WITH the impeachment hearing of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona on a break until May, one of the lead prosecutors, Ilocos Norte (1st District) Representative Rodolfo C. Fariñas has done what could be almost impossible for a 60-year old man like him: learn how to ride a big bike with his family the Philippine National Police Highway Patrol Group way. | |||
On Monday, the long-time former Ilocos Norte governor and mayor, his daughter Ria Christina; sons Baba, Juni, Jr., Carlos, Baby Boy and Rudy and cousin, Laoag City Mayor Michael V. Fariñas began a grueling HPG Executive Motorcycle Riding Course that will make them better motorcycle riders, with safety as their main concern. | |||
PNP-HPG director, Chief Superintendent Leonardo A. Espina opened the special HPG motorcycle riding course for the Fariñas family when he visited officers and men of the Regional Highway Patrol Unit 1 headed by Senior Supt. Magno S. Biag to personally inspect their summer vacation preparations to ensure a safe and secure travel in Ilocos-Pangasinan region. | |||
Rep. Fariñas told the Journal Group that it has been his and his family’s long-time wish to become a certified HPG Rider, complete with a Rider’s Badge that will authorize each of them to wear the special badge. | |||
“This means much to me. This is also part of our dedication to enforce the law in Ilocos Norte and abide with all traffic rules and regulations in the province and elsewhere in the country,” said Fariñas as he led his kids and cousin in performing the standard HPG Riders’ exercises, dropping to the ground and banking left and right and performing the motorcycle crash. | |||
The routines are inculcated in the mind of the trainees in order to protect them from accidental falls or crashes that may maim or kill an ordinary motorcycle driver. All HPG Riders are trained to hold tightly on their motorcycle in case of a crash since the vehicle’s crash guards will protect them. | |||
“Ipit tangke. Walang bibitiw. Walang paa o kamay na tutukod,” course instructor, Supt. Bonifacio L. Bosita barked at his famous students. | |||
The lawmaker said he will use his new-found skills in launching a massive motorcycle safety program and road discipline project in the province and other parts of the country if possible. Not bad for a city where the Helmet Law is strictly implemented by the local police and Mayor Fariñas’ men. | |||
Elected as mayor of Laoag City at the young age of 28, Fariñas recounted that he launched a massive peace and order drive in the city under a program called DOC or ‘discipline and order campaign. | |||
“I saw to it that all traffic rules and regulations will be enforced in the city, particularly the helmet law and driving without license or under the influence of liquor,” he said. | |||
Fariñas even showed copies of old Land Transportation Office traffic citation tickets issued to his office when they were deputized by the agency to strictly enforce all traffic rules and regulations in their area. | |||
