Road safety is the subject of discussion just last Saturday, May 31 during the weekly program Kapehan Sa Aklan sponsored by the tri-media of Aklan. Kapehan is a two hour discussion from 7–9 AM held in Kusina Sa Kalibo Restaurant every Saturday.
May was dubbed “Road Safety Month”. The celebration was led by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). The Engineering District in Aklan under District Engr. Roberto Cabigas spearheaded Road Safety Month celebration of Aklan.
With Engr. Cabigas, other resource persons in the Kapehan were Mr. Valtimore Conanan–head, Land Transportation Office, Aklan; SPO1 Armenio–head Traffic Section of the Kalibo PNP, and president More Morier–Rotary Club of Kalibo.
The elements of road safety are the pedestrians, the passengers in the vehicle, the drivers of the vehicles, the road condition and the worthiness of the vehicles.
Mr. Boy Conanan of LTO discussed the process of securing driver’s license and its renewal, like the written and actual driving tests, drug test, and health examination. He also explained the process of vehicle registration and its renewal, the training program LTO provides for would be and erring drivers.
SPO1 Armenio informed the Kapehan of how the Kalibo PNP, through the Traffic Section, implements the traffic laws, rules and regulations. He discussed the proper uses of sidewalks, pedestrian lanes, speed limits and proper parking.
DPWH District Engr. Cabigas claimed Aklan has the best highway in Western Visayas. This claim was seconded by Atty. Allen S. Quimpo. He cited the highway from Altavas extending up to Caticlan, Malay. Mrs. Stella Lao of the DPWH Aklan compared the Aklan national road to an airport runway.
However, well paved, the Aklan national highway lacks proper signages. Engr. Cabigas assured, signages will be installed where necessary soonest.
Mr. More Morier, president, Rotary Club of Kalibo cited the modest contribution his club provides to road safety such as conducting seminars to vehicle drivers and road clean-up.
On the question of wearing of helmet of motorcycle riders, Conanan explained that “all riders must wear helmet both driver and back riders. And they must wear the prescribed helmet. /MP
