Republic of the Philippines
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Quezon City
FIFTEENTH CONGRESS
Second Regular Session
HOUSE RESOLUTION No. 2123
______________________________
RESOLUTION
DIRECTING THE COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION
TO CONDUCT AN INQUIRY, IN AID OF LEGISLATION, ON THE CONCERNS CAUSED BY THE INCREASING NUMBER OF MOTORCYCLE USERS
IN THE PHILIPPINES
WHEREAS, on Oct. 24, 2011, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) started fully enforcing the use of motorcycle lanes in Commonwealth Avenue and the Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard, requiring motorcycle riders to take the first lane from the sidewalk in Macapagal, and the fourth in Commonwealth. Those traveling outside the so-called “blue lanes,” as they are marked, are now being charged with a P500 fine, besides being required to attend on on-the-spot seminar;
WHEREAS, on the day of its implementation, a motorcycle riders’ group Motorcycle Rights Organization (MRO), through its chair Jobert Christian Bolanos, filed for the issuance of a temporary restraining order on the enforcement of motorcycle lanes at the Quezon City Regional Trial Court. Bolanos cited safety, constitutionality and lack of consultation as reasons for opposing the scheme. The MRO also questioned the basis for the scheme, citing the fact that it is supposedly based on an ordinance promulgated by Quezon City and Pasay;
WHEREAS, MMDA Chair Francis Tolentino said the motorcycle lanes are not exclusive to motorcycles and that other vehicles may occupy the lane in case other lanes are full. However, motorcycles cannot leave their designated lane. In a position paper addressed to the MMDA, Bolanos wrote, “Imposing a 100 meter rule for the motorcycles to move out of their lane to cross 4 other lanes to get to a u-turn slot is near impossible. It can only happen when there are hardly any other vehicles along the road or if the rider attempts an extremely dangerous maneuver across the highway.” He also said that it is also difficult and dangerous for them to maneuver and drive in the lane as PUVs, trucks and other vehicles cross their lane;
WHEREAS, the motorcycle riders said they are amenable to the motorcycle lane only if the infrastructure supports it and the conditions are ideal. According to a 2005 study by Engrs. Ricardo Sigua and Hilario Sean Palmiano from the University of the Philippines, “The rule of assigning lanes to vehicle type is applied all throughout the whole stretch of the road, even at the intersection approach. This rule creates a major problem on turning vehicles – cars turning right conflict with motorcycles going straight or turning left; motorcycles turning left conflict with cars going straight or turning right. The problem is compounded when the number of turning cars or motorcycles becomes large;”
WHEREAS, MMDA said data from their Road Safety Unit show that accidents involving motorcycles have increased in Metro Manila, from 12,656 accidents and 104 fatalities in 2008 to 16,208 accidents and 177 fatalities in 2010;
WHEREAS, motorcycle riders are also calling for the government to focus on the education and training of drivers in the long run. They said the “indiscriminate issuance of R1 licenses to unqualified riders” should be stopped, as well as the strict enforcement of laws to all drivers, regardless of vehicle;
WHEREAS, in addition to the motorcycle lane, MRO is concerned with other local ordinances such as the one already in effect in Baguio, requiring motorcycles to follow a “color-coding” scheme. They complain that enforcers remove the plates of parked motorcycles supposedly violating the scheme, regardless if the drivers are aware of the local ordinance or not. Other ordinances proposed include: (1) mandatory wearing of a vest with plate number in Marikina, (2) prohibition of having a male “backride” in Manila, penalty is a P3,000 fine or 30 days imprisonment, and (3) banning of full face helmets and balaclava (cloth headgear) also in Manila. Besides entailing additional costs, motorcycle riders lament the lack of proper public consultations. Instead of having confusing and inconsistent local ordinances, Congress should pave the way for a national law that is responsive to the needs of motorcycle riders and the rights of pedestrians and other motorists;
WHEREAS, the use of motorcycles have been increasing exponentially in Asian countries because it is a cheaper and a gas-efficient alternative to four-wheeled vehicles. A large number of the workforce rely on motorcycles to get to work. According to LTO data, motorcycles, with 3.48 million registered in 2010, have already outnumbered cars (808,000) and PUVs (1.7 million). It is in this light that the group MRO has expressed concern that motorcycle riders should probably have their own set of road regulations and licensing tests given their large number and the slightly different nature of their vehicles;
WHEREAS, it is time that government seriously consider the implications of a growing motorcycle population in the country, as well as address problems of corruption which continues to hamper the education and discipline of the motorcycle-riding community. Government should dialogue with these motorcycle riders’ groups to help address their concerns;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Committee on Transportation, conduct an inquiry, in aid of legislation, on the concerns caused by the increasing number of motorcycle users in the Philippines.

