DOTr: Back-riding not yet allowed in GCQ areas

Allowing "back-riding" on motorcycles in areas under general community quarantine may be difficult to implement considering the huge volume of riders and passengers that need to be checked one by one, an official at the Department of Transportation (DOTr) said Sunday.

This concern arose after Ako Bicol party-list Representative Alfredo Garbin Jr. proposed to allow motorcycle riders to have one back-rider or passenger in GCQ areas, especially if they belong to one household.

DOTr Assistant Secretary Goddes Libiran said traffic enforcers may have a hard time checking every motorcycle rider to ensure that their passenger belong to the same household.

"Hindi kakayanin ng enforcers natin na mano-mano at isa-isang i-check ang mga naka-motor para lang mapatunayan kung magkasama ba sa bahay o magkamag-anak yung magka-back ride," she said.

"Mahirap din i-distinguish kung habal-habal yan o nagpapanggap lang na mag-asawa o magkasama sa bahay," she added.
