In support of road safety, the motorcycle ride-hailing firm Move It has donated 100 helmets to the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) intended for participants in the MMDA Motorcycle Riding Academy (MRA).
MMDA officials—including Chairman Don Artes, General Manager Undersecretary Procopio Lipana, and Deputy Chairman Undersecretary Frisco San Juan, Jr.—accepted the donation in a simple turnover ceremony on Monday.
San Juan highlighted the importance of enforcing discipline on the road, which he described as a crucial aspect of the partnership between MMDA and Move It.
Move It’s Head of Strategy, Cesar Roxas, and Chief Operating Officer, RJ Cabaluna, expressed hopes that this donation will encourage more people to enroll in the free responsible motorcycle riding education program offered by the MMDA.
Roxas emphasized the MRA’s significant role in promoting safe roads. The academy continues to accept walk-in and online applicants. Prospective students must present a government-issued ID and a helmet.
Located at the corner of J. Vargas Avenue and Meralco Avenue in Pasig City, the MMDA established the academy to provide basic knowledge on motorcycle handling and operation, with a strong focus on safe riding. The MRA operates from Monday to Saturday.
