MANGALDAN Mayor Bona Fe de Vera Parayno called on all residents to help the local government reduce the increasing number of road accidents, specifically those related to illegal motorcycle racing.

The mayor’s appeal was raised after the 1st Quarter Municipal Peace and Order Council-Municipal Anti-Drug Abuse Council report showing that vehicular traffic incidents in Mangaldan tripled in early 2025 compared to the previous year.

At the flag raising ceremony on March 24, she emphasized the responsibility of barangay councils to convene meetings and propose initiatives aimed at decreasing road accidents in their respective communities.

The mayor ordered barangay officials in barangays Bantayan, Salay, and Malabago, where a high number of road accidents were reported, to  closely monitor clandestine motorcycle racing activities.

To promote motorist safety, Parayno suggested organizing seminars on traffic laws and the dangers of driving under the influence in coordination with the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office. (Ahikam Pasion)
