00:00In the hearing of the Senate Committee on Public Services, it was mentioned some complaints of parochial families of motorcycle taxis,
00:11particularly helmets that are used that don't smell good and there was a complaint that there was an accident because of the use of helmets in motorcycle taxis.
00:23The CEO of the motorcycle taxi ride-hailing app explained that they are starting a charcoal cleaning mechanism for their helmets.
00:38They are also subsidizing new helmets for their riders.
00:43In addition, in order to be hygienic, the use of helmets in motorcycle taxis requires the use of hair nets.
00:56However, there are those who don't use hair nets.
01:00That's why sweat and other odors pass through the helmet users.
01:07But for you, we are here at Honorio Lopez Boulevard in Tondo, Manila to demo a solution that was thought of by a young entrepreneur,
01:20which is a helmet cleaning vendo.
01:23You can see this behind me.
01:25They are using a three-step process in cleaning helmets.
01:31I will demo this to you.
01:33For P25, this is a vendo machine.
01:37You will put your helmet.
01:41Put P25 coins.
01:48It can be P20, P10, P5, P15. It can be as long as P25.
01:53Close it.
01:54Just wait for the machine to initialize for about a minute.
02:00This is the three-step process.
02:03There will be UV lights.
02:05There will also be fog.
02:08Later, we will see that the machine will fog up.
02:11And there will be a steaming process.
02:18After about two and a half minutes,
02:22you can see that your helmet is now cleaner.
02:26And when you smell it, it doesn't smell bad anymore.
02:30That's what they call a helmet that doesn't smell good anymore.
02:36It smells bad.
02:37You can only imagine.
02:40For example, yesterday, a passenger, a rider,
02:4510 different types of sweat, heads of passengers,
02:52were moving their helmets.
02:55Let me show you.
02:56It's now steaming.
02:59Our cleaning machine is now fogging up.
03:05You can smell it. It smells clean.
03:07What is used to clean and make it smell good is FDA-approved and non-hazardous.
03:15There.
03:17There.
03:19Later, we will talk to the riders about what they think about this helmet cleaning vendo machine.
03:26After that, we will ask them about the smell of their helmets.
03:31We will be back later with more information about the helmet cleaning vendo machine.
03:36We will be back shortly.
