CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM

Introduction

Republic Act 10913 AN ACT DEFINING AND PENALIZING DISTRACTED

DRIVING or the Anti-Distracted Driving Act is a new law that prohibits motorists from

using communication devices and other electronics entertainment and computing gadgets

while vehicles are in motion or temporarily stopped on a traffic light or an intersection,

which aims to “safeguard its citizenry from the ruinous and extremely injurious effects of

vehicular accidents”. This Act was passed by Senators Bong Revilla, Jinggoy Estrada and

Sergio Osmena III as Senate Bill No. 3211 on February 3, 2016 and adopted by the

House of Representatives as an amendment to House Bill No. 4531 on June 6, 2016. This

Act took effect on May 18, 2017 under the new administration of President Rodrigo

Duterte. A motorist, as defined under this law, is a person who is driving motor vehicles.

This act covers both public and private vehicles. It also covers wheeled agricultural

machineries, construction equipment, and other forms of conveyances such as bicycles,

pedicabs, trolleys, “habal-habal”, “kuliglig”, wagons, carriages and carts that may either

be human-powered or pulled by an animal as long as the same are operated or driven in

public thoroughfares, highways or streets.

In many countries, legislation already plays an important role in addressing driver

distraction. They have passed legal measures to ban handheld phones while driving.

According to Sen. Sergio R. Osmena, the Philippines is among the last few countries

without a law against distracted driving”. But recently, driver distraction in the

Philippines is now illegal or against the law. Bill has made its way into a law, which is
 2

now known as Republic Act 10913 or the Anti-Distracted Driving Act (ADD). Distracted

driving is a serious and growing threat to road safety. With more and more people

owning mobile phones, and the rapid introductions of new “in-vehicle” communication

systems, this problem is likely to escalate globally in the coming years, and also to evolve

as technologies alter. Levels of ownership and use of mobile phones has risen

exponentially over the past decade in all parts of the world. The demands of a phone

conversation compete with the demands of driving the vehicles safely. Mobile phone use

require more interaction than other more “traditional” sources of distraction, that may be

“self-paced” behaviors such as drinking coffee or eating a sandwich. Phone use by

drivers is more driven by the technology itself. The driver is expected to react to a ringing

phone, regardless the traffic or driving conditions at the particular moment. Using of

cellphone and driving has become a recent issue in today’s society. Many teens, as well

as adults, have formed a habit of using their cellphones while driving their car or while

waiting on a red signal of stop light.

The Department of Transportation and Communications-Land Transportation

Office

(DOTC-LTO ) is the lead implementing agency of the Act. The LTO also has the

authority to deputize members of the PNP, MMDA and LGU’s to carry out enforcement

functions and duties. The prohibited acts made while driving include but not limited to;

making or receiving calls, writing, sending, or reading text-based communications ,

watching movies, flirting, performing calculations, reading e-books, composing messages

and surfing or browsing the internet. But, there are exemptions. Motorists are allowed to

use their devices to make or take emergency calls to authorities in case of a crime,
 3

accidents, bomb or terrorist threat, fire or explosion, instances needing immediate

medical attention, or when personal safety and security is compromised. Motorists can

also use the aid of hands-free function and applications as long as these do not interfere

with driver’s line of sight. This means that no communication or electronic gadget should

be affixed on the cars dashboard and steering wheel. In addition, drivers are only allowed

to wear earphones when making or receiving calls. Using earphones to listen to music

falls under “similar acts” in Section 4B of the law, in addition to reckless driving

violation penalized under other relevant laws, they are also allowed to use gadgets with

traffic and navigational applications like Waze and Google Maps while driving but, it

should be installed in areas that will not obstruct the drivers view. In cases when

motorists need to find alternate routes while in traffic, they are advised to first pull their

vehicles aside. Operators and owners of Public Utility Vehicles (PUV) and other

commercial vehicles shall both be held liable for the violations committed by their

drivers. Violators will be penalized with a fine of five thousand pesos ( Php5,000) for the

first offense, ten thousand pesos ( Php10,000 ) for the second offense, and fifteen

thousand pesos ( Php15,000 ) for the third offense with a three month suspension of

driver’s license. Violations incurred beyond the third offense shall be penalized with the

revocation of driver’s license and fine of twenty thousand pesos ( Php20,000 ) .

