Personal Accident Insurance for Tricycle Drivers & Passengers

There are about twenty four thousand (24,000) registered tricycle units operating in Quezon City. There is no doubt that the tricycle plays a very important role in the life of the Filipinos especially in bringing their children from home to school and from school to home.. For most us, we consider the tricycle as the taxi of Mr. Juan Dela Cruz. 

Like any other sector of our society, the Tricycle Sector needs an immediate attention and care from our government. It has been so long that this important sector of our society has been forgotten both by the National and Local Government.



Lately, Councilor Ramon P. Medalla of the Second District delivered a privilege speech in the plenary of the Regular Session of the City Council of Quezon City entitled, " Tricycle ng Buhay Ko, may Forever ba Tayo," 

In his speech, he said, the tricycle sector was beset with difficulties. There are reports that the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and the Land Transportation Office run after them especially those traversing the National Road in the absence of an alternative road.



The issue that the tricycle is being used as school bus becomes a subject of debate among the government officials. Some wanted to prohibit tricycle to use as service vehicle for schoolchildren. But Councilor Ramon P. Medalla maintained his position that there is no law that prohibits the use of tricycle as service vehicle for schoolchildren beside it will be very difficult for the parents of the schoolchildren to get the services of the school bus. What is prohibited is overloading.



The gate floods with different problems that confronts the tricycle sector such as; tricycle modernization, personal accident insurance for drivers and passenger, lifting of tricycle moratorium, creation of transport service board and many others.


Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte was very very happy about the said ordinance. She believes that the safety and protection of the tricycle drivers and passengers are worth investing for. In the first place, our people are our most precious treasures.This development is a wonderful news to our people.

STATUE OF DIVINE MERCY

THIS GIGANTIC STATUE OF THE DIVINE MERCY MEASURED 50 FEET HIGH PERHAPS THE MOST REMARKABLE MONUMENT IN MINDANAO. IT IS SITUATED IN EL SALVADOR CITY,  AND IT WAS NAMED AFTER THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD, JESUS CHRIST. THE STAIRWAY IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT OF MRT. THOSE WHO HAVE HEALTH CONDITION ARE ADVISED TO STAY ON THE GROUND. TOURISTS AND OTHER VISITORS ARE ADVISED TO OBSERVED PROPER DECORUM SINCE THE ENTIRE PLACE IS SACRED. THOUGH I AM A REFORMED CATHOLIC, VISITING THE PLACE IS A RARE EXPERIENCE  AND I WAS AMAZED TO SEE HOW PEOPLE STRIVE TO CREATE ENORMOUS STATUE LIKE THIS. PILGRIMS FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF ARCHIPELAGO FLOCKED TOGETHER TO SEE THIS WONDERFUL PLACE.  I AM A STRONG BELIEVER THAT PEOPLE'S FAITH CREATED THIS PLACE. THEIR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST WORKS WONDER FOR THEM RECEIVING POSITIVE ANSWERS TO WHAT THEY WISH FOR.

SAVE YOUR SPEECHES FOR THE BEST

THE POLITICAL ARENA IS VERY COLORFUL. WHETHER YOU ARE PARTY MATES OR YOU BELONG TO THE OPPOSING PARTIES, AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WILL DO YOUR BEST TO OUT-DO AND OUT-WIT ONE ANOTHER FOR ONLY ONE REASON, TO ENSURE VICTORY AND REMAIN ON TOP. LOOK AT THEIR SLOGANS OR WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING DURING POLITICAL RALLIES AND CAUCUSES. SOME CLAIM THAT THEIR ONLY VICE IS SERVICE (ANG TANGING BISYO NILA AY SERBISYO). SOME SAYS, "BAYAN ANG NO.1, KAMPEON NG PALUPA, TAGAPAGTANGGOL NG KABABAIHAN, KAMPEON NG EDUKASYON, GUSTO KO HAPPY KA, TAPANG AT MALASAKIT, LAYLAYAN NG LIPUNAN, ITULOY ANG DAANG MATUWID AND A LOT MORE. THEIR SPEECHES ARE WELL ORGANIZED AND CRAFTED. THEY WERE EVEN SUPERB IN THE DELIVERY OF THEIR MASTER PIECE. TO BE HONEST AND FAIR, THERE ARE CERTAIN TRUTH TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND CLAIMING BUT MOST OF IT LACED WITH FLOWERY AND SOMETIMES EVEN POISONOUS. SELLING YOURSELF TO THE PEOPLE IS NOT AN EASY JOB. THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW HOW SINCERE YOU ARE AS PUBLIC SE...
