Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South), a subsidiary of the Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), kick off its flagship program ‘Drayberks’ to commemorate this year’s Road Safety Month.
In partnership with Cavite State University (CvSU), MPT South has elevated the award-winning road safety program by introducing Drayberks’ B.I.S.A (Buhay Ingatan, Sasakya’y Alagaan) Caravan. This practical one-day seminar on vehicle maintenance and troubleshooting is offered to motorists for free, with the aim of empowering drivers by equipping them with the necessary knowledge and skills to confidently and securely navigate the roads.
The toll road company initiated the first run of the Drayberks B.I.S.A caravan at the Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX). The event was attended by bus drivers, traffic enforcers, and members of the transport group ACTO, including its president, Ms. Liberty de Luna. The seminar focused on emphasizing the crucial role of thorough vehicle preparation before embarking on a journey. It highlighted the importance of adequately equipping and maintaining the vehicle to ensure a safe and hassle-free travel experience.
Automotive technology experts and instructors from CvSU provided detailed guidance to attendees, following the handy mnemonic BLOWBAGETS vehicle maintenance checklist: battery, lights, oil, water, brakes, air, gas, engine, tires, and self.
MPT South added an exciting element to the B.I.S.A caravan with the introduction of the #EGGStraSafe experiment. This innovative initiative, part of the toll road company’s digital awareness campaign for Road Safety Month, powerfully emphasizes the delicate nature of life behind the wheel by drawing a thought-provoking parallel with the fragility of an egg. This addition brings an engaging and memorable aspect to the campaign, effectively driving home the importance of road safety.
“Road safety encompasses safe driving practices and the presence of safe roads, but its foundation lies in proper vehicle preparation. MPT South’s Road Safety Month programs this year are dedicated to addressing vehicle mechanical issues that may lead to road failures. While we prioritize equipping our roads with safety features and ensuring compliance with safe road standards, we strongly emphasize the need for motorists to always stay prepared,” said Ms. Arlette Capistrano, Vice President for Communication and Stakeholder Management, MPT South.
The toll road company also invites motorists to participate in the upcoming rollout of the Drayberks B.I.S.A caravan at SM City Bacoor, 4F Cinema area, on May 19, 2023 (Friday); and at SM City Santa Rosa Atrium 1 on May 27, 2023 (Saturday).
MPT South is the concessionaire for the Manila Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX), the CAVITEX C5 Link, and the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX). The ‘Drayberks’ road safety advocacy of MPT South falls under the pillar of MPTC’s initiative ‘Mission: Road Safety,’ which focuses on conducting road safety awareness seminars and digital information campaigns to educate the general and motoring public, ensuring their safe journey along MPTC expressways in Luzon and Visayas—CAVITEX, C5 Link, CALAX, NLEX (North Luzon Expressway), NLEX Connector Road, SCTEX (Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway), and CCLEX (Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway) in Cebu.
These initiatives align with the United Nations General Assembly’s adopted resolution, ‘Improving Global Road Safety,’ which sets a bold target of reducing road traffic deaths and injuries by at least 50% before 2030.
MPT South Launches Drayberks B.I.S.A. Caravan for Road Safety Month
Muling inilunsad ng Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South), isang subsidiary ng Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), ang flagship program nito na ‘Drayberks’ para sa pagdiriwang ng Road Safety Month ngayong taon.
Sa pakikipagtulungan ng toll road company sa Cavite State University (CvSU), ni-level up ng MPT South ang award winning program nito at ipinakilala ang Drayberks B.I.S.A (Buhay Ingatan, Sasakya’y Alagaan) caravan. Isa itong one-day seminar patungkol sa vehicle maintenance at troubleshooting na libreng isinasagawa para sa mga motorista. Layun nitong mabigyan ng karagdagang kaalaman ang mga motorista upang maging handa at palaging maging ligtas sa daan.
Unang umikot ang Drayberks B.I.S.A Caravan sa Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) at dinaluhan ito ng mga bus drivers, traffic enforcers, at ilang miyembro ng grupong ACTO kabilang ang presidente nito na si Liberty de Luna. Sumentro ang seminar sa pagtuturo ng kahalagahan ng tamang pag-alaga at pag-suri sa mga sasakyan.
Inisa-isa rin ng mga automotive technology experts at instructors mula sa CvSU ang vehicle maintenance checklist na BLOWBAGETS, o battery, lights, oil, water, brakes, air, gas, engine, tires, at self.
Bukod pa riyan, ipinasubok din sa mga dumalo ang #EGGStraSafe experiment, na unang inilabas ng toll road company sa social media accounts nito para sa Road Safety Month, kung saan inihahalintulad nito ang buhay ng isang motorista sa isang itlog at ipinakita na ito rin ay fragile o madaling mabasag.
“Saklaw ng road safety ang safe driving practices at pagkakaroon ng ligtas na daan ngunit ito ay dapat sinisimulan sa maayos na pag-aalaga ng sasakyan. Ngayong taon, nakatuon ang mga Road Safety Month programs ng MPT South sa mga mechanical issues ng mga sasakyan na maaaring maging sanhi ng aksidente sa daan. Habang sinisiguro namin ang safety features at sumusunod sa safe road standards ang aming mga kaldasa, mariin din naming ipinapahayag ang kalahagahan ng pagiging handa ng mga motorista,” ani Ms. Arlette Capistrano, Vice President for Communication and Stakeholder Management ng MPT South.
Iniimbitahan din ng toll road company ang mga motorista na lumahok sa mga susunod na rollout ng Drayberks B.I.S.A caravan na gaganapin sa SM City Bacoor, 4F Cinema area, sa Mayo 19, 2023 (Biyernes); at sa SM City Santa Rosa, Atrium 1, sa Mayo 27, 2023 (Sabado).
