Because we are all delivered in this world by our mothers unconditionally, let’s honor them this Mother’s Day. How about giving a bouquet of flower or a simple card, ordering a colorful cake, or having dinner with the whole family? These are simple celebrations, yet they are meaningful to our moms who have cared so much for us.
Now, if you plan to take a long drive this week, be careful since the weather will be a little wet and roads might get slippery. When driving a motorcycle vehicle in Bacolod, make sure to follow the riding-in-tandem ordinance that will take effect immediately. Meanwhile, the police authority will take measures to ensure safe and successful local and national elections on May 13. For entertainment, Magikland Theme Park in Silay City will be opening once the facilities will be fully operational.
Weather Advisory: Partly to mostly cloudy skies with few rains
This week’s wet weather will most likely make you decide to stay indoors. Expect rain showers and thunderstorms mostly in the mornings. But since this week’s temperature will range from 33°C to 35°C, warm and humid air will remain to be sensed. If you can’t get enough of summer escapades yet despite the rain, head to resorts with indoor pools [1].
Traffic News: ‘Riding-in-tandem’ ordinance now implemented
With the alarming shooting incidents involving riding-in-tandem suspects in Bacolod City recently, the Bacolod Traffic Authority Office (BTAO) was urged to strictly enforce the riding-in-tandem ordinance. Under this ordinance, it will be unlawful for any driver to have a back rider on a motorcycle vehicle starting from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the next day, every day [2].
Councilor Ramos, chairperson of the city council, said that BTAO has already arrested 28 violators since last week. Violators were also fined 300. There were also illegal firearms or weapons recovered from some of the motorcycle drivers.
