00:00In the Philippines, where traffic and crossings on the road are part of our daily lives,

00:08one of the main problems is the road rage or the intense heat of the mind of a person

00:15who usually goes home in danger, not only for the drivers, but also for the passengers.

00:22But before we start our interview, Audrey, I want to know,

00:25do you really experience road rage?

00:28Are there people who fight with you?

00:30Sometimes, it's me.

00:31Sometimes, we're just humans.

00:33Sometimes, our minds get hot.

00:35Sometimes, I notice people on the road,

00:39they don't know that there's a car that's being squeezed.

00:43If you press that, it will light up where you're going.

00:47There.

00:48It doesn't use a signal light where you're going.

00:51You'll be surprised.

00:52Of course, our feelings are affected.

00:54So, we need to learn how to control it.

00:56It's caused by emotions.

00:57Even if you're right, but if you're fighting, you're wrong because of your emotions.

01:02But, RSP, to give us information on how to avoid this situation,

01:07let's listen to the Executive Director of the Partnership for Enhanced Road Safety,

01:12Atzornie Alex Sabaton.

01:13Good morning and welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines.

01:15Atzornie.

01:16Good morning, Audrey, PP, to Rise and Shine Philippines.

01:20Good morning to everyone.

01:21Alright.

01:22For our viewers, Atzornie,

01:26what are the main reasons for road rage cases in our country?

01:30Well, first, let's identify the road rage.

01:33This is an aggressive or violent behavior of our motorists.

01:39Aside from this, when we're stuck in traffic,

01:43it's heavy traffic, Audrey, PP,

01:45sometimes, we get frustrated.

01:48Yes.

01:49And then, eventually, especially here, when the traffic is heavy,

01:54there's a lot of noise.

01:55Like what you mentioned earlier,

01:57we have light signals.

01:59You'll be surprised.

02:00It's on the right, but it's on the left.

02:03So, basically, that's what makes your head heat up.

02:07And then, just think about it.

02:09Sometimes, you're just going to a small place,

02:13but the traffic is heavy.

02:16Well, basically, we get emotional stress because of the traffic.

02:21Okay.

02:22Also, we want to know what are the effective strategies.

02:24I think we should go there.

02:25Yes.

02:26Because road rage is evident every day.

02:28We're all good at driving.

02:30That's true.

02:31We're so much entitled with that.

02:33It's not a privilege to drive.

02:35But what we have to understand is the empathy.

02:39But what could be the strategies, Atzornie,

02:41to avoid road rage?

02:45Well, if you look at it,

02:46road rage incidents are more pronounced lately.

02:50And I think we have what we call short-term and long-term intervention.

02:55Okay.

02:56Short-term, maybe, is really for us to have a continuing awareness,

03:01a campaign on how we can really prevent this kind of incident,

03:05the road rage thing.

03:06But on a sustainable and long-term solution,

03:10that's what I'm looking at,

03:12is the integration of road safety in our curriculums,

03:16in elementary and high school.

03:18Because, basically, this is a part of...

03:22So, only kids should know about this?

03:24Only kids should learn about this.

03:26Because this is what other countries have done,

03:28their strategy,

03:30which is integrated with education.

03:33So, at a very young age,

03:35kids learn how to drive,

03:37how to read traffic signage.

03:41In fact, if you look at our youth back then,

03:45you can see stop, look, and listen.

03:48Now, you can hardly see them.

03:50So, I think we should still be calm at all times.

03:55Let's not get carried away by anger or heat.

04:00Because, at the end of the day,

04:02our countrymen's well-being is more important.

04:05So, if we get stuck on the road,

04:07or if something bad happens,

04:11let's not pay attention to it.

04:13Let us be calm and probably...

04:16We don't have pride in our activities.

04:18Yes, let's think that someone is waiting for us at home.

04:20And sometimes, that's right.

04:22Because, who are you?

04:24But, we have to keep our calm.

04:27Be cool, as they say.

04:29We will also reach our goal.

04:31Well, it's hard, Audrey,

04:33when we go to the hot springs.

04:37Because, if we can see,

04:39lately, there are gunshots.

04:42So, at the end of the day,

04:44let's still think that this is just traffic.

04:46I just need to join this.

04:49And then, if there are times

04:51when you get hit hard,

04:54let's just be calm.

04:56Well, you mentioned earlier,

04:57in terms of education,

04:59it's better to do it early.

05:01The youth are still in school.

05:03They are already learning the basics.

05:05Just like what profis do in other countries,

05:07first world countries.

05:09If you remember,

05:11when you went abroad,

05:12and you saw the system of traffic in other countries,

05:14when you go back to the Philippines,

05:15you will be disappointed.

05:16Yes, that's true.

05:17So, what can we adapt

05:19that is being done in other countries?

05:21Why are they disciplined?

05:22Their traffic concerns are better.

05:26It's better.

05:27What can we adapt in the Philippines?

05:29Well, I think,

05:30the expansion of our

05:32promotion of culture of discipline,

05:34traffic discipline,

05:35that's one.

