"motorized" pedicabs/kuligligs on the rise! [MERGED]

[jjmd3_787]

Have you seen this lately on the road? Many of them lurks in the streets especially in the city of Manila (where they are very well tolerated). Perfect example of Filipino ingenuity and creativity. But why the concern?

Picture this scenario . . . you are driving along the road then suddenly a motorized pedicab bumps you from the side, creating a huge dent and scratches. The driver just scratches his head. No money to compensate for the damages. No LTO driver's license. No plate # on his vehicle.

Nakakaasar di po ba?! And believe me, hataw silang sumingit at magpatakbo. Anong hinihintay ng mga awtoridad natin? Ang may mamatay dahil sa aksidente sangkot ang mga ito?!

Attention: [SIZE=3]PNP, LTO, at Mayor Lim[/SIZE]

[pitbullz]

mga taong grasa lang yan na natutong magpatakbo ng ganun ayon sa kakilala ko

dapat bawal yan dahil walang papeles. kailangan meron dahil motorized na sila

[incus]

marami din sa bandang pasay, pasingit singit at madalas mag-counter flow pa. wala naman nanghuhuli, nakikita na ng mga traffic enforcer di naman pinapansin madalas kakilala pa nila ang driver.

[pitbullz]

delikado nyan walang ilaw ang mga yan

[chua_riwap]

Sa Carriedo, dami nyan. Dati, pang hakot lang ng kalakal gamit nyan. Ngayon, pampasada na.

And....kinakabitan pa ng exhaust na katunog ng big bikes.......

[mr_incredible]

Sa Bustillos marami niyan. Iba-ibang klase. Merong pedicab lang, motorized bicycle, tapos meron ding motorsiklo na mismo nakakabit. Sila pa ang galit pag nakasalubong mo.

Tama si jjmd3_787. Wala nga silang license plate. Di ba dapat kapag motorized public transportation merong plaka para regulated ng LTO?

Dati nung ordinaryong pedicab pa lang yan, hinahatak sila. Pero, after nilang hatakin, siguro nagbabayad na lang mga pedicab driver kasi in a few hours, nakabalik na naman silang lahat sa bustillos.

[atomictom]

talamak na talaga yan, nakakatakot talaga makipagsabayan sa mga kuliglig na yan. paano mo sila sisingilin? paano mo sila idedemanda e wala naman sila maayos o permanente na tirahan?

sadyang pabaya ang ating lipunan.

dapat ibalik ang discipline revolution (pero walang martial law) and dapat lahat kasali pati taga-gobyerno- hay, ang sarap mangarap!

Gasolina kasi ang makina nila ay yung maliit na motor na ginagamit din sa bukid. Filipino ingenuity at its best ika nga . . . sa maling konsepto.

Talamak na din yan sa Divisoria. Ang lalakas ng loob gumitgit.

Dumami sila sa panahon ni Mayor Lim dyan sa Manila. Ewan ko kung anong bertud meron ang mga ito at di sila hinuhuli?

There is no city ordinance which bans them and the operators of those contraptions are policemen. Those Manila yellow traffic enforcers just ignore them. The only time FILIPINO authorities will react is when someone gets killed...

Just matter of time...

Actually there is an ordinance in most metro cities. The MMDA and other traffic authorities are just turning a blind-eye. Selective apprehension I would say...


At this time, I would say these 3-wheeled vehicles are free to roam the major city streets... until elections are over...

MANILA, Philippines—Pedicab and "kuliglig" (motorized pedicab) drivers in the city of Manila on Thursday expressed their opposition to Mayor Alfredo Lim's executive orders seeking to ban them from the city streets starting December 1.

The Alyansa ng Nagkakaisang Pedicab at Kuliglig Drivers Manila (Alnapedku) held a press conference Thursday noon at Nepomuceno St., Quiapo to ask the city government to reconsider its decision.

"Kami po ay tutol sa E.O. 16 at 17 ni Lim na mag-aalis sa aming kabuhayan. Lalo ngayong kapaskuhan, hiling namin ang karapatan sa disenteng hanap-buhay ay bigyan pansin at huwag hayaang magutom ang aming pamilya," ("We are against Lim's E.O. 16 and 17 which would rob us of our livelihood. Especially for the Christmas season, we ask our right to a decent living be acknowledged, and that our families not be allowed to starve,") said Alnapedku spokesperson Fernando Picorro.

But Manila city hall chief-of-staff Ricardo de Guzman said there was little chance the orders would be revoked.

"We have already given them a chance before to change their business and to have them remove their motors," he said. He added they were even given a grace period to do so. The original implementation date of the executive orders was on September 15, which was extended to December 1.

Lim's E.O. 17 banned all pedicabs and tricycles from Ermita-Malate roads, along Taft Avenue from Lawton to Vito Cruz, Roxas Blvd., and all national roads in the city.

They are, however, allowed to operate on sidestreets and residential areas.

Those who violate the orders will be fined P500 and their vehicles impounded.

The city government has been receiving many complaints against the three-wheeled vehicles, largely blamed for worsening air pollution and traffic the city.

Kahit sabi nila na hanapbuhay nila, hindi dapat sa daan ang kuliglig. Delikado sila lalo na pag gabi, wala man lang reflectors or any indication na nandoon sila.

Walang disiplina, walang pakielam sa iba. Sabi nila para sa hanap buhay, pero wala naman silang pakielam sa ibang tao. Pamangkin ng kaklase ko nabangga kasi tanga tanga ang kuliglig, sa sidewalk nagovertake, naipit ang paa ng bata.

Ang dami ko din nakikitang kuliglig drivers na lagi sa lasingan at KTV. For the family my ass. Tamad lang kayo humanap ng ibang trabaho. No offense sa mga advocates ng drivers, observasion lang po.

[Reepicheep]

Basta lang makapaghanap-buhay hindi na baleng maka-abala ng kapwa. Typical PUV driver mentality.

[woohoo]

Kung ayaw nila ma-ban, iparehistro nila ang motorized vehicle nila sa LTO, which is required by law. Good luck with that.

Since the motors used to run the "kuligligs" are not mechanically designed, powered, and intended for land use, these cannot be registered with LTO.

the point exactly! it does not conform to the basic requirements of safety.
ban it!!!

[GTi]

Walang karapatan sila magsalita ng ganyan. Mga delinquent road hazards sila. Hindi nagcoconform sa motorcycle safety standards ang mga contraptions nila. Walang ilaw, bulok ang brakes, maingay, mabagal, palaging tumitirik, ano ba ang masasabi nila. Dapat nga hindi lang sa national roads sila bawal eh. Dapat bawal na talaga! All they do is cause traffic and various other accidents. The country is better off without them.

[puroy]

Thank you kay Mayor Lim! woohoo! =))
