2011-2020 UNITED NATIONS DECADE OF ACTION FOR ROAD SAFETY
https://www.facebook.com/roadsafetydecade
With this Global Road Safety Advocacy Movement:, we want to help save 5,000,000 lives from merciless Road Accidents all around the globe that only destroys dreams and devastates families in every imaginable way possible. Based on MMDA Statistics (Road Safety Department), there have been 2,242 Fatalities (2005 - 2011) in Metro Manila alone with the infamous EDSA & Commonwealth Killer Highways racking up 13%.
These 2,242 Fatalities in Metro Manila for the past 7 years could have saved breadwinners, daughters, & sons from a cruel & untimely death. With the severe lack of Road User Segregation, we face the horror of 1 DEATH PER DAY in the menacing streets of the behemoth city of Metro Manila.
With this Philippine Movement, we are stepping up to support the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 as declared by the United Nations, World Health Organization, Global Road Safety Partnership, and the International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies.
JOIN THE PHILIPPINE MOVEMENT NOW ! ! !

DEDICATED & IN MEMORIAM
Alfredo "Mang Padi" Padilla
> 70 year old Senior Citizen Construction Worker
> Friend, Fellow Biker and Comrade Advocate
June 18, 2010 - Crushed to Death by a 18 Wheeler Trailer Truck
along United Nations Avenue in Pandacan, Malate, Manila
Jojie Puricallan
> 43 year old Construction Worker, Father of 2
> Friend, Fellow Biker and Comrade Advocate
November 17, 2012 - Crushed to Death by a 10 Wheel Dump Truck
along San Mateo Avenue, Bgy. Paraiso, Ampid, Rizal
The sheer burden of Anti-Poor Living Conditions in highly urbanized Metro Manila have forced Daily Bicycle Commuters to risk life & limb just to struggle in saving money for basic needs of Food, Shelter, and Education for their families.
Some of our fellow cyclists who are mercilessly & meaninglessly killed even remain unclaimed for weeks from Funeral Homes & deprived of honorable burials due to painful financial strain that their families are subjected to. And for generations & years thereafter to come, the PAIN OF LOSING BREADWINNERS continues to haunt the Families of Road Victims & Survivors.
With blessings from their families, we started this campaign in their honor and to all the countless fatalities in Metro Manila who have lost their dreams in an instant.
IN OUR FIGHT FOR ROAD SAFETY, YOUR HELP WILL BE MOST VALUABLE.

=================================
I just signed the following petition addressed to our incumbent Philippine Senators who are part of the Bicycle Legislation that we are seeking help with & committing support for. On behalf of our fellow Road Safety Stakeholders & the Families of Road Victims & Survivors (FRVS), we would like to seek your continued help in terms of fast tracking 4 Senate Bills on Bicycle Legislation that would establish the legal basis of a healthy, vibrant, & developing Bicycle Culture in our country as anchored on concrete Bicycle Infrastructure such as integrated Bike Lanes, Bike Parking, Bike-to-Work Programs, Bike Incentives and Bike Traffic Management.
With this,we know that this will greatly benefit the vast sector of Daily Bike Commuters that belong mostly to the 2.8 Million Unemployed & the 8.5 Million Underemployed of our country's labor force & the least fortunate of our cycling brethren who have no choice but to pedal to their workplaces.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Before the may 2013 National Elections, we are seeking to cover ground with your office in terms of securing these important Senate Bills. Kindly help us prioritize & fast track the following Senate Bills :