In this study, the researchers wanted to know the Effectiveness of RA 10913 or the

Anti-Distracted Driving Act, what would be its outcome to our society especially to the

motorists and passengers, as well as its advantages, and disadvantages.

 4

Statement of the problem

This study sought to determine how effective the members of PNP, LTO and

Traffic enforcers implement the Anti-Distracted Driving act or RA 10913

It also sought to answer the following specific questions:

1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of

A. Age

B. Sex

C. Civil status

D. Educational attainment

2. What is the level of implementation of Anti Distracted Driving Act in terms of

a. Enactment

b. Enforcement

c. Fines

d. Exemption

e. Reaction

f. Suspension

3. Are there significant differences on the level of implementation of RA 10913

among the PNP, LTO and Traffic Enforcers.

4. Is there a significant relationship of the profile of the respondents and the level of

implementation of the Anti-Distracted Driving Act ?

 5

Scope and Delimitation

This study was conducted at Botolan and Iba, Zambales utilizing the

following agencies, the Land Transportation Office, Philippine National Police

and Traffic enforcers stations. The respondents were be the PNP, LTO, and

Traffic enforcers. This study focused on the level of implementation of Anti

Distracted Driving Act or RA 10913 in terms of enactment, enforcement, fines,

exemptions, reactions and suspension. It also looked into the profile of the

respondents in terms of age, sex, civil status, educational attainment, occupation,

and monthly income, number of trainings and seminars attended and years in

service. It also looked at the relationship between the profile of the respondents

and the level of implementation of Anti Distracted Driving Act. The respondents

were compose of 18 LTO employees, 25 PNP personnel, and 25 Traffic enforcers

from Botolan and Iba . These respondents were taken at random

Review of Related Literature and Studies

Here are some of the latest research on distracted driving, with the focus on cell phone

use and text messaging.

A literature review was conducted to identify an summarize findings relating to

commercial truck and bus driver distraction research conducted thus far. The literature

reviewed in this task consisted of reports and analyses available from academic,

government,, and industry sources. The review conducted primarily through Internet
 6

searches of online data bases, publications, and other industry resources. The reports

identified have been summarized and are described in the following sections:

 The nature of distracted driving.

 Driver tasks unique to professional drivers.

 Countermeasure technologies and their effectiveness.

 Operational strategies and recommended practices.

The primary focus of this review was to examine and further understand

driver distraction and its impact on commercial vehicle safety. Because available

truck and bus technology capabilities have been changing dramatic since the mid-

1990s, the literature cited herein was published since that time.

Literature searches were performed using websites, academic databases,

books, trade press publications, and articles. The following databases were used to

conduct the reviews:

 Transportation Research Information Databases(TRID)

The largest online bibliographic databases of transportation research, containing

more than 900,000 records of published research.

 Business Source Premier: Features the full text for more than 2,200 journals. Full

text is provided back to 1965, and searchable cited references back to 1998
 7

 LexisNexis: Provides access to many popular articles as well as some scholarly

works. There is also access to congressional records, courts decisions, and

government statistical reports.

These databases were searched using a variety of topic-related key words and

phrases, often in combinations to improve focus. Key words included commercial motor

vehicles, trucking, motor coaches, commercial drivers, safety, safety management,

operations management ,risk management, driver distraction, driver tasks, driver

workload ,distraction countermeasures, safety culture, safety climate ,crash reduction,

driver training ,and driver supervision.

A wide range of studies have addressed distracted driving and it continues to be a

very active research topic. Studies of most relevance to this project are summarized here

for the general driver population; the next section addresses commercial vehicles drivers

specifically. The issues can be grouped into the following topics.

