Jonathan Cellona, ABS-CBN News/File</div>MANILA — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Friday issued a reminder to the public against the use of rollerblades, skateboards, and similar recreational equipment on public roads, following a viral social media post showing individuals skating along a public road.Gabriel Go, head of the MMDA Special Operations Group – Strike Force, emphasized that such activities are unsafe and should only be done in controlled environments.&quot;Pag kayo ay nahagip o nasagi, ang mangyayari niyan, ang fault niyan magfo-fall dun sa taong may lisensya kasi sila &#x27;yung may responsibility kasi sila &#x27;yung license holder, when in fact mali po yung ginawa nung nagro-roller blades sa kalsada. It&#x27;s really a dangerous act na hindi dapat tularan,&quot; Go said.He clarified that since users of rollerblades or skateboards do not hold driver’s licenses, they cannot be issued traffic violation tickets. However, authorities can still stop them and warn them about their actions.&quot;Aside from MMDA, maaari ring manita ang kung sino man sa barangay or any enforcement agency such as ang ating kapulisan,&quot; he saidThe MMDA reminded the public that roads are meant for vehicles and pedestrians, not for recreational stunts or entertainment activities.&quot;Anything you do in public roads, we have to be more sensitive and pay more attention hindi lang sa ginagamit nating sasakayan but we have to be more considerate of other people using the road,&quot; he said.&quot;Ito po&#x27;y isang mahigpit na paalala na itong mga ginagawa natin sa kalsada, &#x27;yung mga tinatawag nating entertainment or mga stunts, dapat po mahigpit na ipagbawal po natin yan at mas maging considerate po tayo sa safety hindi lang ng sarili natin but also other road users,&quot; he added.
