    They were careful to specify that the shields were between husband and wife or GF living in the same house (and that is what makes everyone question it so much). I don’t think habal habal backriding is even allowed because the passenger is not wife or GF. However, rules keep getting updated and I am not sure now if non-spouse/GF back riders are allowed (with shield).

    Whomever came up with this failed to understand the Bernoulli principle that the wind speed decreases the static pressure on the rider which in effect places the airborne virii or droplets breathed out by the driver right smack into the face of the rider. It is kind of basic science and somebody should be rather embarrassed, as if they themselves failed to attend high school science class.

    Once again the whole thing is being practices along farcical line. Go out of town to any area or route where there's no checkpoint and you'll see multiple pillion passengers without barriers. Yesterday, four up on one bike. People are just diverting around checkpoints or stopping and unloading pillion before the checkpoint, as I've seen.

    Which is another law not enforced.
    This thread is about motorcycle barriers not rules re trucks and cars thank you very much for your out of context reply.

    I am not sure what is meant by “clutch and away” but I must assume you successfully concluded the matter with authorities before speeding off. Nobody likes this law but IF you are a foreigner, please at least pretend to respect the host’s rules, otherwise you make all of us look bad. Natives themselves don’t like this law either but that is Filipino territory that foreigners don’t get to enter. If you are Filipino, more power to you.

    Starting tomorrow (August 19, 2020), motorcycle barriers will no longer be required for riders living in the same house in areas under general community quarantine (GCQ).

    This is provided that both riders have face masks on and full face helmets while riding. Motorcycles must be privately owned and not for hire.

    Riders must also be authorized persons outside of residence (APOR), according to a new mandate from the National Task Force on COVID-19.

    Riders who do not live in the same house must still use the approved motorcycle shields.

    Local chief executives in areas under MGCQ, such as Negros Oriental, have the discretion to adapt or implement the said guidelines, the NTF said. #NewsBite