Research Design

Methodology

This study utilized the descriptive correlational method of research. Descriptive

because the data gathered were presented quantitatively and it has adequate

interpretation. Correlational because it tested the relationship of one variable to the other

variable.

Population and Sample

This study utilized 18 LTO employees, 25 PNP Personnel and 2O Traffic

enforcers with a total of 68 respondents of the study from Botolan and Iba. The purposive

sampling technique was utilized in deciding the respondent .Purposive because the

researchers make use only the respondents who are responsible for the implementation of

the Republic Act. These respondents were taken at random.

 11

Data Gathering Instrument

The primary tool for gathering the data needed in this study was the questionnaire.

The researchers constructed a questionnaire consisting of two parts. Part I determined the

profile of the respondents and Part II elicited the level of implementation of RA 10913 or

the Anti-Distracted Driving Act. The questionnaire was checked by their advisers and

was validated by those who are knowledgeable on the subject. After all corrections and

suggestions were incorporated, the researchers reproduced the questionnaire and floated

to the desired number of respondents.

Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers formulated a letter addressed to the Head of the Land

Transportation Office, Chief of Police, Head of the Traffic Enforcer Team and to the

respondents requesting permission to float questionnaire to the target respondents. The

researchers personally administered the floating of the questionnaires to ensure 100%

retrieval. When all questionnaires were retrieved, the researchers started processing the

data gathered and analysed the data by using appropriate statistical tools.

Statistical Treatment of Data

The data that were gathered were analysed using the following statistical tools:

1. Frequency count and percentage to determine the profile of the respondents.

2. Mean to determine the level of implementation of RA 10913 or the Anti-

Distracted Driving act.

 12

3. ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) to determine the significant differences on

the level of implementation of RA 10913 or Anti-Distracted Driving Act

among the perception of the respondents.

4. Chi-Square ( X2 ) test to determine if the influence of the profile of the

respondents to the level of implementation of RA 10913.

The item mean rating on the level of implementation of RA 10913 along

Enactment is presented in table 2.

The results showed that all the activities along enactment of the law, were found

to be all “highly implemented”. The following activities with their corresponding mean

rating to show how the LTO employees, PNP personnel and Traffic enforcers, maintain

good relationship with motorist and commuters.

The overall rating of the implementation along the enactment, its implementation

as perceived by LTO employees was “very high” with a total rating of 4.57. Among with

PNP personnel in Iba and Botolan, the rating of implementation was “very high” with the

overall rating of 4.49 and under the Traffic enforcers the implementation was also “very

high” with the rating of 4.67.

 18

Considering that the total ratings of its implementation as a whole was 4.57 there

was a very high level of implementation. It indicated that the imposition of law by the

LTO, PNP and Traffic enforcers was “very high” in implementation, it implies that the

respondents were satisfied with the implementation of RA10913 or the Anti-Distracted

Driving Act.

The summary of the level of implementation of the Anti-Distracted Driving Act

(RA10913) is presented in Table 8.

The respondents from the LTO Employees gave a “Very High” level on

implementation of Anti-Distracted Driving Act with a mean rating of 4.37 as a whole,

while the PNP personnel’s gave a “Very High” level of implementation with a mean

rating of 4.34 as a whole and the Traffic enforcer gave a “Very High” level of

implementation of the Anti-Distracted Driving Act as a whole with a mean rating of 4.37,

it appears that the implementation of the new law is effective and have a good outcome to

the society.

Although as a whole Enforcement and Exemption got High as a level of

implementation all the rest are Very High. This picture of the level of implementation is

very amazing although it is still the first year of implementation so it is hoped that the

best result will follow meaning there will be no more violators.

The comparison between the perceptions of the respondent on the level of

implementation of RA 10913 among the different sectors among enactment is presented

in table 9.

The results revealed that the computed F-ratio was 1.07 which is less than the

critical value and led the researchers to accept the null hypothesis. This implies along

enactment the three groups of respondents have more less similar assessment on the

implementation of RA 10913.

