A few months back, the LTO... Now, the PNP...

It's been a while since the blog has been updated and I am sorry for that. After our work presented positive results in the AO issue with the LTO, the organization decided to keep the curtains down while we worked silently on a few projects concerning motorcycle rights.

We have made inquiries and have sent letters of concern over the parking issues and road hazards to the people concerned and have been continuously monitoring the LTO for any unscrupulous movements.

In the most recent couple of weeks, we have been bombarded with some alarming news about a certain shootout in Paranaque which lead to the death of a father and child who was mistaken as part of the target. This also lead to the shootout of an individual who was on his way to his night shift work just because he was riding a motorcycle and wearing a black jacket.

The incident, has again brought concern to the MRO so we are again mounting up and letting our voices be heard.

We are calling on the people who can help us get in contact with the families of the victims of the PNP's failure to properly conduct their service to the people. We would like them to partake in the plan to hold another peaceful motorcade which will end up with an offering of a mass for the victims and their families. We also hope to raise a small amount which will be offered to them for their losses.

So again, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for the silence and call upon our readers to heed our call for support once again. We cannot and will not allow the PNP or any other person to brand and profile us as criminals just because we ride motorcycles.

We call on justice for the bloody murder and obvious and blatant display of discrimination towards motorcycle riders.

Thank you!
