motorcycle taxi service, during the #MakeMarilaqueSafeAgain event that
gathered together government authorities as well a private stakeholders in
the wake of the tragic incident at Marilaque Road.
The accident, which involved a dangerous stunt, has led to public outrage
and demands for stricter enforcement against illegal racing and reckless
driving behavior on Marilaque and other roads nationwide.

Mayor Rex Tanjuatco and Senator JV Ejercito, committed to increasing
enforcement measures to prevent a similar tragedy.