It was found out that the computed value of F-ratio was .16. The null hypothesis

was accepted so there were no significant differences found among the perception of the

three groups of respondents on the level of implementation of RA 10913. This implies

that although is still new in implementation them enforcers have the same level of

implementation and that they enforce the law on a similar basis.

The summary of the relationship between the profile of the respondents and the

level of implementation of RA 10913 is shown in Table 16.

The result shows the enactment is significantly related to the sex (x 2=9.48). These

imply that the gender has something to do in the enactment of RA 10913, which means,

male is more effective in enacting the law than female or vice versa. Male is more

effective in presenting this law because in our present day there are more male traffic

enforcer, police officer, and LTO employees than female. Next is enforcement, which is
 30

significantly related to age (x2=5.37) and educational attainment (x2=12.82). This shows

that the older the LTO officers, traffic enforcers and PNP personnel the more experience

they have and more knowledgeable they are in enforcing the law, likewise the

educational attainment of the enforcing personnel implies that the education they acquire

may improve their knowledge about the law and it is shown that the higher the education

they have the more effective the law will be enforced. Another is fine, it is significantly

related to civil status (x2=8.45), which means in imposing fines the married is more strict

than single in imposing fines or vice versa. This shows that those who are single might

think of being corrupt enforcer instead of imposing fine he will receive money from

violators because he/she is single. Another is exemption, it is significantly related to sex

(x2=10.68). This shown that the gender has something to do with exemption, this means

that the male is more knowledgeable than female in exemptions of this law. Next is

reaction, it is significantly related to civil status (x2=9.69). This shows that civil status,

married is mostly aware in the reaction than single, this shows that the reactions of the

motorist and commuters is important to know. And the last is suspension which is

significantly related to age (x2=7.28) and educational attainment (x2=13.09).These show

that the older the LTO enforcer, PNP personnel, and Traffic enforcer they are more

experienced about suspension of violators. It is shown that they are probably

knowledgeable about the implementation of the RA 10913, likewise the educational

attainment imply that the education is improving their knowledge to suspend the violators

and it show that in educational attainment of the enforcing personnel will discipline all

the motorist and make the Philippines the better place.

Chapter III

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND

RECOMMENDATION

Summary

The purpose of this study was to determine the level of implementation of The

Anti-Distracted Driving Act or the RA 10913 in Botolan and Iba, Zambales. It focused on

the profile of the respondents, age, sex, civil status, educational attainment, occupation,

monthly income, number of seminars and trainings attended and number of years

attended. The respondents are the LTO employees, Traffic enforcers, and PNP personnel.

The researchers included the checkpoints spots of the said respondents to assess the level

of implementation of ADDA or the RA 10913 along the following: enactment,

enforcement, fines, exemption, reaction, and suspension to be answered by LTO

employees, traffic enforcer, and PNP personnel. The respondents were eighteen (18) LTO

employees, twenty five (25) PNP personnel, and twenty five (25) traffic enforcers making

a total of 68 respondents. A descriptive correlation method of research was utilized.

Secondary data were employed in the gathering of data which were taken from the PNP

personnel, LTO employees, and Traffic enforcers regarding the ADDA. A questionnaire

was constructed by the researchers to elicit the level of implementation of RA 10913 in

Botolan, and Iba, Zambales as perceived by the respondents. The respondents were taken

at random.
 32

Findings

Based on the data gathered the following were revealed:

I. Profile of the respondents

The age of the LTO employees revealed that six (6) or 33.33% each were 50 years

and above, 40-49 and 30-39 years old. With regards to the PNP personnel, ten (10) or

40% belonged to 40-49 bracket, nine (9) or 36% were 30-39 years old. In terms of the

traffic enforcers, 15 or 60% were 30-39 age bracket and six (6) or 24% were 40-49 years

old.

Out of the 68 respondents 55 or 81% were male while only 13 or 19% were

female. As to their marital status, 51 or 75% were married, 7 or 10% were single. There

were 46 or 68% college graduate, 20 or 29% were high school graduates and they all

belong to the group of traffic enforcers.

