Ukoyisa ubhubhane kwiibhayisikile, aba bafazi bakwiiPhilippines bayazichasa izilo ezindleleni

“Bago ako sumakay, nagdadasal ako.” (Kwangoko kunohambo lwam, ndiyathandaza).

Esi sisithethe sikaDiana Teofilo, umqeqeshi waseNgilani osekhaya kunye nomqhubi webhayisikile ovela eCainta, eRizal, ngalo lonke ixesha kufuneka ebethe uhola wendlela kwibhayisikile yakhe.

Ayinamsebenzi nokuba uhamba ngebhayisikile ukuya emsebenzini okanye kumthengisi wentengiso, okanye ukuba uqhubeka nohambo olude okanye ugqogqo olukhawulezileyo ngaphesheya kwesixeko. Ngamaxesha onke uthandazela ukhuseleko - kunye neebhayisikile ezahlukeneyo ezinje ngaye zokufika kwiindawo zabo zingaphazamiseki.

Nokuba ungazama kangakanani ukuzikhusela, kukho izinto zangaphandle ezinokubakho. Ndiyathemba ukuba sonke iibhayisekile siza kuba silungile, ukuze sifike emsebenzini kwaye sihambe ngokukhuselekileyo, ”utshilo uDiana ethetha ngomxube wesiNgesi nesiPhilippines.

UDiana waqalisa ukukhwela ibhayisekile ukuze asebenze nje ngoJanuwari wokugqibela. Ngokuqhelekileyo kunokumthabatha iiyure ezimbini ukuya kwezine ukusuka emsebenzini eBonifacio World Metropolis, eTaguig, ukuya kwindlu eCainta. Yonke imihla, wakhankanya, wayeza kuzifumanisa engxamile kwaye imeko yakhe ixhonywe ngumsonto. Usuku ngalunye lokuya emsebenzini lumenze wakhawuleza ukuba nomsindo kwaye uzikhathalele.

Ngumyeni wam ondiphembelele. Ungumqhubi webhayisikile weBMX ke wathi masithenge isithuthuthu ukuze uzilolonge, ”utshilo uDiana. "Oko ndaqala ukusebenza, kuba ukhathele njengendawo yokwenza umthambo, ulale nje ngendlela," utshilo.

Ngokwandayo abantu bakwiiPhilippines baguqukele ekuqhubeni iibhayisikile kwindawo yabo yezothutho emva kokuba uMongameli Rodrigo Duterte ebeke iLuzon kunye neendawo ezahlukeneyo kuphuculo lokuvalelwa kweqela (ECQ) ngoMatshi wokugqibela ngenxa yesibetho se-COVID-19. I-ECQ yamisa ukusebenza kwezothutho oluninzi, olwashiya ukuqhuba kukhetho oluncinci lokufikelela kwindawo abaya kuyo-abasebenzi abaphambili kumlo we-COVID-19 kwaye abambalwa abasebenza kwicandelo labangekho kurhulumente bafumana iziphekepheke okanye basebenzise ezabo iimoto zakho.

Apha ngezantsi kwe-ECQ eguqulweyo, iibhayisekile, iibhayisikile kunye nezithuthuthu zombane zazisele zikho kuvunyelwe ezindleleni ethe yakhokelela ekubeni abaninzi, ngaphandle kwesidingo, benze umatshini onamavili amabini ekujikelezeni. Kwi Ingxelo ebuzayo Okokugqibela Might 17, abathengisi beebhayisikile kunye nabasasazi babike ukunyuka kwintengiso enkulu ngokutshixa.

Phambi kobhubhane, u-Yvonne, amanqaku ngetyala kunye ne-assortment staffer, uhlala ethatha i-UV Specific kuhambo lwakhe olusuka eCainta ukuya eMandaluyong.

Nangona kunjalo xa yena noogxa bakhe kuye kwafuneka baxele umsebenzi ongaphezulu kweenyanga ezintathu ezidlulileyo, ebengenayo enye indlela yokubonisa ukukhwela ibhayisikile.

Wayenoloyiko njengoko wayekulindele. U-Yvonne ukhankanye ukuba waye hamba ngesithuthuthu xa wayefikisa. Uye wakhankanya ukuba ubandakanyekile kusenokwenzeka ukuba sele elibele ukufumanisa ukuba angahamba njani enye okanye angafuna ingxaki yokuzilinganisela. Ukongeza wayengakuqhelanga ukuhamba ngebhayisikile kwiindlela zokuqala.

“Bendikade ndicinga, ngaba ndingamelana nayo? Amaqabane am ade andiyalele, 'Ngaba uyakwazi ukuyenza? Kuba ungawela kuhola wendlela okwethutyana kwaye ndikhankanyile, andinayo enye indlela, ”utshilo uYvonne okhankanywe kwiPhilippines.

