"In a television interview last week, Mayor Ipe Remollo said that starting tomorrow till Friday, August 15 - 19, sidewalks painted green will be off-limits to motorcycles, pedicabs, 4-wheeled vehicles and vendors. The green sidewalks will solely be for pedestrians to walk on. This will be an "information dissemination week" and no fines will be charged yet.
Starting next Monday, August 22, violators will be penalized.
Let's observe and see if tinuod ba gyud ni!"
Note: It may be easier to find Pokeman than find a green sidewalk in Dumaguete but you will not miss them you see them. When the paint wears off you can park on them.
To help identify "pedestrians" it is suggest you wear green shirts so you are not run over by the locals.
Siliman College is working with this program.

I get aroused just imagining being able to walk on the sidewalks without maneuvering around parked vehicles. All I can say is Wow.
On second thought, the dogs are going to think this is great as they can sh*t without fear of being run over so we need to watch our step.

We had the same signs along the road last year about prohibiting parking along the road but nothing came of it. All this fear of fines will too pass. Just wait until a few get tickets parking their motors in front of the cock fighting arena and this will be like the motorcycle helmet sticker and no-smoking etc....

Fyi, sidewalks were painted green with water-based fingerpaint. They will be green until the next rain and only repainted right before the next election cycle.
