Why this petition matters

Started by Mel V

On the MOTORBIKES NO BACK RIDING POLICY: If we live in the same house you will not permit this? Yet you allowed public vehicles with certain regulations? Aren't you increasing our risk by exposing us to other people (vice versa) we don't live with?

At least secure us. Please consider exempting some people and just provide certificates signifying the driver and the passenger are either married couples/partners/immediate family member living in the same roof. We're trying so hard to secure ourselves and get little exposure as much as we can. Please help us secure ourselves.

If you we're on our shoes, you live with your wife and you only have one motorcycle. Your wife travels 12 km to work everyday, and she needs to take 2 shuttles so she can go to work. The capacity of the shuttle is modified now to just 10 passengers, 11th the driver. You are now risking that wife's life by exposing her to 10 people per shuttle! Multiply that by 4 as the wife needs to go home and will most likely take the same route. That's 40 people she has to be exposed with everyday just to get to work and come home. Are you helping the wife, or are you increasing her the risk of the virus which in turn she can transmit to her partner, her kids, the people in her community, the other passengers?

Would you rather have us walk to and from work? Paano kung ganyan nga 12 kms distance and work starts super early? Paglalakarin nalang as an alternative? Mas exposed.

Hindi po kami kagaya ninyo na may 4 wheels. Hindi po lahat ng working class may 4 wheels. Isa po kami sa unang sasabak para matulungang paikutin muli ang ekonomiya. Hindi lang po kayo ang nagsasakripisyo, kami din. Kaming walang ayudang natanggap, kaming kinukwestyon bakit bibigyan ng ayuda. Kaming paniguradong isa sa mga magbabayad ng karagdagang buwis sa kung anumang goods o services ang pinagpaplanuhang malagyan ng tax.

WAG NYO PO SANA KAMING KALIMUTAN. HELP US. Please come up with rules that is FAIR to ALL OF US. SANA PAGISIPAN NYO PA ITO, PAKIUSAP.
