DEFENSIVE DRIVING SEMINARS TO PROMOTE ROAD SAFETY

The City Government of Olongapo continuously holds Defensive Driving Seminars for public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers thru the Office of Traffic Management and Public Safety (OTMPS).

“Mahalaga ang papel na ginagampanan ng mga PUV drivers sa araw-araw na transportasyon ng ating mga kababayan. Aking nauunawaan na hindi madali ang trabaho ng isang PUV driver. Umulan man o umaraw, hindi sila tumitigil na magserbisyo sa kanilang mga pasahero dahil batid nila ang kanilang social responsibility sa mga commuters, at dyan ako saludo,” said Mayor James “Bong” Gordon Jr. before attendees of the seminar held last week.

“Hindi katulad ng isang private vehicle driver, ang mga PUV drivers ay hindi hindi lamang kailangang maging alerto sa kalsada kundi pati na rin sa pagbababa at pagsasakay ng kanilang mga pasahero. Kaya nararapat lamang na alam ng ating mga drivers ang mga batas trapiko at mga gabay sa wastong pag-iingat sa daan para na rin sa kanilang kaligtasan at ng kanilang mga pasahero, ” Mayor Gordon added.

“Tuwing Lunes, Miyerkules at Biyernes ay tinitipon ng aming opisina ang mga drivers na hindi pa sumasailalin sa Defensive Driving Seminar upang masigurado na alam nila ang mga bagong batas pang-trapiko at pag-unawa sa mga road signs. Ang pagdalo sa sinasabing seminar ay kinakailangan upang makakuha at makapag-renew ng identification cards ang mga PUV drivers mula sa City Planning and Development Office,” Col. Aquino, head of OTMPS explained.

Meanwhile, the OTMPS has enhanced its capabilities to enforce traffic rules and regulations to promote road safety in the city 24/7. The first footbridge will soon be open to pedestrian along Olongapo City Elementary School (OCES).