I-Divine Campos, umama wamanenekazi amabini, ngokunyanzelekileyo wanyanzelwa ukuba atshintshe ukuhamba ngebhayisikile phakathi kwesifo. Njengomongikazi wezobuchwephesha onxulumene neekholeji zikarhulumente eSan Mateo, eRizal, u-Divine waqala ukukhathazeka malunga nendlela aza kufika ngayo emsebenzini wakhe ukuba kuya kufuneka anikezele ingxelo ngomzimba emva kwe-ECQ.

Uqale wathenga i-e-bhayisekile, kodwa wazama kabini ukuvula i-U-turn eMarcos Freeway ukufezekisa indawo yakhe yeholide-kwaye kabini wazifumanisa engakwazi ukuyenza.

Ngawo onke la maxesha, uDivine ukhankanye ukuba uqaphela abakhweli beebhayisikile bephethe iibhayisikile zabo kwibhulorho yeenyawo kwaye wacinga: “Hayi indlela abanethamsanqa ngayo iibhayisekile. Bafuna nje ukuphatha iibhayisekile, kungabikho nto iphantsi. ”

Kwiveki ezi-2, wayecinga malunga nokuba angajongana nokuhamba ngeebhayisikile ukusuka ePasig ukuya eSan Mateo. Uye wafika apha kulo lonke iphepha lewebhu le-Fb Ukuhamba kweMNLIqela elisekwe kwiwebhu elikhuthaza intlalontle yabahambi ngebhayisikile nabahambi ngeenyawo kwiMetro Manila, kwaye lazifumana lilangazelela ukusonga iibhayisikile.

"Ndithenge i-e-bhayisekile [emva koko] kusuku olulandelayo ndafumanisa nabani na okhuthaza ukusongelwa kweebhayisikile," utshilo. “Oko kusemva kokuba ndiqale [uhambo] lwam lokukhwela ibhayisikile.”

IPayay Bike Umkhweli

Kukho imimandla eyahlukeneyo eyahlukeneyo ye-Fb ezinikezelwe kwiibhayisikile zasePhilippines, ezinje I-Tropang Women Bikers kwaye IPadyak Pinay, phakathi kwezinye. UDiana, u-Divine no-Yvonne baye baboniswa kwangaphambili kwizithuba eziku-Padyak Pinay, eziqhele ukukhanyisa abakhweli beebhayisekile basePhilippines ngaphakathi komasipala omkhulu.

Kwiinyanga ezintathu kungeniswe yedwa, uJaramia “Geri” Amarnani wazimisela ukubeka iphepha lewebhu IPayay Bike Umkhweli kwi-Fb -indawo ekhuselekileyo esekwe kwiwebhu ezinikezelwe kubahambi ngeebhayisekile basePhilippines. Ukongeze iqela elingeloluntu loluntu i-Fb, iPinay Bike Commuter Ekuhlaleni, nabanye abantu abahamba ngebhayisikile ahlangana nabo Ukuhamba kweMNL kunye noKaren Silva-Crisostomo.

Ngokuhambelana noGeri, ubalaselisa amabali kunye nobungqina bamalungu ePinay Bike Commuter Neighborhood kwiphepha lewebhu. Ukwabelana nge-infographics kwisindululo sebhayisekile esekwe ikakhulu kubuchwephesha bakhe njengomhambi wezithuthuthu kwaye ngokufanayo uthumela iindaba ezivela kumaphepha ahlukeneyo anje ngePadyak Pinay kunye Iselfowuni kwi-MNL emva kokuba basebenze ngeebhayisikile zamantombazana.

"Ayilo khuphiswano kum olusuka kumaphepha ahlukeneyo, ndifuna nje abakhweli beebhayisekile bakwiiPhilippines [ukuze] baboniswe ukuze sikwazi ukongeza ukukhuthaza amantombazana ahlukeneyo ngebhayisikile," u-Geri uyalele I-INQUIRER.net.

"Ubhubhane ufikile apha kwaye imithwalo yamantombazana inyanzelekile, ngohlobo, ukuba inyanzelise ukuhamba ngebhayisikile," wongeze watsho. Kukuthatha ngokungafaniyo kwimeko apho unyanzeliswa ukuba wenze into enye ngenxa yeemeko (ngokuchaseneyo) ekufuneka uyenzile. Kunzima ngokwengqondo nangokwasemzimbeni. ”

Iphepha lewebhu okwangoku linabalandeli abangaphezu kwe-3,500 ukusukela ekumiselweni kwayo ngoJuni wokugqibela kwaye litshintshile laba yindawo yabantu bakwiiPhilippines, abakhweli beebhayisikile kunye nabangahambi ngeebhayisikile ngokufanayo, ukuze babelane ngemiceli mngeni yabo kunye nemigqaliselo ephambili ekuhambeni ngebhayisikile, kwaye bakhuthaze kwaye bakhuthazwe ukuba bahlole ukuhamba ngebhayisikile.

