A MESSAGE TO ALL:
I have just finished writing and printing copies of the letter to House Speaker Belmonte asking him to support the amendment filed by Senator Honasan by pushing for a counterpart bill in congress...
I am appealing to him so that our constitutional rights be protected and defended from this RAW law that has left our fellow riders taxed out of their time and days wage to line up for the sticker that is the cause of unscrupulous acts from enterprising officers...
At the same time, I have also printed copies of the letter for LTO Secretary Torres as the primary agency tasked to implement the current law as it is written to hold off on apprehending riders based on the ICC requirement on street level...
If given the chance, I am prepared to offer our help in identifying all stores and sellers that does not comply to the Import Commodity Clearance or Philippine Standard requirement for importing or selling standard, quality helmets to consumers...
My wish is that when I make that commitment, we as MRO volunteers,
help in the correction of the process by reporting stores that does not sell qualified helmets to the consumers...
It is now almost 5AM and I have yet to get some rest prior to some errands I have to do at work and to meet all of you in another day where we practice our right to defend ourselves from unfair and unequal legislation...
I hope to see all of you, in high spirits, united and eager to see this mission through...
For it is within us, the capacity to be part of another moment in our riding lives to battle the injustices left trailing by half baked legislation that taxes us instead of protecting us...
May God bless you all and may we have a safe, meaningful and successful ride today...
For this day is for the riders, by the riders...
We shall prevail!!!