CB110 Tank Bag
For those who owned a CB110 and does not like to put a Givi box (just like me) a tank bag would be our best option to carry those baggages.
There's a lot of tank bag available in the market but the branded ones cost roughly Php 3,000 above. Thus, trying to search for a cheap but quality tank bag I was able to find one online. Here is the picture of the tank bag that I was able to find. This cost Php 1,500 but is not a magnetic tank bag, It is just a strap tank bag.
Here are some pictures of it:
and here is the contact info of the seller:

Motorcycle lane ipapatupad na sa EDSA bago ang Valentine’s Day
reposting at baka nakakalimutan niyo na na malapit na ang February 14 at mag rarason na naman kayo na di niyo alam.
Plano ng Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) na ilunsad ang segregated motorcycle lane sa Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) bago ang Valentine’s Day sa Pebrero 14.
Ayon kay MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino, sinimulan na ang groundwork sa implementasyon ng motorcycle lane na nagresolba sa serye ng aksidenteng sa daan partikular sa Commonwealth Avenue sa Quezon City.
“I think before Valentines Day we will implement a similar plan along EDSA. I have already ordered my men to start installing the signages that would inform motorists of our plan,” pahayag ni Tolentino.
Sinabi ni Tolentino na ang plano sa implementasyon sa nasabing iskema sa 24-kilometrong kalsada sinimulan noong nakaraang taon matapos itong ipatupad ng ahensiya sa 12.5 kilometrong Commonwealth Avenue, tinaguriang “killer highway”, at ng Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard sa Pasay City.
Pinag-iisipan ding ipatupad ang iskema sa C-5 Road.
Ang tumataas na bilang ng mga aksidente sa lansangan na kinasasangkutan ng mga motorsiklo ang nagtulak sa MMDA na maglagay ng motorcycle lane kasabay ng pagpapatupad sa 60-kilometer per hour speed limit sa mga sasakyan noong nakaraang taon.
Rumehistro sa rekord ng MMDA Road Safety Unit na patuloy ang pagtaas sa serye ng aksidente sa motorsiklo sa Metro Manila. Naitala ang 12,656 na nasugatan at 104 na nasawi noong 2008; 13,561 nasugatan at 105 nasawi noong noong 2009; at 16,208 nasugatan at 177nasawi noong 2010. – Nannet Valle
HANSEL "ZORRO" STYLE HANDLE BAR
Last Sunday (10/16/2011), after Dark Knight gave me the handle bar, I was able to have some time to replace the stock handle bar of my CB110 with the Zorro type handle bar.
Below are some pictures of the Zorro Handle bar on my CB110.
Hansel had been sealed.
For the past 2 weeks I had been adding air to my rear wheel everyday. I know that there is something wrong with my tire but thinking of the hassle of removing and bringing the tires to a vulcanizing shop makes me not to have my tire vulcanize.
Then last Saturday when I went to Cainta and cleaned my motorcycle, we (My father and I) found that there is a small hole on my tire and again I was advice by my father to have it vulcanized but knowing how much it cost to have a hole repaired in a tubeless tires (PHP 60.00 FYI) I informed my father that I'm planning to have CYCLESEAL installed on my tires.
So after clearning my motorcycle, I immediately text that number I got from MCP for a Cycleseal dealer in Las Pinas and asked how much and what time are they going to close. I was informed that the price is PHP 350.00 (as expected) and they will be close at around 5pm. So after having lunch and resting for awhile I asked my parents that I have to go home so I can have Cycleseal installed in my tires.
Below are some of the pictures taken while Hansel tires are being filled with CycleSeal.
As of now, I'm very satisfied with the product as the small hole cannot be searched after we put the Cycleseal in my rear tire.
Thank you very much Cycleseal for this wonderful product and Thank you to Sir Ricky of Skutzko for taking the time to install the Cycleseal.