KuGeri, phantse kube yiminyaka emithandathu ukusukela oko waqalisa ukukhwela ibhayisekile esebenza. NjengoDiana, wayechukumisekile ngumyeni wakhe, owayedla ngokuhamba-bi-modal. Wayehamba ngebhayisekile kwindlu eMakati kwaye apake e-Ayala kwangoko kunokuba akhwele ibhasi eya eParañaque indawo awayeyisebenze ngaphambili.

Ngalo lonke ixesha engena endlwini, [wayedla] andixelele ngale nkululeko ngelixa ehamba ngebhayisikile. Njengokuba intombazana ekhulelweyo isiya ku-24/7 ikhathalela umntwana kwaye incancisa, bendirhalela kakhulu [loo] mvakalelo, ”utshilo. "Ke, ndimyalele ukuba kufuneka ndikhwele ibhayisekile emva kokuba ndibelekile."

Kwaye uye wenza. Khange ayeke oko.

Abaqhubi abangaqeqeshwanga kakuhle, ukunqongophala kwemizila yezithuthuthu, ukuxhatshazwa

Ukuhamba ngebhayisikile ngaphakathi kwesixeko akuzi bungozi. Ngaphandle kokunqongophala kwemizila yezithuthuthu kwezinye iindawo, iibhayisikile nazo ziyakhathalela abaqhubi abangalawulekiyo nabanochuku. Kwiibhayisikile zamanenekazi, kusenokubakho ukwanda kokuhlukunyezwa ngokwesini kunye neentloni zomzimba.

Ngokugqibela ngo-Agasti 23, umongikazi, URenz Jayson Perez, wayeqhuba ibhayisekile yakhe xa wabethwa lilori emnyama kwilori yasePadre Burgos naseMaria Orosa Streets eManila.

UPerez waphoswa ezantsi ngenxa yempembelelo kwaye wachazwa njengongenabomi ekufikeni kwesibhedlele esiqhelekileyo sasePhilippine. Ukuqhutywa kwenqwelo-mafutha ngelo xesha kwabaleka kuloo ndawo, nangona umnini-moto wayezinikele kwabasemagunyeni okokugqibela nge-Agasti 28.

UDiana wayalela uMbuzisi ukuba kukho amaxesha apho kuye kwafuneka ancokole kwaye ajongane nabaqhubi ngelixa ehamba ngebhayisikile, ngakumbi abo batyikityayo ngokungafuni ukwabelana nohola wendlela.

“Nokuba ndiphakathi kwendlela yebhayisekile, nangona kunjalo ndiyaphinwa, ndiye ndangena ngqo kumlo nomqhubi ngenxa yalonto. Okwesibini, iibhayisekile. Rhoqo andinawo umba ukuba ngoku kufuneka sabelane ngoohola wendlela, nangona kunjalo umba ziibhayisekile ezifana nokukunqanda, ”utshilo uDiana.

Iimeko ezinje ngezi ziqhelekile kumantombazana amaninzi, awayenezizathu zokufumana amava okuhlangabezana nabaqhubi bezithuthi abangaqeqeshwanga.

“Ezi ngaphakathi kwezithuthi, ii-PUV kunye neebhayisikile. Uninzi lwabaqhubi abalungileyo [kodwa] aba [bayingozi], bayingozi ngenene. Bayakhwaza kuwe, bakukhonkxe, baqhube kufutshane nawe, bakwenze iminqweno, bakukhathaze, ngokwesondo, njengokukubamba. Ngokuyintloko abakhathali [malunga] nabahambi ngebhayisikile okanye abahambi ngeenyawo, ”utshilo uGeri.

Njengommeli weebhayisikile, uGeri uthe ukholelwa ekubeni iindlela ezikhuselweyo ezisisigxina, ezikumgangatho ophezulu zebhayisekile, ezinjengezo ziseDenmark, kufuneka zibekwe ezixekweni ukubenza babe nobubele ngebhayisikile.

U-Yvonne ngokwakhe unesakhono sokuhonjiswa ngumqhubi weSUV nje ngexa wayeqhuba ibhayisekile e-Ortigas.

“Yayiluphawu lokuhamba kwaye iimoto ezisecaleni kwam zandihombisa kakhulu. Ndakhwaza, 'Awunantlonipho!' ngenxa yoko ndathenga ndothukile. Kunzima emva kokuba bekukhwankqisile oko usiya uphelelwa ngamandla, ”utshilo uYvonne.

Ngokobuthixo, kubonakala ngathi abaqhubi bezithuthi abazihloniphi iibhayisikile.

