Safety

HELMET. Did you know that while in Cebu and some other places in the country motorcyclists and their passengers are required to wear crash helmets (or else:), Motorcycle riders in Ifugao face a stiff penalty if they wear helmets.

ORDINANCE. Yes, it's true. There is an ordinance in Ifugao that enforces the non-wearing of helmet while one is riding on a motorcycle. This ordinance was passed to check the rising incidence of crime committed by criminals riding-in-tandem on motorcycles.

HIDDEN. The author of the Ifugao ordinance says the faces of motorcycle-riding criminals are hidden if they are wearing helmets.
