According to Mr. Vince R. Bartolome, one of the representatives from PGT, the kits are given through the initiative of Governor Yap and the Peace and Order Council of Tarlac which intends to provide further protection to imminent dangers these operators and drivers might encounter in the course of their operation.

The kits include a pair of arm sleeves, a towel and a shirt given to TODA Presidents which will then be distributed to their respective members.

Engr. Ramirez also facilitated and helped in the distribution while he also emphasized the renewal of Mayor’s Permit for TODAs is extended until the 15th of February to give the municipality’s tricycle operators chance to process their renewal.

“Nu adda malasakit mu iti bagbagim, adda met lang dapat malasakit mo iti kakadwam,” expressed by Vice Mayor Duque in his message before the distribution. “Nu protektaram ta bagim, protektaram met iti kakadwam,” he further added.

Meanwhile, Mr. Jake Francis G. Velasco, Chairman of the Market TODA expressed his thanks by saying, “Agyaman kami kadaytoy protective kit nga inted na ni Governor kanyami nga drivers iti tricycle. Dakkel nga tulong dagitoy iti panagsarak mi ti maidasar mi inaldaw.”
