THE DEPARTMENT of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has now allowed motorcycle rider to have one passenger, but provided they are couple and live-in partners.
DILG Secretary Eduardo Año said the order allowing “back-rider” took effect July 10 and motorcycle must have a protective shield between the driver and passenger and they should wear facemask in compliance with the guidelines set by the Inter-agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID).
“Simula July 10 ay papayagan na natin ang back-riding ngunit sa couples lang muna. Alam naman natin ang sitwasyon ngayon, tumataas ang bilang ng mga positive cases. At least ang couple ay nakatira sa iisang bahay lang iyan,” he said.
Año said that a prototype design submitted by Bohol Governor Arthur Yap was adopted by the IATF-MEID and shall be strictly followed. “Yung prototype model na sinubmit ni Gov. Arthur Yap, approved na iyan ng IATF-MEID at ito yung pinaka-prototype na gagamitin natin,” he said.
Yap proposed the installation of a protective barrier between the passengers of a motorcycle to allow back-riding without compromising health and safety. “Maganda ito sapagkat protektado ang passenger. May handle sa side nung barrier at lalagpas sa ulo niya ‘yung barrier para sigurado na walang laway na tatalsik and at the same time kailangang magsuot ng mask at naka-helmet iyung rider at passenger,” he explained.
Año reminded the public though that as the design of the motorcycle is modified, riders must be cautious. “Kailangan dito ay dobleng pag-iingat sa pagdadrive, dapat ay sumunod tayo sa speed limit. Noon nga nagkakaroon ng disgrasya kahit wala pang barrier, kaya mas lalo tayong dapat mag-ingat ngayon,” he said.
He said back-riders will be asked to present documents at quarantine control points or to law enforcers as proof that they are indeed a couple. For married couple, they should have the same last name, and for live-in partners - they must share the same home address.
“They should bring copies of their marriage certificate and present IDs if asked by law enforcers. Ang couple is living in the same household, either they are married, or common-law husband and wife, or boyfriend or girlfriend.”
“Sa ID ay dapat magkapareho ng apelyido at kapag naman common-law husband and wife ay kailangang the same address sa ID. There are so many ways to prove naman that indeed they are a couple. Kapag hindi sila sumunod ay mapaparusahan sila. Maraming kaukulang kaso na puwedeng isampa sa kanila,” Año said. (Zamboanga Post)
