Habal-habal (2)
Habal- habal is a motorcycle modified to seat more than two persons. It is being used in provinces in the Philippines where jeepneys and tricycles don't go .Habal-habal can go through very remote areas in the mountains, through very rough terrains /dirt tracks. There's law that prohibits the use of motorcycle as commercial means of transportation, which then confronts the use of Habal-habals, however ,it was met with strong opposition by bulk of the population that benefit largely on the operaton of Habal-habal . People's need and demand of Habal-habals is far overwhelming that the local government units and law enforcements go blind eye of any operating habal-habal in sight . It's understandble why imposition of this law fails as large bulk of the population don't support the law, including those on authority who should be implementing the law.
IMHO this law fails for a reason - there's no alternative solution put in place to answer the transport problems of people living in very remote areas.
Here's another pic of a habal-habal from another flickr user which I think speaks volumes of how many people habal-habal can carry through :
