If I recall correctly, Senate President Manny Villar introduced a bill for the purpose when
he was still chairman of the Senate finance committee. Under his bill, Villar proposed
that persons found guilty for the first time of drunk driving must face a suspension of
their drivers license for one year and be made to pay a fine of P1,000. On the second
offense, a fine of P5,000 and a five-year suspension of the drivers license will be
imposed. I dont recall the bill having gone past the committee level though.
In Makati, Jejomar Binay wants to be stricter not only against drunk driving but also
"drugged driving." Last year the Makati City Council passed an ordinance imposing a
fine of P2,500 or imprisonmentor bothon persons who drive their vehicles while
under the influence of drugs or liquor.
The city government acquired testing kits to be used in checking the blood-alcohol level
of intoxicated or drugged drivers. Suspected drivers can also be taken to the Ospital ng
Makati, which now conducts testing on a 24-hour basis. So Makati traffic officers dont
need to rely only on physical manifestations of being intoxicated or drugged, which
might not be able to hold up in court when cases are filed against those caught redhanded. Just like in the US, the testing is mandatory if you are caught violating traffic or
driving errantly.
In Makati, drivers who register a .13-percent blood alcohol level are considered unfit to
drive and will be charged according to the drunk-driving ordinance. Interestingly, Gibson
would not have been legally drunk in Makati. (Maybe, Filipinos really have a high
tolerance for alcohol, otherwise how do you explain the more lenient standards for blood
alcohol tests?)
RA 4136
(f) Driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor or narcotic drug, a
fine of not less than two hundred pesos nor more than five hundred pesos, or
imprisonment of not more than three months, or both, at the discretion of the
Court.

Statistics show that 30 percent of young people below the age of 18 are already driving
motorcycles although the law provides that only Filipinos 18 years old and above can be
issued a valid driver's license.

Hi ID, Mel
you may also want to pattern your speech on this one. it is very simplistic - it enumerates
the points which i sought to establish, and then goes on to explain each point. This is how
speeches should be made, right mel? hehe.
NOte: This was my speech vs. UP

Subject: debate points
Hi Abby,
The debate format I am familiar with is the Modified Oxford-Oregon Style. This involves
four speakers on each side.
First Speaker - Necessity
Second - Beneficiality
Third - Practicability
Fourth - Rebuttals
Each speaker must necessarily establish why it is necessary (for the first speaker),
beneficial (for the second speaker) and so on. There is a very thin line between Necessity
and Beneficiality. The affirmative necessity speaker may point out the inherent flaws in
the current situation (status quo), while the affirmative beneficiality speaker may of
course point out certain advantages derived from adoption of the proposition. The
negative necessity and beneficiality speakers will just have to do the opposite.
Regarding practicabily, you have to focus on at least two things - legal and financial
feasibilty. Does the constitution allow the proposition? Are there laws prohibiting the
proposition? Is there financial capability to ensure effective execution of the proposition?
These are just some of the points you have to be clear on in PRACTICABILITY. Note
that Practicability is not PRACTICALITY. Practicability talks about feasibility.
Practicality talks about efficiency, and is therefore absorbed in Necessity and
Beneficiality.
During interpellation, you are supposed to ask questions which have been mentioned in
the other speaker's speech. Thus, if you are the one being interpellated, and the other
speaker asks you a question which does not relate to your speech, you may say, "Mr.
Interpellator, I never mentioned that it my speech. Please ask something more relevant."
At any rate, if the question is easy to answer, just answer it. Hehe.
You will find one of my draft debate speeches vs. UP. Hope this helps.
