Idineklara ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. ang huling working day ng Nobyembre bilang “National Bike-To-Work Day”.

Bahagi ito ng public awareness na gamitin ang pagbibisikleta bilang alternatibong transportasyon sa Pilipinas.

“The Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028 underscores the need to develop active transport network, and accord highest priority to pedestrians and cyclists in the hierarchy of road users,” saad ng proklamasyon.

“The post-pandemic ‘New Normal’ requires the adoption of measures to enable safe, independent, physically-distanced travel, especially for essential workers, so that the country is better prepared in the event of another health emergency,” sabi ng prokralamasyon.

Inatasan ni Pangulong Marcos ang Inter-Agency Technical Working Group on Active Transport (IATWG-AT) ng Department of Health (DOH) na pangunahan at mangasiwaan ang “National Bike-to-Work Day.”
