In recent times, the peaceful community of Teresa Rizal has been disrupted by a surge in crimes predominantly involving motorcycle riders in tandem. As a member of this community, I've witnessed how these crimes have made our streets unsafe and endangered the lives of innocent individuals. It is disheartening to see our once tranquil town being overshadowed by fear and uncertainty.

To curb this escalating threat, we believe in the implementation of a unique yet effective strategy — a NO HELMET policy specifically within the town proper and on tertiary roads, accompanied by an enforced speed limit of 35 kph. This approach might seem unconventional, but it's tailored to our specific needs and circumstances. In other regions, similar policies have proven effective in deterring criminals who rely on anonymity provided by helmets and high-speed escapes after committing crimes.

According to a report by the Philippine National Police, crimes involving motorcycle riders in tandem have increased by 40% in the region over the past year. We cannot sit back and let these statistics define our community’s safety. By allowing our faces to be visible, not only do we foster a sense of accountability but we also make it harder for criminals to execute their plans without being recognized.

Furthermore, setting a speed limit within town zones will ensure that even without helmets, accidents are minimized, and our streets remain safe for all users. It empowers local law enforcement to monitor activities more closely and provides them with an effective tool to combat crime.

We are calling upon the local government of Teresa Rizal and responsible authorities to act swiftly and consider this policy change. By signing this petition, you lend your voice to a cause aimed at reclaiming our safety and restoring peace in our community. Stand with us today and support a safer Teresa Rizal.
