Tagaytay Road project a success

Officials in Tagaytay City tagged as successful the “no helmet, no travel” policy being enforced in the area.

Colonel Celedonio T. Tibayan, chief of Tagaytay Public Safety Office, said that since the policy was implemented strictly, accidents involving motorcycle-riders became nil in the city.

“The no helmet, no travel policy does not only remind motorcycle-riders to wear safety head gears but to drive safely wherever they are in the city. Our concern here is accident prevention,” Tibayan said in an interview.

Tibayan said that Tagaytay has been a “no helmet, no travel zone” since the helmet-wear ordinance was approved by Mayor Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino and the city council two years ago.

The ordinance prohibits anyone from riding a motorcycle without the required head gear. Otherwise, a fine of P1,500 will be slapped against violators

Tagaytay Bans pedicabs

Tagaytay also bans kuligligs, pedicabs
Manila Bulletin – Thursday, December 2SendIM StoryPrint
MANILA, Philippines – Officials in Tagaytay City, Cavite, have implemented strictly the just-approved ordinance banning the operation of the so-called “kuliglig” (motorized pedicabs) on major thoroughfares in the area.

The city police led by Superintendent Dexter Rellora and the Office of Public Safety under (ret.) Col. Celodonio Tibayan were tasked to lead the enforcement of the ordinance against the “kuliglig.”

“Even as we have to see yet a kuliglig operating in the city, we have already an ordinance against the concerned vehicles,” said Leilani Diesta, Tagaytay public information and tourism officer.

The ban is contained in City Ordinance 2010-06 that the 11-man Sangguniang Panglungsod (SP) ratified only last month. The ordinance, which was also approved by Mayor Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino, prohibits “pedicabs” (pedal tricycles) and motorized pedicabs (kuliglig) from traveling on highways and other main thoroughfares of the city.

The ordinance against the pedicabs and “kuliglig” was filed by Councilor Alexander Zaide upon recommendation of Vice Mayor and Sangguniang Presiding Officer Celso de Castro. The decree was unanimously approved by the Sanggunian.

The officials made the move, citing the “Clean Air Act” and traffic woes, among others.

The concerned vehicles are not allowed to ply on Aguinaldo Highway, Jose P. Rizal Avenue, Tagaytay-Nasugbu, Mendez-Tagaytay, Tagaytay-Calamba and Tagaytay-Sta. Rosa Roads, among others.

Pedicabs, which are for domestic or business use, can travel only on barangay (village) roads or secondary streets. The ordinance specified that drivers of the vehicles must comply with the city requirements and secure a permit from barangay officials for them to use the three-wheel vehicles in the allowed areas.

Tagaytay, known as the “City of Smiles and Friendly People,” is a prime tourist destination nearest Metro Manila. Local officials are doing everything for the city in terms of cleanliness and peace and order.

The City of Manila also banned the “kuliglig” and pedicabs on major roads. The ban drew protests from the drivers, citing they were deprived of their “means of livelihood.”
