I live in the city of Manila. And all i can say is that this place is notorious
for lack of parking spaces and more recently towing firms, stupids traffic enforcers, kotong cops in bikes and stainless jeeps with no plate and also
parking boys who charge php 30 parking fees even when you are in your vehicle waiting for someone.
Most of the time we have only ourselves to blame for lack of knowledge of the
law on parking. so do download this small page from the LTO handbook
and slap it in the face of any stupid enforcer before he tells you that
you are illegally parked.
I have seen many instances wherein a stupid cop would approach a driver
in a vehicle and ask for the license due to illegal parking. The poor driver would hand over his license without any protest even if he is still in his car with the engine running. More stupid is when parking boys would collect
parking fees from drivers also in the same situation. In most cases the victims are family or truck drivers who are not well informed or easily harrassed by these bad elements. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse as they say.
