MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Actor-turned-Senator Bong Revilla is taking his vice chairmanship of the Senate Committee on Public Services very seriously. Now, he is focused on solving the country’s mass transportation problems and unending traffic woes.
In a move that left his colleagues scratching their heads (because they didn’t think of this first), Revilla urged vehicle manufacturers to come up with 5-seater motorcycles, saying that increasing the passenger capacity of Angkas and other motor ride hailing services would make a significant impact on traffic and mass transportation.
Revilla unveiled a 5-seater motorcycle model which he said he saw on one of his travels to some Southeast Asian countries.
The senator further proposed to grant full tax exemptions for vehicle manufacturers that will venture into the 5-seater motorbikes.
