Talk:Bayani Fernando

Untitled
This article is not about Bayani Fernando but rather a particular issue he faced. Remember this guy is either you love him or you hate him. I don't care what you think about him, but please make this article a real article. As it is, I question its neutrality. Perhaps someone should delete this article and start one from scratch without any bias for or against the issues surrounding him.

In particular, an article about BF that talks more about his motorcycle campaign and less about his successes in Marikina is clearly biased and only intends to blow up the issues thrown against him.

In particular, the following paragraphs violates the policy on biographies of living persons stated at the top of this page, although it is written in a style that pretends to be neutral:

"Fernando incurred the ire of members of the Motorcycle Philippines Federation and motorcycle owners all over the Philippines after insisting on the implementation of MMDA Resolution 07-07. The “Dual Motorcycle and Helmet License Plate Numbers Policy,” contained in the resolution, would require all motorcycle riders to permanently affix waterproof stickers on both sides of their helmets bearing their motorcycle's plate numbers. The stickers should be large enough to be seen by the public at a distance of 25 meters.

"He felt that by doing this, crime can be prevented since most criminals are using motorcycles, and by having plate number stickers on helmets, identification would be easy. The proposed sticker should be seen 25 meters away. This has caused an alarm among the motoring public, because doing this, it would affect the helmet as stated in every helmet owner's manual, and it would also void the warranty. Helmets do not come cheap, a standard DOT certified helmet costs P2,000.00 up to P15,000.00. Even the Philippine National Police disapproves of this, it would only cause further confusion to the public, and as one PNP official stated, most criminals don't wear helmets as this would affect their visibility while escaping the scene of the crime and also while under pursuit from the police.

"He announced later that automobiles are the next target, he is considering of having plate numbers etched on the side panels of four-wheel vehicles, this undertaking, he thinks, would help prevent crime. This ordinance is still being studied by the Metro Manila Council and time would only tell if this will be implemented.

"Motorcycle riders organized an online petition Against Dangerous MMDA Helmet Rules. On July 20, a massive protest rally was held by an estimated 5000 motorcycle riders at the MMDA offices in Makati City to protest against the MMDA policy.

"The Motorcycle Philippines Federation and other respective clubs planned to stage another rally in front of the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) office against the plate number sticker ordinance which would have been implemented at the end of July 2007, as reported by GMA News ('Motorcycle groups rally vs helmet policy')"

Bayani the arsehole
Mere words cannot describe how much I loathe this SOB. Why hasn't he committed suicide yet? He makes life difficult for both pedestrians and motorists and people still let him stay in office? He is the perfect reason for the return of capital punishment and should be placed in history books as a stern warning that arseholes may infiltrate the government offices. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.201.198.137 (talk) 01:58, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
