2 lanes on the road, instead we see them all over the place?
MMDA Director: Being a rider myself we usually keep to the driver half of the lane making ourselves more visible. There is no restriction as to where MC’s can go just as long as they observe common sense and follow regular traffic rules.
Anchor: Sometimes they surprise you appearing beside you all of a sudden?
MMDA Director: Lane splitting is normal when the traffic is slow or stopped but lane splitting during moving traffic is dangerous and prohibited.
Anchor: Shouldn’t MC’s be forced to take the service road instead of the various tunnels along EDSA (Shaw Tunnel)?
MMDA Director: MC’s are allowed anywhere, in fact its natural for them to take the tunnel because it’s the faster route. As long as they follow regular traffic rules they’re ok.
And the final word of MMDA Chair Bayani Fernando on this segment.
Even motorcyclists have rights. All they have to do is observe regular traffic rules. You have the same rights as cars, specially when parking. “Taas noo ang nag momotorsiklo”.
It’s a refreshing change from all the gloom media is reporting regarding MC’s.
So maybe there is hope after all.

DISCLAIMER: AN IMMATURE POLICY DESERVES AN EQUALLY IMMATURE REACTION
I so love to smack Mr. Fernando’s unshielded face with all my waterproof stickers already pasted ON my helmet… including all the decals ON my motorcycle so he will know how it feels like to implement his “NO FACE SHIELD” policy.
To you Mr. Bayani Fernando and the entire MMDA, I’m very proud to say, from the very bottom of my heart:
BOBO KA PALA, EH! GAGO!
Halika rito, Mr. Bayani Fernando MMDA Chairman, sir.
Isuot mo iyang half-face helmet mo na walang face shield.
Ayan.
Sige, ngumiti ka.
Ganyan.
Show your teeth, Mr. Fernando.
Very nice.
Ok, ‘wag kang kukurap ha?
‘Wag na ‘wag kang kukurap while I smack your stupid unshielded face with my waterproof stickers on my full-face helmet.
Andami na ngang aksidente, dinagdagan mo pa. Bobo ka nga, Mr. MMDA Chairman.
DISCLAIMER: AN IMMATURE POLICY DESERVES AN EQUALLY IMMATURE REACTION

bakit palagi tayong mga nagmomotor ang sinisisi ng mga law enforcer, we are the one paying for their shortcomings, dapat pag ibayuhin nila ang trabaho nila.. kaya dapat tutulan natin ang batas na iyan ( may batas na nga ba?)

It is not surprising that MM DA always come up with silly ideas and out of this world regulation, voila!!! heres another one!!! license plates on your helmet?? Only in the Philippines!!! I am in Vietnam at present and it is a fact that the number one means of transportation here is the so called XE OM or motorcycles, all kinds of motorcycles can be found here not only a few but hundreds of them and strict rules as far as plate visibility is imposed, but helmet bearing license plate number is out of the scene here. Motorcycles have license plates triple the size of the one we use in the Philippines, a black and white plate with all the numbers and letters presses onto it and can be visible even from a distance. I think those people from the MMDA think tank office should sharpen their brains a little bit and conduct studies further before implementing such regulations, i agree it is really amusing but i am definitely laughing… Mr. Chairman have you ever been to Vietnam??? i think it time for you to visit this country and maybe it will help your brain executives to give you bright idea instead of rubbish intelligence.
39. Manny | July 1st, 2007 at 11:56 am
Excerpts from my blog post on this issue:
(http://mamador.wordpress.com/2007/06/27/making-roads-unsafe-stupidity-from-the-mmda/)
It looks like the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and its Chairman, Bayani Fernando, now want to join in our national leaders’ pastime of creating unbelievably stupid laws and regulations.
Let’s see what these rules will mean to the motorcycle-riding public.
First, it seems that Fernando has forgotten that full-face helmets are much safer for riders — whether they be passengers or drivers. A study in the January 2003 issue of “Annals of Emergency Medicine” found that motorcyclists with facial injuries are 3.5 times more likely to have a brain injury. Those that receive facial fractures are 6.5 times more likely to have brain injuries than those without any facial damage.
Helmets with face shields, while not as good as full face helmets, can also provide some protection against insects and other flying objects.
The bottom line: a full face helmet covers the face and can prevent facial damage, while a face shield also provides a bit of protection. The new MMDA rules, however, would deny motorcycle passengers a chance to use better protection since they require that a passenger’s face be exposed.
What if a person has two or more motorcycles? Will two sets of numbers large enough to be seen at a distance fit on both sides of a single helmet? Or does Fernando expect riders to buy more helmets and have one helmet assigned to each motorcycle?
What if one sells a motorcycle and purchases another one? How will a “permanently placed” sticker be removed without damaging the helmet? Does he realize how expensive a properly-certified helmet can be?
40. paeng | July 1st, 2007 at 8:54 pm
the authority must first do their job . look at the streets of metro manila, cars with heavily tinted plate numbers kolorum fx taxis without plate number or with expired comemorative plates mostly own lead by cops. they should implement existing laws to really fight crimes.
41. paeng | July 1st, 2007 at 9:01 pm
mga cars and vans na walang plaka at heavily tinted. yan ang unahin nyo jan naka sakay most of the criminals . nag kalat yan walang plaka at di makita ang plaka. gawin nyo trabaho nyo, at di kung anu anung pakulo. sobra na politicking at wala na sa reality ang ibang mga consehal.
42. arden salvatierra | July 2nd, 2007 at 12:52 pm
ei mga guyz… totoo ba… implement na daw ang kagaguhang panukala nila na ilagay ang plate no. sa helmet naten? paki-confirm naman… wala ba tyong gagawing action jan? asan na ung mga lawyer riders naten jan… okay lng ba s nyo na ganituhin tyo? kilos na… ndi ba tyo magpetition/appeal? MR? ano ba nman yan… walang kakwenta kwentang idea tlaga yan… papayag nlng ba tyo ng ganyan… wala bang protest ride jan? walang bang nagorganize sa nyo mga nakakataas? painform naman kami… kung kelangan magleave ako sa trabaho ko just to join a protest ride (kung meron nga) okay lng saken… please wag tyong pumayag… ndi tama eh… shit! nabuburyong na ko sa mga tarantadong mga yan…
43. dencio | July 3rd, 2007 at 5:38 am
nakalay sa safety manual na wag pinturahan o dikitan ng adhesive ang helmet baka maapiktuhan ang matirials o maging marupok. kagoon din siguro ang mag pag-iisip nila. di dapat ipatupag ang batas na yan
44. dytter | July 3rd, 2007 at 12:15 pm
Correct me if I’m wrong but if you ride an MC and don’t wear a helmet it’s only a traffic violation? but, if you wear a helmet with no plate number on it it’s considered as a criminal offense? And, the clincher here is that MMDA personnel in motorcycle na naka baseball cap lang will apprehend you for your violation.
The problem with BF is he is like a horse. Both of his eyes are covered on the side and he just sees what’s in front of him. Like his harebrained idea, he thinks that this is the solution and won’t even consider the opinions of those opposing his idea.
45. chescrchar | July 3rd, 2007 at 12:17 pm
Soon they will require plate number on your jacket, pants and boots, then your underwear. So ladies if you want a ride wear my thongs!!!

