No LAW on wearing shorts!

Earlier today, during an ambush interview with UKG, I recall Chairman Tolentino saying live that they are implementing the rules and regulations in the operation of motorcycles from back in 2008 from the LTO... I assume that this is AHS-2008-015...

He mentioned that they are apprehending motorcyclists without helmets, wearing slippers and wearing shorts per the law passed back then...

The regulation that came out during that time was the original anti-modification law that was later suspended in the same year...

According to the documents, (AHS-2008-015 as amended by AHS-2008-001) There is no requirements for pants or shorts however, you need to wear your helmet and shoes at all times....

Original law that was suspended:

The amendment to the law above:

MMDA strikes again for wrongful and illegal apprehension based on non-existent laws...

Please double check his interview and kindly quote him saying the basis of the shorts in the law they are implementing...

I feel bad for the people they already apprehended... I am currently calling all the media connections we have collected to inform them about this...
