CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Misamis Oriental, Oct. 12 (PIA) -- To lessen incidents of motorcycle-related accidents, the Philippine National Police (PNP) in Northern Mindanao will strictly implement the Motorcycle Helmet Act of 2009, which penalizes motorcycle riders that fail to wear standard protective motorcycle helmet.
The PNP, in close coordination with the Land Transportation Office (LTO) will strictly implement it starting November 1.
The Helmet Act of 2009 is a pro-life law. It is designed to protect the life of the motorcycle drivers as well as back riders.
Statistics have shown that that most fatalities from motorcycle accidents were attributed to nonuse of the headgear.
As stipulated, any person caught not wearing the standard protective motorcycle helmet while driving or riding a motorcycle whether short or long distance shall be punished with a fine of P1,500 for the first offense, P3,000 for the second offense, P5,000 for the third offense and P10,000 and confiscation of the driver’s license for the fourth and succeeding offenses.
PCSupt. Jufel C. Adriatico, the newly installed Regional Director of PNP, region 10, has ordered the dishing out of a directive emphasizing that PNP personnel should serve as the model in abiding traffic rules and regulations.
This is in response to an article written by certain Mr. Contreras that some PNP personnel are not wearing helmet and are also violating the “No plate, No travel Policy” as well as beating the red light.
PNP personnel who will be caught violating the “No helmet, No Travel Policy” and the “No Plate, No Travel Policy” and other traffic rules and regulations will not just be penalized through fine but will also face administrative charges for their failure to follow a lawful order which, if found guilty, is tantamount to suspension, Adriatico said.
“Beating the red light” can only be justified if the PNP personnel is conducting a “hot pursuit operation”, Adriatico added. (PNP/PIA-10)
Lanao Norte PhilHealth members receive MDR
TUBOD, Lanao del Norte, Oct. 12 -- To enable residents enrolled in the Provincial Health Indigency Program (PHIP) faster processing of their hospitalization claims, employees of the Project Management Office (PMO) is starting to distribute copies of PhilHealth’s Member Data Record (MDR) in this province.
More than 94,000 indigent PhilHealth members of this fast-rising province are set to receive their MDR before the end of November, 2011.
“This is an initiative of Governor Khalid Dimaporo to make it easier for our indigent residents to gain access to quality healthcare services,” PMO Head Lyndon Calica said.
Lanao del Norte is the first LGU to implement MDR distribution for its sponsored residents.
Among the first towns to receive the MDRs are Linamon, Bacolod, Matungao, Kauswagan and Maigo. The remaining 17 municipalities are scheduled to be visited by the PMO team in October and November.
The MDR initiative is in support of PhilHealth President Lorna Fajardo’s appeal to help strengthen data verification at the hospital level by ascertaining the identity and eligibility of legal dependents availing the healthcare benefits of members.
PhilHealth Circular 07, series of 2007 (as amended), applies to claims with admission dates starting September 1 this year.
The MDR is a document that lists the primary information on a PhilHealth member. It also contains the names of the member’s qualified legal dependents and is used for reference purposes.
If a member is not able to present an updated MDR, secondary supporting documents such as birth certificate, marriage contract and other documents may be accepted.
To claim the MDR, each PHIP member should present his PhilHealth card and undergo a brief orientation by the PMO team. Also accompanying the PMO team are staff from the Provincial Community Affairs Office (PCAO) and the local Provincial Volunteer Health Workers (PVHW).
“The MDRs are valid until December 2011. A member should renew his MDR every year to continue enjoying the benefits of the Provincial Health Indigency Program,” said PHIP Coordinator Felson Gazelle Francisco. (VNL & LAR/PIO-LDN/PIA-10)
