Matabalao said on Wednesday, March 20, that he reconsidered his position after realizing that only a few minors were involved in street racing in the city, while many others would miss out on family time at night in the predominantly Muslim city.

Muslim families have a variety of fairs and exhibits to choose from forAt the same time, Matabalao issued Executive Order 114, which strictly prohibits minors from driving motorcycles at any time and anywhere in the city. EO 114 also bans drag racing within Cotabato City.

He explained that he issued the Tuesday order because he was angered by an incident involving a 12-year-old child. The child ended up in the hospital with fractured limbs and arms after being hit by a participant in a motorcycle race, who is also a minor. Reportedly, both minors had sneaked out of their respective homes.
