The July 19 deadline for motorcycle riders to comply with barriers for pillion riding was extended to July 26 for them to have more time to conform to the safety standards, the Joint Task Force COVID Shield said on Saturday.
Police Lt. Gen. Guillermo Lorenzo Eleazar, commander of the JTF COVID Shield, said their recommendation for extension was approved by the National Task Force Against COVID-19 amid calls from motorcycle riders and some officials for more time for compliance on the two approved designs— the Bohol prototype and the Angkas design.
Motorists themselves have been asking for extension in order to ensure that their compliance conforms to the safety standards set by the NTF Against COVID-19. While waiting for the full implementation of the motorcycle barrier, Eleazar said they will continue to warn those who have not complied to follow the rules set by the NTF Against COVID-19 in the soonest possible time. He added that they will also continue to apprehend motorists for other violations.
Eleazar also asked for understanding and patience, saying calls to normalize back-riding due to limitations of public transportation will eventually be allowed depending on the compliance to the motorcycle barrier for pillion riding.
