The forum will it start around 8:30 am at the MMDA Auditorium in Makati City where Chairman Emerson Carlos will give an inspirational talk to open the day’s festivities.

This will be followed by Director Francis Almora of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) will talk about the “Issues and Challenges of Law Enforcement in Promoting Road Safety.” Meanwhile, Augusto Lagman of the AAP will discuss “Private Sector Assessment of the State of Road Safety.” Lastly, Prulife UK’s Assistant Vice President for Brand and Communication Gizelle Camua will give a lecture about “Safe Steps: A Road Safety Advocacy.”
