In the plenary session of the Upper House, Sen. Richard Gordon denounced the killing Monday by motorcycle-riding assailants in Makati city of Police Major Jeffrey Daison who was assigned to the office of Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Archie Gamboa.

Gordon said that of the 17 million motorcycles in the Philippines, only half are registered.

Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri blamed the PNP for not posting policemen on each block, similar to what then-PNP Chief and now Senator Ronald dela Rosa did. In reaction, opposition senator Francis Pangilinan said there are many laws in the country, particularly on the use of motorcycle plates, but their implementation is a problem.From Jan. 1 to March 4 this year, Gordon said his staff recorded the motorcycle riding-in-tandem casualty rate is 38 civilians, 12 government employees, five police personnel, four judges and prosecutors, and six businessmen.
