"It seems like government vehicles are exempted from the law. Many of these vehicles are still not equipped with seat belts or their passengers do not comply," he noted.

Motorists enjoyed a relaxed first two days of the full implementation of Republic Act 8750 or the Seat Belt Law as enforcers were busy directing traffic in thoroughfares near cemeteries.


According to the Land Transportation Office (LTO), the law was to be fully implemented nationwide starting Wednesday.


But Bobby Aguilar, deputy for Operations of the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), said that enforcers were instead deployed near cemeteries to ensure the smooth flow of traffic.

"We’ll install seat belts on the driver’s seat but as far as the prescribed passenger seat belts are concerned, many things still need to be clarified," said Cesar Apolinario, president of the Integrated Metro Bus Operators Association (IMBOA).

Too many laws, too little enforcement.  This  has often been used to describe
law enforcement in this country. The problem is again being highlighted with
the passage of the Clean Air Act and the Seat Belt Law. While several vehicles
have been impounded, the smoke belchers are still out there, fouling the air
with putrid exhaust, turning Metro Manila into one of the most polluted urban
centers in the world.

Motorists enjoyed a relaxed first two days of the full implementation of Republic Act 8750 or the Seat Belt Law as enforcers were busy directing traffic in thoroughfares near cemeteries.


According to the Land Transportation Office (LTO), the law was to be fully implemented nationwide starting Wednesday.


But Bobby Aguilar, deputy for Operations of the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), said that enforcers were instead deployed near cemeteries to ensure the smooth flow of traffic.

                    [Summary] => Metro bus owners will defy Republic Act 8750 or the Seat Belt Law until the government reviews their complaints about its alleged flawed provisions.


"We’ll install seat belts on the driver’s seat but as far as the prescribed passenger seat belts are concerned, many things still need to be clarified," said Cesar Apolinario, president of the Integrated Metro Bus Operators Association (IMBOA).

                    [Summary] => 

Too many laws, too little enforcement.  This  has often been used to describe
law enforcement in this country. The problem is again being highlighted with
the passage of the Clean Air Act and the Seat Belt Law. While several vehicles
have been impounded, the smoke belchers are still out there, fouling the air
with putrid exhaust, turning Metro Manila into one of the most polluted urban
centers in the world.
