BASKETBALL and volleyball take center-stage when the second leg of the Auto Review Road Safety Olympics blasts off on March 21 at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.

Six teams composed of Mazda Philippines, Bridgestone Tires, Metro Manila Development Authority , Chevrolet, University of Santo Tomas and a guest team representing the media are seeing action in the whole-day activity, while guest schools from the University Athletic Association of the Philippines and the National Collegiate Athletic Association will show their wares in the cheer-leading exhibitions and road safety slogan chants.

Playing an active participation in the day-long event are road safety stakeholders from the government and motoring sectors, including Isuzu Philippines, Mitsubishi Motors and Toyota Motors Phils.

With the theme “Road Safety: Everybody’s Responsibility,” Auto Review conducted its initial leg of the advocacy event last January at the SM By The Bay at the Mall of Asia, with the support of Metro Manila Development Authority, Philippine Global Road Safety Partnership, Automotive Association of the Philippines, DILG, PNP, DPWH, Red Cross, Philippine Coast Guard, Roadhouse Manila BayAGC Flat Glass Phils., and the Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines.

“We thought of something different, so we came up with this event to drive home the message of road safety and courtesy. People love sports and to our belief, it can very well mix with the promotion of road safety as everyone’s responsibility,” said Ron delos Reyes, producer-host of Auto Review, one of the country’s longest-running motoring shows on TV, when he guested at the Philippine Sportswriters Association on Tuesday at the Shakey’s in Malate.

In that first leg, over 300 participants composed mostly of traffic enforcers, played beach volleyball, tug-of-war and an amazing race-type of road safety trivia challenge in a whole-day event that centered on the promotion of courtesy for motorists, pedestrians and other road users.