“Nabantu abahamba ngeenyawo abahlonitshwa, zingaphi iibhayisekile?” utshilo. Bacinge ukuba babelane ngohola wendlela. Ukusukela nje xa ukwisithuthi akuthethi ukuba ungukumkani wendlela. ”

UDiana ukongeza ekwabelaneni ngobungcali bakhe bokumila komzimba njengentombazana enkulu eqhuba iibhayisekile. Kukho amaxesha, watsho, xa wayenokuhamba ngebhayisikile kwaye wayenokudibana nengxelo engafanelekanga evela kubaphangi esitratweni.

“Heyi, miss, kulungile! Uza kutshintshela ekubeni lihashe ngokuhamba ngebhayisikile kuba umkhulu kakhulu 'okanye' Owu, ivili lisicaba ngenxa yomkhweli unzima. ' Xa oko kusenzeka, ndiye ndingabahoyi, andiphindi ndilwe, kodwa okulusizi, kunjalo, ”utshilo uDiana.

Izinto eziluncedo ngebhayisikile

Nokuba kungasetyenziswa gwenxa njani ezi bhayisekile zasePhilippines ezinokuba nezakhono kuhola wendlela, inye into ebonakalayo: ezi azonelanga ukuba ziyeke ukuhamba ngeebhayisikile, ngakumbi xa izibonelelo zingaphezulu kwezinto eziyingozi.

Okoko waqalisa ukuhamba ngebhayisikile, uDiana wathi ngoku unexesha elongezelelekileyo lakhe, elomyeni wakhe kunye nezilwanyana zasekhaya. Ubenobunzima obongezwe endaweni engeyiyo, wakhula waya ekuphapheleni ngakumbi kwaye egxile, kwaye wayekulungele ukonga imali kuyo nakweyiphi na enye imeko ngewayichithe ekuhlawuleni.

UGeri ukhankanye ukuba uziva omelele kwaye amandla akhe aphuculwe ukusuka ekuqhubeni ibhayisikile. "Andenzi ukuhamba ngebhayisikile ukuya kuphalaza iiponti ezingaphezulu nangona kunjalo ndijonga kwiifoto zam zangaphambili, ndikhangeleka ndiphezulu ngoku," utshilo. “Yongeze nemali ezinkozo kum. Into enamandla kakhulu lixesha! Ixesha elongezelelweyo lendlu yam. [Ngemizuzu] engamashumi amathathu, ndisele ndilapha ekhaya.

Kwimeko ka-Divine, intombi yakhe endala iye yanomdla wokuhamba ngeebhayisikile ngenxa yakhe.

“Uceba ukukhwela ibhayisekile [ngokunjalo], ke uthenge ibhayisekile yakhe yokusonga,” utshilo u-Divine. Utshintsho lube luhlobo lokuzibophelela kuthi kwimpelaveki nganye. Logama nje engenamsebenzi, sihamba ngebhayisikile xa sisonke. ”

U-Yvonne ukhankanyile ngoku ukuba akafiki mva emsebenzini, ngenxa yokuhamba ngebhayisikile. Uye wagqiba ngokumangalisayo ukuxhalaba kwakhe kwaye wamvumela ukuba avelise imikhwa ephezulu yokulala. Uyathanda nangakumbi ukuba ukulungele ukujonga i-atmosfere ngenxa yokuhamba ngebhayisikile kunciphisa ungcoliseko lomoya.

Abangafundanga banokufumanisa ukoyikeka ngebhayisikile phantsi, nangona kunjalo ukhathazekile, kuyo yonke imiba esandula ukudibana nayo, kubonakala ngathi ngumthetho, impendulo esemgangathweni.

"Bonke abantu banamava oku, uyoyika ekuqaleni, kodwa ngokuhamba kwexesha uyakha ukuzithemba kwakho," ucebise watsho uDivine. “Abazukwazi bade bazabalaze. Baza kuqala ezitalatweni zobumelwane babo kwaye ekugqibeleni bazakuphuma kuhola wendlela. ”

UDiana wongeze ukuba amanenekazi akwicala elinzima akufuneki aphazanyiswe xa befumana amandla kwibhayisekile.

"Lowo nguloliwe ulungileyo ngenxa yokuba besele ndinabo ubuchule, ilungile ke imizimba yethu," utshilo. “Ukuba bayalelwa ukuba bangamafutha okanye bayathotywa, ngoko uza kuthini? Sukuziqaphela ezi. Ukuhamba ngebhayisikile kuye wonke umntu, ukuhamba ngebhayisikile kuvuleleke kuye wonke umntu. ” KUNYE NEENGXELO EZIVELA KRIXIA SUBINGSUBING KUNYE NIKKA G. VALENZUELA
