RIDING IN TANDEM ORDINANCE

Mandaluyong City Mayor Benhur Abalos shows a copy of Ordinance 550, S-2014 which regulates motorcycle riding in tandem in the city. The ordinance exempts 7 to 10 year-old children and adult females as backriders but specifically prohibits backriding for both males who are not first degree relatives. Mayor Abalos proposed to the city council the enactment of this ordinance in response to the growing number of riding in tandem-related crimes committed. Also in photo are City Police Chief Sr Supt Tyrone Masigon and Councilor Charisse Abalos.
