Senator Richard J. Gordon, chairman of the Senate Blue Ribbon and justice committees, said this grisly tally make our countrymen despairing whether there would ever be a solution.
‘’It is time that we take action to stop these killings because we cannot be mere spectators and become desensitized to them,’’ Gordon.
‘’Hence, there is a very urgent need to fully implement Republic Act 11235, or the Motorcycle Crime Prevention Act, because riding-in-tandem killers have become so fearless that there had been 93 shootings recorded by our office from January 1 to March 14, with only two of their victims getting away unhurt.

GORDON CALLS OUT LTO AND DOTR OFFICIALS ANEW, TO FILE GRAFT AND PLUNDER CHARGES
Senator Richard Gordon berated former and current officials of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and the Department of Transportation (DOTR) who entered into anomalous deals with private companies that caused the delay in the production and distribution of vehicle license plates. Yung kanilang pagpapahirap sa mga tao, whoever causes damage to third parties and other agencies, ay anti-graft yon. Ngayon, dahil ang laki-laki ng pera, baka umabot sila doon sa tinatawag na plunder. Yon ang sinisilip natin ngayon, warned Gordon, Chairman of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee.

TRANSCRIPT OF SEN. GRACE POE s SPONSORSHIP SPEECH
I put forward the report of the committee on public services which on Feb. 09, 2021, conducted a hearing on the operation of Private Motor Vehicles Inspection Centers or PMVICs.
Back in 2018, the DOTr decreed that the physical inspection of vehicles, which was previously conducted by the Land Transportation Office, along with an additional battery of tests, 73 in total, shall now be conducted by Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers which it will accredit outside the usual modes of procurement.
As mentioned in the report, the main objective of the committee hearing was to shed light on the issues currently hounding the operation of PMVICs. Nang matapos ang hearing, naging mas malinaw na hindi lamang pala iilan ang problemang kinakaharap dito. Kaya ang naging resoluyon ng komite ang polisiya mismo ang may problema.
