IN DEFENSE OF THE HELMET: Senator Bong Revilla explicitly explains the provisions under the Mandatory Helmet Bill, his legislative proposal that seeks to oblige all motorcycle riders, including back riders, to wear standard quality helmets, during the interpellation of Senator Richard Gordon (foreground, facing Revilla) last week. Many senators expressed support to Revilla’s bill as they recognize the need to address the increasing number of fatalities in accidents involving motorcycles.
