Why do i ask? Parang pag may hinuhuli sila certain type of cars lang at iba pinapalampas. Do they purposely not stop offenders who drive certain types of vehicles.
Yesterday sa harap ng MiniStop sa Legaspi Village may Pajero na nag double park. noon i-to-tow ng JV towing ba yun lumabas ang may ari at nag wawala dahil barkada daw niya ang anak ni Binay. Tumawag siya sa cel niya at napatunayan na friend niya ang anak ni Binay.
What kind of a law is it that will only be implemented to those who arent in power or related to or friends power?
what can "ordinary" citizens do against this?

You don't see heavily tinted black Nissan Patrols towed, don't you?
Buwaya naman ang MAPSA kaya minsan kelangan madugas ka din lalo na kung alam mong wala ka namang maling nagawa. Yung nag-uusog nga ng sasakyan (nilabas isang sasakyan then kukunin yung isa pa sa loob) tino-tow ng mga kolokoy na ito, eh.

March 14th, 2007 10:50 AM #3In a way, yes, they profile their 'victims'. Depende sa car. If you drive an exotic car, malamang kahit sa towing zone ka pa pumarada, hindi nila hihilahin yan. Pero kung average lang to above average yung car na dala mo at wala ka sa parking line nila, pwede ka na hatakin.
I personally saw a Ferrari (Modena yata) in front of The Peak in Salcedo. Tiningnan lang ng mga towing boys, tumigil sandali, (I guess to admire the car?) tapos umalis din.
I guess they profile it on the looks of the car. On how expensive it looks, and not on how much it costs. Most people don't know the price of most cars anyway. For example: Most people don't know that a Porsche 997 Turbo (13M) costs more than some slightly used Ferraris (I saw two (2) 2003 Modenas for sale at 11M a piece) in the market, but if they had to choose, I bet they'd choose to tow the Porsche.

Bribe...
...I wouldn't normally do this but I have work and time is important to me. Almost got towed kanina. One of my ofismate was behind me. Chain nila back of my samurai sa front ng lancer niya. Pagdating ko which was before 7am bawal na daw dun (back of delarosa paking lot) eh sa street sign 7am-9pm ang towing time and this is the first time na on the dot sila nag tow (mukhang may nag tip). My officemate gave his DR to the mapsa. I didn't. Kaya pati siya hiningan kahit sinabi ko para sa amin dalawa na yun. It would be easy to say na nag over ako sa 7am kasi we were still there up to 7:20am waiting for another tow truck to arrived, one had already lifted a third car which was behind us...haaay...buhay nga naman. Pinag mumura ko nga yun mapsa nun sumakay siya sa akin. Suwerte siya at di ako nightshift kundi diretso ako sa office nila. Smile lang siya kasi alam niya may pang kain na siya ng breakfast, lunch and dinner. Tignan natin bukas kung hahatakin nila yun Patrol.

March 14th, 2007 10:59 AM #6hmm.... siguro much better if you look for the proper parking place kahit na medyo kailangan mo maglakad papunta sa pupuntahan mo.... anyway, frequent ako sa makati area and i always make it a point na meron ako pwede pagparadahan ng sasakyan bago ako pumunta sa pupuntahan ko....
anyway about padrinos.... i'd rather not use them kahit na iwas abala.... anyway kung may kotongero na pulis.... that is the time na magandang gamitin ang padrino mo not to avoid the kotong but to make sure this kotongero gets punished.....

based on my observation they tow sedans, auvs and old cars.. pag may isang hilera ng vehicles, uunahin nilang i-tow yung mga ganitong types..
kahapon nakakita ako ng PLDT service vehicle na na-tow dahil sa pag park sa right side ng road, along the street beside Greenbelt 1, hehe. pati yun di pinatawad, ang lapit lang ng building ng PLDT dun.
IMO, ordinary citizens can do nothing about this.. iwas na lang sa places na red ang gutter. use pay parking lots..
