PASAY CITY, Feb. 19 -- Decrying the continuous rise in criminal incidents perpetrated by riding-in-tandem criminals, most of which remain unsolved, Senator Richard J. Gordon on Thursday prodded anew the Land Transportation Office and the Department of Transportation for the full implementation of Republic Act 11235 or the Motorcycle Crime Prevention Act as he expressed fear that the unabated killings in the country is already making the people desensitized to the criminal act.
“Life has become cheap in this country. Paulit-ulit ang patayan, paulit-ulit nakikita ng tao at ang nangyayari ang kinakatakot ko, nasasanay na ang mga tao at parang nasagasaang aso lang ‘yung binaril, lalampasan na lang nila at sasabihin na lang nila ‘droga ‘yan.’ Sasabihin na lang nila, ‘magnanakaw ‘yan,’” he said during the continuation of the motu proprio investigation conducted by the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee on the continued delay in implementing the law.
