Activity: Republic Act No. 11229

1. What is Republic Act No. 11229?

This is a law approved by the Philippine legislature that assures the safety of children when riding in
any motor vehicle. This legislation is referred to as the "Child Safety in Motor Vehicles Act." Additionally,
Section 4 of this statute highlights the importance of kid restraints in motor vehicles. This is defined by the
state as a device that can accommodate a kid occupant and is intended to reduce the risk of injury in the
case of an accident, collision, or abrupt deceleration. For instance, manufacturers should mandate the
installation of seatbelts for each passenger, as well as airbag systems and other unique safety measures.
Additionally, child seats are considered a restraint mechanism. As a result, a distributor or vendor must
adhere to certain regulations and norms.

2. According to the law, what is simulated birth and how do a Filipino fix this situation?

Simulated birth is addressed in Republic Act no. 11222, often known as the "Simulated Birth
Rectification Act." It is declared that, notwithstanding any other legislation, a person or persons who
simulated the birth of a child prior to the effective date of this Act, as well as those who participated in the
simulation's execution, are not criminally, civilly, or administratively accountable for the act. However, such
person or individuals must ensure that the birth simulation was done in the best interests of the child and
that the child has always been regarded as her, his, or their own daughter or son.

3. How is this act related to RA 8750?

Republic Act No. 8750, popularly known as the "Seat Belts Use Act of 1999," is a proclamation by
the state that acknowledges the mandatory use of seatbelts in all motor vehicles, both public and private,
on public roads and public transportation systems. Moreover, under Section 4 of the act (Mandatory Use of
Seatbelt), which emphasizes the importance of seatbelt use in a moving vehicle, it is required that the
driver and front seat passenger wear seatbelts. If R.A 11229 were to be implemented, it is anticipated that
restraining measures, like as seat belts, would be required for all passengers, including minors. R.A. 8750
also makes it clear that children under the age of six are not permitted to sit in front of the driver, as stated
in Section 5.

4. Comparing violations of RA 11229 and RA 8750, examine the causes and which has a grave / heavier
punishment? Explain.

RA 11229 Sections 4 and 5 are violated, and the motorist will be issued a violation for doing so.
They are subject to a fine. For the first offense, you will be fined one thousand pesos. For the second
offense, the fine is two thousand pesos. Then there's a fine of 5,000 pesos and a one-year suspension of
your driving privileges. On the other hand, RA 8750 imposes monetary penalties on those who violate the
law, however the fines are less severe than those imposed under RA 11229. In contrast, if a passenger does
not wear a seatbelt, they will be subjected to a commensurate punishment. It also carries a fine ranging
from three hundred pesos to a maximum of three thousand pesos for each offense.
