Gen. Guillermo Lorenzo T. Eleazar, chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP), warned on Monday, May 24, all policemen to refrain from riding motorcycles without using helmet, saying law enforcers are not above the law.
Eleazar issued the warning amid repeated complaints and social media posts about policemen caught in photos and videos driving motorcycles without safety gears, particularly helmet.
In some cases, the photos are converted to memes to insult, ridicule the PNP, and insinuate that policemen are above the law.
“Mawawalan ng kredibilidad ang mga alagad ng batas kung sila mismo ay hindi sumusunod sa batas. (We will lose our credibility as law enforcers if are the ones violating the law) Let this be a warning to all our personnel for them to observe the Motorcycle Helmet Law, dahil kung hindi, ako mismo ang didisiplina sa inyo (otherwise, I will personally discipline you),” said Eleazar.
