00:00Now that the number of accidents involving motorcycles is increasing,
00:04there are people who are providing intensive training for the riders.
00:08The problem of some riders is that it's heavy in their pockets.
00:11Watch this, this is Joseph Moro.
00:18This motorcycle rider got lost on the side of Quezon Avenue in Quezon City
00:22after crashing into a taxi earlier this morning.
00:25He was rushed to the hospital after being hit by an injury.
00:29When he hit me, I said, why did I get hit? I was on the right lane.
00:36Another rider in Cagayan de Oro City was even more shocked
00:39because he was at home when he got hit by a truck.
00:43A police officer was also killed and he was taken to the hospital after being hit by a minidump truck
00:48that their motorcycle was riding on Toledo, Cebu last week.
00:52These are just a few of the motorcycle accidents
00:56in the first half of 2024,
00:58the average number of motorcycle accidents in Metro Manila is over 2,000,
01:04which is equivalent to 57 accidents per day.
01:08In 2023, the majority of those who died because of a car
01:12had a motorcycle involved.
01:14Of course, as the population of motorcycle grows,
01:18naturally, the accident rate is included.
01:23There are already 7 million motorcycles registered in the country
01:28based on the latest data from the Land Transportation Office.
01:31But this is still a small number compared to other countries in Southeast Asia like Vietnam
01:36where in 2020, there are already more than 72 million registered motorcycles.
01:42There are more motorcycles, there are also more accidents.
01:45That's why you can see the solution of the motorcycle sector, training.
01:50But the problem is, it's heavy in the pockets of the majority.
01:53It's really heavy.
01:54How much did you pay for it?
01:56It's around 2,000 pesos.
01:58It's just over 4,000 pesos.
02:02It's just right.
02:03It's just right, it's okay?
02:04Yes, it's just right.
02:06Until now, how many legitimate driving schools are there in the Philippines?
02:12In motorcycles?
02:14You can enroll for free on the MMDA website.
02:18And because there is also a proposed law
02:20to make motorcycles for hire app a legal public utility vehicle,
02:24proper training is important.
02:27Meanwhile, those in the motorcycle sector asked for a consultation
02:30with the Transportation Department
02:32so that they can use the bike lane when EDSA rehabilitation starts.
