Cainta Mayor Keith “Kit” Nieto said the local government will strictly monitor roads to ensure compliance with the LTO’s ban on electric tricycles (e-trikes), which took effect on Jan. 2.
He expressed full support for the national policy, emphasizing that following government directives promotes discipline and unity.
Nieto noted that failure to comply with national policies slows progress and deepens divisions in the country.
While some LGUs have requested exemptions due to road conditions, he said Cainta faces no such issues and urged patience with the policy’s implementation.
The mayor called for a one- to two-month trial period to assess the e-trike ban’s effectiveness before considering any adjustments.