48. grady | July 3rd, 2007 at 6:41 pm
Before i used to admire bf for the improvement he has made in the metropolis specially in our area here in qc, all the while i thought he is damn good genius in solving or atleast reducing traffic jams in the metro, but with this latest prosoped law on helmet sticker, well i just want him to know he is not making our (riders) lives easy instead making another reason to bother everytime he see a man riding a motorcycle coz the riders are mad at him…Chairman having a motorcycle now a days is not a crime, so don’t treat us (riders) one.
49. ramon | July 3rd, 2007 at 10:23 pm
i was speaking to my lawyer about this problem of ours. this is what i learned. firstly there are 3 public hearings that by law must first go thru before this ordinance is to be implemented by law. and i believe if we have a lawyer to represent our case will we have better chance to win, we could or should have gathered together at the public hearings to show our support against the mmda. rallies can get kinda tricky. i just dont know now if the those 3 public hearing have already happened. peace and joy riders
50. paperoni | July 4th, 2007 at 12:32 pm
reply to ramon’s msg: uu nga sir… ang alam ko den dapat may public hearing na mangyari/nangyari before nila implement ung katangahan na idea nila… ang problem lng naten ndi naten alam kun may naganap/magaganap ngang public hearing… pra we can oppose dun sa katarantaduhan idea nila na yan… sana lng ung mga organizers ng MCP at iba pang katulad nito ay kumilos na… at gumawa ng actions regarding d2 sa problema naten na to.. at kung may action na nga cla… sana inform nila tyo pra we can give our support sa kanila dba…. un lng… thanks.. safe ride…

Another conspiracy inspired to generate revenue to the ailing MMDA since they already lost their influence to hail on their victims and start extorting money.
Considering the fact that this “helmet sticker” law will cripple a lot more motorcyclists out of their wallets considering the expense we have to go through in registering for new plate stickers. What’s worse, not a lot of bikers I know owns one helmet, and I own three, one for every occassion.
What would stop them in thinking that they should be replaced on a yearly basis, plus adding more than Php 1,300 (just paid last month) on insurance, smoke emission tests and fees? The idiocy is piling up so much political clout that it’s just begging to be kicked in the crotch, hard.
If they can think of something as absurd as “helmet stickers”, then they should do something about speeding up the road repairs happening at the West Service Road in Paranaque.
Ride on, people!

with the kind of moron fernando is, i dont believe they conducted any public hearing, just like any other government agency, hocus focus sila gaya ng contracts lalo nat kamag-anak nila ang nagbi bid. Pero what are we waiting for? Do we have lawyers to help us fight this insane law?
Siguro wag na nga lang magsuot ng helmet 350 ang multa kesa may suot na helmet ng alang sticker 3thou tapos inpound pa MC mo? really ubsurb…

most logical thing to do just like in other countries make the plate more visible.why not aprehend car and bikes with dark plates and without plates? common sense lang and do your job and not try to pass the buck on us..

Bakit ba kung anu-ano ang naiisip ni Mr. Pinkfence!!! Dagdag delihensya na naman yang idea nya. Dapat ang gawin nila ay ipatupad muna ang batas at hindi dagdagan ng dagdagan. Hindi naman kulang… ang kulang lang ay yung implementasyon at dagdag ng check points. Ang dami naaaksidente na kulang ang safety gears, hindi naman nasisita. Ano ba yan!!!! Yan na nga ba ang sinasabi ko noong araw pa… bata pa si Isabel ngayon nasa hukay na…. (”,)

Tanong lang kay BF wala bang figure kung may nagidnap na gumamit ng motorsiklo?siguro wala pa! dapat ng i promote pa niya na gumamit na lang ng motor ang mga pinoy!tipid sa oras, gasolina kaso tipid naring sila sa mga kotong nila dahil babawasan na enforcers. sa kabila nito malilinis lalo metro manila dahil imbes na mag traffic maglinis nalang. motorsiklo 35-40kms/liter pagisipan mo chairman mababawan ang pag import natin ng langis at paggamit ng dolyar
