That is about right.  Punish everyone for the mistakes of a few.  Instead of getting the police to do their job it is easier to pass an almost unenforceable law...   The Philippines is more like the US than I thought ha ha  :tiphat:

I think it's pretty funny, especially the comments on the link.

 

There is a town up in the north (I forget the name) that made it illegal to wear full face helmets in their quest to address this problem. How can they make something illegally locally that is a requirement on the federal level? Only in the Philippines.....

What province is Mandaluyong City located in?  The news article didn't say.  Is it in Luzon or Mindanao?

Mandaluyong City is in Metro Manila (Where Camp Crame is to the River).

MANILA - Mandaluyong City Mayor Benhur Abalos inspected several checkpoints in the city on Thursday morning for the first day of implementation of a controversial policy on motorcycle riding.

Mandaluyong City Ordinance 550 prohibits two males who are not first-degree relatives from riding a motorcycle in the city.

Two men on board a motorcycle will be required to present documents or IDs proving that they are related to each other.

Female or children passengers are exempted from the ordinance.

Most of those apprehended said they were not aware of the new ordinance. They also complained of the delays caused by the apprehension.

A fine of P1,000 will be imposed for the first offense, P2,000 for second offense, and P3,000 for third offense.

The city is still pilot testing the ordinance to see if it will be successful in reducing crimes involving motorcycle riders.

Several groups have slammed the city ordinance, saying it violates basic rights.

Metro Manila has passed the same law but not started it yet.  Pasay City ban the wearing of full face helmets within the city except for EDSA and Roxas Blvd.  Quezon city are bringing in a law were a high visibilty jacket with the number of the bike is worn by all riders. I posted a news article the Mandaluyong City law started today with lots of checkpoints.  As its P1000 fine thats one law the enforcers will be hot on enforcing
