In a statement, the DOH said, “Mr. Perez’s untimely death only serves to amplify the call to protect our frontliners, most especially our healthcare workers, during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
“We reiterate the call for local government units to roll out protected bicycle lanes as soon as possible,” the statement added. The DOH also called on LGUs to ensure that traffic violators are apprehended immediately.

With this, the Department reminded all road users “to be respectful and to share the road with other road users, particularly cyclists and pedestrians who are most vulnerable to accidents.”
