Guys I think in effect na ito noon pa kahit wala pang ordinance ek ek.

I remember one time when I went to Gilmore to have my laptop fixed. This was last quarter ng 2006. Puno ang parking sa Gilmore IT center (basta yung building dun na maraming PC shops). So I parked on a nearby street near the building. Marami na ring naka park.

After ko magpakahirap mag parallel park, aba may lumapit na mama. Complete with ID, vest, cap...at sinisingil ako ng 25petot. Surprised ako since I used to go there before at PC Options pa lang ang nandun. He told me that my "barangay ordinance" daw na may parking fee if ever dito ka daw magpark.

Anyways, dahil nagmamadali ako, I paid na lang and then he gave me a pseudo receipt na obviously ay hindi naman official.

Coun. Tong este Bong Suntay, kung mabasa man po nyo ito, ehh mahiya naman po kayo sa lantarang paglalatag ng kotong nyo sa pamamagitan ng Parking Ticket ek ek na yan!! Kung balak nyo o nagmamadali kayo makabili ng mga expedition or cayenne, huwag nyo kami gatasan ng Parking Ticket!! QC ang pinaka High Tax Payer sa Metro Manila, malaki ang TAX sa QC, ano pa kakailanganin! Pambili nyo ng iphone? Nakakabwisit talaga! Patay business nyan!

IMO, they just want a piece of the pie by legalizing the parking fee. In T. Morato/Timog area, their parking attendants/watch your car are charging as much as PHP40!

Para saken favor ako doon sa parking fee pero dapat:

1) if you're gonna park for less than 30 mins dapat free.
2) Don't make it P40. P20 lang pwede na kasi open area.
3) Flat Rate parking for the 1st 8hrs para fair. Matagal na rin 8 hrs.
3) Have security for our vehicles.
4) Since they're asking for a fee, if any form of accident happens to our vehicles while they are parked automatically dapat pananagutan na yun ng govt.

Insured naman siguro yung mga parking facilities nila! If not, let them have it insured first. I don't want to use up my compre just because some guard wasn't doing his/her job. Aba, mahal rin magpa compre lalo na after you've used that compre of yours, sa susunod mong renewal eh lalo nilang itataas yung singil sa compre mo.
5) Dapat may surveillance cameras sa parking area para wala nang turuan ang mga vehicle owners at mga magbabantay just in case may aksidente. If the bantays can't provide a/v proof na wala ngang nangyari sa auto mo during their watch then panagutan nila. Sheer neglegence eh.

Ayan, tidnan naten kung papayag sila sa mga conditions na eto. Let's see if they're willing to shell out for the building and maintenance of this project nila.

it is actually a way of reducing vehicles on the streets. less vehicle, less pollution. and less fuel consumed.

it just needs further study and consultation. maybe only selected areas can be put under this ordinance.

I just parked along T.Morato exactly last week, in front of a bank (the name escapes me) across Mang Inasal. No charge nor parking attendant at that time, yet.

I just hate this whole parking charges and to make things worse, these parking attendants are very corrupt and will just pocket some of the fees, if not all. Just look at Manila under Lim. I noticed since he (Lim) stepped in (I don't recall in Atienza's watch), there are parking attendants starting to charge here and there.

Two incidents happened to us. Both times while in Chinatown. After crossing Jones Bridge, we parked in front of Savory Chicken and A&S Lamps bec. we needed to go to A&S. After less than five mins, we came out and ready to leave. The Manila parking attendant insists that we pay P40.00 for parking those few minutes. He even offered P30 "kung walang resibo". A similar incident in T. Alonzo St.

If they want to collect parking fees then they should just use automated parking meters. Because what they are getting is just a sliver of what is really being collected.

actually the pay parking in manila started with atienza. when Lim came back as mayor, the tickets were changed and even the collectors were changed or maybe re assigned.

sa quiapo store namin so we have been paying to park in front of our store for the past few years na din. whole day parking fee of 100 with ticket, plus yung collector na nag sasabi sa mga vendors na bawal sa harap namin mag pwesto.

guys, lets support this campaign,

[SIZE=4]Signature drive launched vs pay parking order[/SIZE]

MANILA, Philippines -- A multi-sectoral group against a proposed street pay parking ordinance in Quezon City will be launching a signature campaign to press for the withdrawal of the proposed measure filed by city councilor Bong Suntay.
The Koalisyon Laban sa Pay Parking sa Quezon City on Monday said it was not targeting a specific target number of signatures for the petition to ask for the withdrawal of proposed ordinance 2009-04.
The ordinance aims to impose parking fees ranging from P20 to P150 on vehicles parked along streets near “places of special interest” such as malls, churches, schools, commercial establishments, government offices, etc.
KLAPP-QC lead convenor Edwin Rodriguez earlier assailed the ordinance as ill-advised and ill-timed, claiming it would be another burden on motorists already paying high fuel prices.
He did not give any specific number on how many signatures they were working to gather, but said it could be “tens or hundreds of thousands, which are enough to pressure for the unilateral, unconditional, and immediate withdrawal of the proposed ordinance.”

Unpopular as this may be, I have to agree with this proposal to charge parking.

There's a local saying: "Thank God they paved the road. We now have a new parking lot!" Particularly for those who park their vehicles overnight in the street. If you go along Mariposa St in QC at night, you will see the whole street filled with parked cars. Apparently, their townhouse units could only accommodate 1 or 2 cars, so the 3rd and 4th cars are parked in the street. The road is already narrow, and these people just park outside. They should pay more in my view. You can afford to own 3 or more cars, then you should be able to pay for parking.

Bong Suntay lives along Mariposa St. So he should start working that area to prove that he really means to implement his ordinance.

It is well known in Greenhills commercial that the barangay out there clamps vehicles that are illegally parked. Very effective. Everyone parks where they should park. They should use these metal clamps on those street parked cars. P1000 is the fine to get the clamp off. Imagine, that's worth 50 parking fees * P40/parking. More money could be had by clamping illegally parked vehicles!

Our city is fast becoming crowded and there are responsibilities in owning a car. One is having enough parking space or garage space to accommodate the number of cars we own. The street is for the public to use, to enjoy and to collect fees from in order to keep the road maintained and safe. Try owning a car in NYC, Hong Kong, Singapore or Tokyo. It's still cheaper to own a car here.