II. Level of implementation of RA 10913

Along enactment, the LTO registered an overall mean of 4.57, 4.49 for the PNP

and 4.67 from the Traffic enforcers and as a whole the mean rating was 4.67 from the

Traffic enforcers and as a whole the mean rating was 4.57.

Along fines, 4.41 was the mean rating of the LTO, 4.24 by the PNP and 4.23 by

the Traffic enforcers with a total mean rating of 4.29.

Exemption on the other hand registered a mean rating of 4.13 by the LTO, 3.98 by

the PNP and 4.2 from the Traffic enforcers with a total mean rating of 4.10.
 33

Along reaction the findings were 4.33 mean rating from the LTO, 4.39 from the

PNP, 4.24 from the Traffic enforcers and as a whole was 4.32.

Finally along suspension the mean rating for LTO was 4.19, 4.41 for the PNP and

4.66 for the Traffic enforcers and as a whole, it was 4.42.

III. Comparison on the Level of Implementation of RA 10913

Analysis of Variance was used to compare the perception of the three sectors on

the level of implementation of RA 10913. The computed F-ratio along enactment was

1.07, along enforcement (F=.16), along fines (F=1.25), along exemption (F=.7), along

reaction (F=.98), and along suspension (F=4.31).

IV. Relationship Between Profile and Level of Implementation of RA 10913.

Chi-square (x2) was used to test the relationship between the profile of the

respondents and the level of implementation of RA 10913. The result revealed the

following: between sex and enactment (x2=9.48), between age and enforcement

(x2=5.37), educational attainment and enforcement (x2=12.82), civil status and fines

(8.45), sex and exemption (x2=10.68), civil status and reaction (x2=9.69), age and

suspension (x2=7.28), and educational attainment and suspension (x2=13.09).

Conclusions

Based on the findings in this study, the following conclusions were drawn:

I. Along Profile of Respondents

 34

Mostly of the respondents were 30-39 years old, majority were male, mostly

were married, and most of them were college graduate.

II. Along Level of Implementation of RA 10913

In term of enactment, the LTO, PNP and Traffic enforcers displayed a “very

high” level of implementation the same is true with enforcement, a “very high” level

of implementation of RA 10913 was revealed, along fines the same result was found

“very high” level of implementation, along exemption, it was found out that the level

of implementation of RA 10913 was registered at “high” level, on the other hand, a

“very high” level of implementation was displayed along reaction, along suspension,

“high” level for LTO, “very high” level for PNP and Traffic enforcers and as a whole

was of a “very high” level of implementation.

III. Along Comparison on the Level of Implementation of RA 10913

There was a significant difference found along suspension but no significant

differences were found along enactment, enforcement, fines, exemption, and reaction.

IV. Along relationship between profile and level of implementation of

RA10913

There were significant relationship found between the following: sex and

enactment, age and enforcement, educational attainment and enforcement, civil status and

fines, sex and exemption, civil status and reaction, and between suspension and age and

educational attainment.

Recommendations
 35

Based on the conclusions drawn in this study, the researchers recommended the

following:

1. There should be more variables included in the profile but this could be done if

there will be a next study to be conducted.

2. Since it is still the first year of implementation and it yielded a very amazing

result, it is then hoped that the LTO, PNP and Traffic enforcers with still do their

best and be more vigilant to watch on the violators of this act.

3. Since there were no significant differences found along enactment, enforcement,

fines, exemption and reaction, the members of the implementation of this RA

10913 should keep on synchronizing their plans/strategies to ensure a more

dedicated implementation of the law.

4. Since the level of implementation of the provisions of RA 10913 was found to

have significant relationship to some of the profile of the respondents it is

recommended that more items on the profile should be included to be sure if these

are the only profile that are significantly related.

5. A follow-up study showed still be conducted to confirm if the level of

implementation of the different provisions of this law is still of the “very high”

level.
