MAMANG PULIS --PHILIPPINE National Police-Highway Patrol Group director Chief Supt. Leonardo A. Espina issued a strict guidelines for all HPG Motorcycle Riders to follow during official escort missions. Motorcycle riders or “hagad” are not allowed to use sirens and blinkers during their trip or make a counter-flow. Espina said HPG Riders are also barred from stopping an oncoming vehicle , including from the opposite lane/intersection; beating the red light, making abrupt cutting of lanes and wearing jackets to conceal their nameplates except during inclement weather. The HPG chief also barred the practice of some Riders to tap the doors and windows of other vehicles or sideswipe them on the highways. He said any personnel violating his directives will face administrative sanctions. Espina said HPG Riders were also instructed to act with dispatch during requests for assistance, go with traffic flow, brief VIPs on how their escort duties will be conducted and maximize utilization of other traffic enforcers on the road. “The use of sirens and blinkers is only allowed in case of emergency situation particularly when the Riders need to react on any given situation to protect the VIPs and secure their safety and security,” he said. Espina reiterated his instructions after he witnessed an incident involving some abusive Land Transportation Office Motorcycle Riders using sirens along EDSA last July 22. He referred the case to LTO chief Assistant Secretary Virgie Santos, who ordered a thorough investigation of the incident. Espina happened to be one of the seven police generals on board an unmarked bus that was flagged down by the LTO agents. With him were Chief Supts. Alan Purisima, Francisco Don Montenegro, Reginald Villasanta, Napoleon Estilles, Charles Calima, Jr. and Francisco Altarejos, Jr. The LTO men apologized after learning who they were accosting and sped away. |

1) Makikitid ang ating kalye kadalasan ito ay mga two-way lamang
2) sobrang Dami na ng naka motor at yung mga publis trasport ay di nasusunod ang designated area ng loading at offloading.
3) Kung sa Edsa papano magagawan ng bike lane kung mayroon ng bus lane sa gawing kanan ng lansangan.
Paigtingin na lang ng mga escort ang kanilang pagigigng alerto at kailangan planuhin nilang maigi ang kanilang rota
