There is no question that motorcycle riders should wear a helmet. But the sticker which is P105 each is overpriced & overkill. The habal-habal drivers can hardly afford to buy the cheapest half faced helmet sold at 168 or 138 store which is only P90 how much more with the additional costs of stickers. DTI or LTO donot even have the capacity to test the pressure capacity of helmets and on what the standard should be. They only have on hand 7000 stickers available as of last week, and there are more than 350,000 motorcycle riders. this will mean that LTO will have more chance to issue tickets to motorists or receive bribes whichever comes first. This law is very, very anti poor. There are 90 million motorcycle riders in China and you can hardly see one wearing full faced helmets on electric bikes, 50 cc, 100 cc. Underneath those helmets are heads just like ours... Are they(LTO) pretending to be more safty conscious than china or Vietnam where the motorcycle is the poor man's transport just like OUR COUNTRY.

Not long ago, the LTO/CITOM implemented the full faced helmets to the riders, the riders had to scramble to buy full faced helmets; and then, the drive by shooting and assassination crimes using motorcycles and using full faced helmets gave them a hard time catching culprits, they again banned and apprehended riders with full faced helmets.... The riders had to buy again, half faced helmets showing their faces. NOW, THEY ARE AGAIN IMPLEMENTING THE FULL FACED HELMET EVEN ON THE SMALLEST BIKE AND TO GO WITH IT ARE STICKERS WHICH ARE ONLY 7000 PCS. AVAILABLE...

These lawmakers are making a fool of the citizens. They should regulate helmets (the LTO, DTI, CUSTOMS) so all helmets will be within regulated standard. There will be no more importation of sub-standard helmets. You cannot buy sub-standard helmets in the stores if it is regulated; since, there are no more importations, afterall it is their job to regulate helmets. There will be no more stickers required, since it is regulated...... AND THE LTO CANNOT MAKE CORRUPT MONEY ANYMORE!!!.... This comment is not against wearing helmets but against the implementation of an absurd anti-poor law.... STICKER?Its only in the Philippines!

They cannot regulate the helmets and now, they are punishing the poor riders who can hardly make ends meet!! PNOY LISTEN TO YOUR BOSSES!
