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.
