A lawyer who was fined for being a back rider of motorcycle-hailing app Angkas has won his case at the Court of Appeals after it declared as unconstitutional the “riding-in-tandem” ordinance of the city of Mandaluyong. | T2TupasINQ
“Mandaluyong City Ordinance Nos. 550 S-2014, 595 S-2015, and 694 S-2018 are hereby declared unconstitutional. The City of Mandaluyong is prohibited from enforcing and implementing Mandaluyong City Ordinance Nos. 550 S-2014, 595 S-2015, and 694 S-2018,” said CA ruled.
At that same time, De Leon filed a petition that assailed the constitutionality of the ordinance, with a prayer that a restraining order be issued against its implementation. The appellate court likewise said the city government failed to provide evidence that it has tried other means to suppress crimes perpetrated by riding in tandem suspects.
“A more extensive review by this Court shows that the subject ordinances are unconstitutional because they also violate the Rule on Equal Protection,” the CA said.‘Return the penalties collected’