05:36That sounds difficult.

05:37Discipline?

05:38Yes, it's true.

05:39There's nothing you can do about it.

05:40It's ideal.

05:41But actually,

05:42what we are looking at,

05:43because in the Philippines now,

05:44will we believe that

05:46we don't have a law against road rage?

05:48As we speak,

05:50what we have right now is,

05:51we have laws.

05:52For example,

05:53the 4136,

05:55Land Transportation Code of the Philippines,

05:56it says,

05:57improper person to drive,

05:59to operate a motor vehicle,

06:01reckless driving.

06:03But basically,

06:04if you say it's a special law,

06:05we don't have that.

06:06We don't have a road rage law.

06:08We don't have a road rage law.

06:09It's particular to the road rage law.

06:10It's particular.

06:11Even when this happened,

06:12if you remember,

06:13the news,

06:14about Iver,

06:16he was shot.

06:18So,

06:19there's still no law

06:21about road rage.

06:22There has to be a law.

06:23We know that,

06:24even before,

06:25there were high profiles,

06:26who said,

06:27up to now,

06:28we don't have a special law

06:30on the road rage.

06:31So,

06:32that means,

06:33the suspension of driver's license,

06:34these are purely administrative,

06:36in nature.

06:37And what I think,

06:38that will strengthen

06:40or fight on road rage,

06:42is that we have laws

06:44that can be passed.

06:45In fact,

06:46in fairness to the House,

06:48there are laws there,

06:50the road rage,

06:52that Audrey was saying,

06:53that if you commit a crime,

06:55you will be penalized

06:57for about 250,000,

07:00or an imprisonment

07:01of more than 6 years.

07:02Because now,

07:03if you see that,

07:04if there are road rage issues,

07:06what the LTO does,

07:08primarily suspension

07:10or revocation

07:11of driver's license.

07:13But insofar,

07:14as criminal aspect,

07:15we don't have a law for that.

07:17Unless,

07:18unless,

07:19if there's an injury,

07:21serious physical injury,

07:23grave threat,

07:24or reckless imprudence,

07:26resulting to physical injuries,

07:28but on a specific law itself,

07:30we don't have a law,

07:31as we speak right now.

07:32Oh my,

07:33I think that needs to be

07:34laid for legislation.

07:36Hopefully,

07:37we still need

07:38a continuing campaign

07:40or education on this issue.

07:42So,

07:43disciplining Filipinos is also a law.

07:45I hope the Congress sees this.

07:46Well, I think

07:47that's one of the long-term

07:49and sustainable interventions.

07:51Aside from the fact

07:52that we need really

07:53to integrate

07:54road safety education,

07:55because it's a part

07:56of the development

07:57of the culture

07:58of discipline

07:59in our youth.

08:00Sir,

08:01what are your programs

08:02for road rage prevention?

08:04Well,

08:05in our partnership

08:06with Enhanced Road Safety,

08:07we're continuing

08:08our engagements

08:09with the communities.

08:10We're having

08:11road safety awareness programs.

08:13In fact,

08:14we're also doing

08:15in some barangays,

08:17what we call

08:18road safety drills.

08:19There are opportunities

08:21where we're doing

08:22seminars.

08:23Of course,

08:24we're also giving

08:25free churros

08:26and free theoretical

08:27driving courses.

08:28This is the first time

08:29that a student can get

08:30a permit.

08:31We are topping

08:32other NGOs as well.

08:34So,

08:35basically,

08:36we're more on

08:37awareness campaigns

08:38and our engagements

08:39with the communities.

08:41But,

08:42Prof,

08:43what I've seen

08:44on social media,

08:45it's not just

08:46four-wheel drivers.

08:47It's usually

08:48those who fight

08:49on motorcycles.

08:50Yes.

08:51Right,

08:52Kamote?

08:53Well,

08:54that's why

08:55Kamote is very popular

08:56with us.

08:57And they say,

08:58I've seen it

08:59in the Philippines,

09:00you're on a motorcycle

09:01and you're in traffic.

09:02So,

09:03it's inevitable

09:04that our roads

09:05will get hot.

09:06We really need

09:07to learn

09:08how to control

09:09our emotions.

09:10Attorney,

09:11what's the message

09:12you'd like to

09:13convey to the public

09:14about road safety?

09:15Well,

09:16like we've mentioned,

09:17we always need

09:18to be careful

09:19in our driving

09:20and we need

09:21discipline

09:22in our roads.

09:23That's quite important.

09:24So,

09:25you and other

09:26government agencies

09:27need to

09:28address this

09:29problem

09:30and let us

09:31continue

09:32to engage

09:33the community

09:34on this issue.

09:35Alright.

09:36So,

09:37let's be patient

09:38especially when

09:39we're on the road.

09:40Thank you very much

09:41for sharing

09:42your information

09:43on how to

09:44avoid

09:45road rage.

09:46Attorney Alex Abaton,

09:47Executive Director

09:48of the Partnership

09:49for Enhanced Road Safety.

09:50Thank you again.
