This National Day of Remembrance highlights the pursuit of justice for road crash victims, survivors, and their families. The theme of this year's commemoration, which is justice, echoes the need for collective accountability on the road and the call for stringent implementation of road traffic laws to prevent unwanted deaths and injuries due to road crashes.
In the Philippines, road traffic deaths remain a silent pandemic where 30 people die every day due to unnecessary road crashes.
As the country observes the National Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, Survivors, and their Families, the Department of Transportation (DOTr), under the leadership of Secretary Jaime J. Bautista, remains firm in its commitment to strengthen road safety awareness and provide better and safer roads for all road users, especially the vulnerable ones. Road safety, being the top priority of the Department, will be continuously integrated in all programs and projects of the DOTr to ensure that no more lives are lost due to road safety negligence.
This observance, let's keep working together in the pursuit of justice for the victims of road crashes. Let's aim for a community where road crash incidents are not just lamented but prevented.
