By: Consuelo Marquez - 4 hours ago

MANILA, Philippines — The government’s task force against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) will allow pillion riding for couples with strict health protocols starting Friday, July 10, Interior Secretary Eduardo Año announced on Thursday.

“Simula bukas, papayagan na natin yung backriding sa mga couple at yung prototype model na sinumbmit ni (Bohol) Gov. Arthur Yap, approved na yan ng NTF (National Task Force) at ito yung prototype na gagamitin natin,” Año, vice chairman of the Inter Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Disease (IATF-EID), said in a Teleradyo interview.

(Starting tomorrow, we will allow motorcycle backriding for couples and the prototype model that was submitted by Bohol Gov. Arthur Yap, was approved by the NTF and this is the prototype that we will be using.)



The model, which allows passengers behind motorcycle drivers, has dividers and handles between the riders and passengers to contain the spread of COVID-19, Año said.

“May barrier between rider and passenger pagkatapos may handle sa side nung barrier at the same time kailangan mag wear ng mask at nakahelmet yung rider at passenger,” he said.

(There is a barrier between rider and passenger then there is a handle on the side of the barrier at the same time they need to wear a mask and helmet.)

Año said couples are either married individuals or non-married couples with the same address.
Couples may present identification cards (IDs) as proof, Año said.

Presidential spokesman Harry Roque previously announced that the government will soon allow pillion riding with guidelines drafted by the National Task Force against COVID-19.

Dili nako ma gets ang idea nila nganong dapat naay barrier, pero I would think nga ila nani gihuna2x daan nga basin ang ma habal2x magpakaron ingnon nga kaliwat para lang makapamasahiro, or basin pangandam nalang ni daan puhon inkaso i allow na tanan balik ang backride.

Ang wala nako ma gets sa post.. Martial Law? That has got to be a figure of speech right?

I don't agree with you though. Your definition of frontliner is pretty much limited.

How about ang mga nurses, doctors, pharmacists, security guards, crew sa mga fastfood chains, cashiers, etc. You don't consider them as frontliners?

Last time I've heard about Batas Militar - it was a Dictator in the executive, and carrying over the functions of the Judiciary, and Legislative with the military carrying out the laws promulgated by said dictator.

However, if this is your definition of Martial Law, I would have to disagree with you.

Heck, the Legislative even promulgated a law "Bayanihan Law" to counter this pandemic. Thus, I won't subscribe to your idea of martial law.
