FULL-FACE HELMETS BANNED-- ZAMBOANGA CITY
(Mindanao Examiner / Apr. 25, 2012) – A remote village in Zamboanga City
which is trying to promote eco-tourism has banned motorcycle riders from
wearing a full-face helmet and warned violators will be shot.
A huge tarpaulin sign now hangs on the entrance of Lumayang, about 20 kilometers east of Zamboanga, and the new village law has attracted strong criticism from various sectors because of its extreme warning.
Frederick Atilano, the village chieftain, insisted the new law would make Lumayang and its 1,600 residents safe from hired killers, who usually use full face helmets, in their murderous trail in Zamboanga.
He said in February, motorcycle gunmen wearing full face helmets, killed a school principal, Wilson Recisio, 40, in Lumayang.
