CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - As the peace and order drive in the city is being strengthened, the City Council has adopted a resolution requesting Congress of the Philippines to amend the National Helmet Law. Legislators are seeking

a prohibition on wearing of helmets that cover the whole face of motorcycle riders within the city proper. The resolution was authored by Councilor Juan Sia, chair of the committee on commerce, who noted

that there has been a number of killing and shooting incidents in the city wherein the attackers were wearing full-face helmets. According to Sia, most of the incidents have remained unsolved since the perpetrators could not be

recognized. The councilor cited that some cities in the country have already enacted ordinances prohibiting the wearing of helmets by motorcyclists while driving within the city proper. (LCR/jdelpf )
