Description

This ordinance was enacted as a counter-measure against snatch thievery and other crimes by restricting motorcycle pillion riding, which is colloquially known as "riding in tandem" in the Philippines. Male back riders with certain exceptions is penalized by the city government. Exempted from this are 7 to 10 year-old children and adult females as backriders but specifically prohibits backriding for both males who are not first degree relatives. The Court of Appeals (CA) however has declared the Mandaluyong City riding-in-tandem ordinance unconstitutional, affirming this decision in May 2023.
