The administrative order also includes the punishments and penalties to the violators.
For drivers and passengers not wearing the helmet, a fine of one thousand five hundred pesos (P 1, 500) with an accessory penalty of the driver or the rider attending a traffic management seminar to be conducted by the LTO shall be imposed.
