The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
These days, road safety is on everyone’s lips, or perhaps and for the better, consciousness. In the wake of a growing number of accidents on our roads lately, stricter measures must be put in place to safeguard pedestrians and motorists alike.
The country can’t easily forget the harrowing news of multiple deaths in NLEX, in Antipolo, Rizal, and especially that incident at the NAIA departure area, which claimed the lives of two persons, including a 4-year old girl. All these happened within just weeks of each other recently.
In light of these heartbreaking accidents, Paranaque City Councilor Jomari Yllana, Team Principal of Yllana Racing, believes it is time government and the public institutionalized road safety measures.
Yllana addressed road safety issues while gearing for the launch of Okada Motorsport Carnivale Jom’s Cup happening on May 31 at Okada Manila.
The actor-politician said road safety is a primary concern of his in mounting Okada Motorsport Carnivale.
Jom’s Cup is a 1/8 mile drag racing challenge to be competed in vintage car, muscle car, and super car categories at the seaside boardwalk of Okada Manila.
Okada Motorsport Carnivale 2025 kicked off on May 4 at the boardwalk and gardens of the sprawling hotel-casino complex in Paranaque City. The inaugural event, the third round of Super Sprint, a series of slalom races, roared with 127 driver-participants as witnessed by more than 700 spectators. In the evening, a large fleet of vintage cars, 365 in all, some dating back to the 1960s and beyond, took part in a grand car meet called the “Legends of the ’90s.”
An estimated crowd of more than a thousand gathered to witness the once in a lifetime show of beauty, force and power.
On his road safety advocacy, the veteran actor said, “It is going to be very, very safe. We take care of everyone who will join. We conduct briefings before the races. All the races are designed to be safe.”
Yllana said mounting Motorsport Carnivale is his way of giving back to the sport, which he has embraced since his teenaged years.
