    Another law to be disregarded. Sayang lang budget dyan sa Congress at Senate, wala naman law except on tax na implemented. What ever happened to the drunk driving law, 1 day lang meron nahuli tapos wala na uli.

    This law is entitled: “Children’s Safety on Motorcycles Act of 2015.”

    There is nothing wrong with it. But, implementation is another thing.

    This is the prohibited act--

    SEC. 4. Prohibition. – It shall be unlawful for any person to drive a two (2)-wheeled motorcycle with a child on board on public roads where there is heavy volume of vehicles, there is a high density of fast moving vehicles or where a speed limit of more than 60/kph is imposed, unless:

    (a) The child passenger can comfortably reach his/her feet on the standard foot peg of the motorcycle;
    (b) The child’s arms can reach around and grasp the waist of the motorcycle rider; and
    (c) The child is wearing a standard protective helmet referred to under Republic Act No. 10054, otherwise known the “Motorcycle Helmet Act of 2009.”

    To be educated more about it, follow this link:

    Republic Act No. 10666 | Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines

    but here is the rub-- the implementing agency is not that ready to enforce it.

    Agreed sir. Sadly, we have a lot of good and well meaning laws that the concerned agencies and parties are not really implementing due to one reason or another.

    ^ that's true. ^ but under the rules of court, we have the so-called "citizen's arrest." in other words, a law-abiding citizen can effect an arrest if, in his presence, the person to be arrested has committed, is actually committing, is about to commit a crime.
