Tamang Ride PH, a road safety advocacy by non-profit organization A Child’s Trust is Ours to Nurture (ACTION), recently conducted the pilot test of its Road Safety Modules at the Gen. Gregorio del Pilar Integrated School (GGPIS) in Bulakan, Bulacan. The learning session engaged 37 students, aged 11 to 15, in talks and activities regarding road safety.
The students were introduced to essential life skills, including traffic-sign identification, basic road rules, and safety practices for their daily commute. The session also highlighted laws that ensure child safety on the road, including Republic Act No. 11313 (the Bawal Bastos Law) and RA 11862 (the Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act).
ACTION founder and president Hajime Yokota kicked off the session with a welcome speech, encouraging students to practice road safety in their daily lives and emphasizing the importance of becoming responsible members of the community.
