    ROAD SAFETY SERIES NO. 5: Child safety not a major concern for drivers, riders

    By RAYMOND GREGORY TRIBDINO  |  Oct 19, 2016 4:52 PM

    Texting while driving continues despite law

    Oct 16, 2016 12:28 PM

    By MICHAEL JOE T. DELIZO MORE than two months after Republic Act 10913 or the Anti-Distracted Driving Act  lapsed into law, it has hardly changed the bad habits of many Filipino drivers. Many are seen making calls and texting while driving. Joselle Segismundo, 25, an employee of Land Transportation Office, is knowledgeable about the law. […]

    ROAD SAFETY ISSUE NO. 5: Protecting the Filipino pedestrian

    Oct 04, 2016 4:47 PM

    By RAYMOND GREGORY TRIBDINO MOST motorists do not consider pedestrians are road users. This makes pedestrians, everywhere in the world, high-risk safety concerns.

According to WHO’s Global Status Report on […]

    The blurry drunk driving situation

    Sep 18, 2016 3:00 PM

    By DINNA LOUISE C. DAYAO The extraordinary thing about Republic Act No. 10586 or the Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Act of 2013 is that it was enacted despite the lack of coherent data on drunk driving in the country. For years, three government agencies have been gathering data on road traffic injuries and deaths: the […]

    Five years after, still no justice for Ma’am Chit

    Aug 19, 2016 11:30 PM

    By JAKE SORIANO [metaslider id=48020] Photos by LALA ORDENES At first glance, the Quezon City Regional Trial Court looks more like a church than a court.

    Despite glaring data, road crashes ‘not a public health issue’

    Aug 18, 2016 3:33 PM

    By MARIA FEONA IMPERIAL WITH startling clarity, 22-year-old Joshua Broqueza recalls how a split second in his life landed him in a hospital bed, bleeding and almost lifeless. It was in the middle of the night, when he and his friends aboard a Toyota Vios were on the Albay province’s so-called killer highway, Maharlika Highway. […]
