Enforcement of using helmet and seatbelt in Dumaguete

just guessing you are new to the islands... every years they push the helmet law.. but as you will see .. people stop their bikes and wait until the road blocks finish.. then they all go about their day.. if you see it stop and wait.. if you stop and put your helmet on and then drive up to the road block they will ticket you still.. it is all quite humorous and interesting to see... its an Asian thing.. make sure you have your license and registration handy if you do venture into the checkpoint..
