Provincial Administrator Raul Banias delivered the welcome message on behalf of Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr. during the Road Safety Summit on Nov. 28, 2024 at Sotogrande Hotel Iloilo.
Banias said the summit is a “call to action” for all agencies, local government units, and the public to unite in the fight against the alarming number of deaths and injuries caused by vehicular accidents.
“I speak from experience. As a former Mayor, I witnessed firsthand the impact of decisive measures. We implemented strict speed limits, facilitated road safety and driver education for hundreds of unlicensed drivers, and as a result, we saw a significant drop in road accidents. We can do this again,” he said.
“It’s time for us to make a collective decision, for the sake of our fellow Ilonggos and the generations to come. Let us commit to a comprehensive strategy that prioritizes road safety. Let’s work together—government agencies, local communities, and every citizen—to create a safer environment for all,” the provincial administrator added.
