DILG Undersecretary Epimaco Densing III, in a live interview from Mugstoria on Thursday, cautioned public officials, who were planning to implement ordinances that would run contrary to the guidelines of the Inter-Agency Task Force for Management on Emerging Infectious Diseases . Densing added that lifting the ban of motorcycle backriding even among relatives would be a violation of the Bayanihan-to-Heal-as-One Act.
Garcia said the Capitol was confident that they would not be violating any existing laws when they crafted the EO seeking to lift the ban on motorcycle backrides. Garcia also said there was no IATF resolution explicitly prohibiting backrides on motorcycles, and that such directives were adopted through a memorandum circular from the Land Transportation Office .
