Ban on parking fees pushed

QUEZON CITY, METRO MANILA — Marikina City Representative Marcelino Teodoro has proposed banning parking fees in malls, hotels and other public commercial areas.
Teodoro criticized the excessive collection of fees by establishments that take advantage of parking space for commercial use.
He admits parking space contributes to the “economic viability” of local businesses. However, he points out that more and more establishments are profiting from it, charging extra after three hours.
“The fact that the commercial centers and shopping mall managements always deny responsibility for the loss of any vehicle or any personal property left inside the car, even if it occurred inside their guarded parking areas, is a glaring example of customers being short-changed,” Teodoro said in an advisory.
Under the measure proposed by Teodoro, owners of shopping malls, hotels and similar business and commercial establishments are prohibited from “imposing, exacting, collecting or charging any fees for the use of parking spaces located within these establishments.”
The measure also states that no building permit shall be issued for the construction of business and commercial establishments that include parking spaces and facilities, buildings and other facilities for parking purposes unless the owner submits an affidavit that parking spaces and facilities shall be made available to their patrons or customers free of charge.
The bill also provides a penalty of imprisonment of not more than five years and a fine of not more than P500,000 to violators.
Instead of profiting from the use of parking spaces, Teodoro suggests commercial establishments should give back to their loyal customers.

P.S: Sorry kung may existing thread na.

Baka sabihin ng malls, ok wala na palang singil, di na kami papagawa ng building magastos yun, parking nalang kayo sa init ng araw, wala ng lilim

[uls]

tatayuan nalang nila ng mga building ang mga open parking space

convert to rental property ang mga carpark

mga customer bahala na maghanap ng parking

doon nalang magpark along edsa

napaka-populist ng proposal

[emj21]

Okay lang na magbayad basta babantayan at sagot nila kung ano man mangyari sa sasakyan mo...

Ang problema baka gumawa ng bagong ruling ang mga city goverment na dapat may ample parking space kasama sa itatayong mall, bago sila bibigay ng permit

[_Qwerty_]

tama. pag libre aabusuhin

[shadow]

hinde nila pwedeng gawin yan., private property ang mga carpark buildings. paano gagawin libre eh abusado mga tao. lahat ng nagtratrabaho sa paligid ng malls doon na mag park.

it's business, meron din silang gastos sa pag build ng carpark building, maintenance, personnel, utilities etc.

kung ayaw magbayad ng parking fee eh di huwag pumunta doon ang consumers dalhin sa ibang malls na walang bayad ang parking fee ang business nila. wala rin naman sinabing dapat magdala ng kotse pumunta ng malls.

[shadow]

kung na approve ito para makabawi mga malls eh singilin na nila mga jologs na walang sariling A/C sa bahay na pumupunta lang ng malls para magpalamig.

lagyan nila entrance fee ang malls para hinde na subsidized ng mga may kotse yun ginagastos sa pagpapalamig ng mga jologs sa malls.

[CVT]

^^^ They can't charge exorbitant fees, though. Baka wala nang pumasok sa mall nila...

Sa mga jologs,- puwede na rin. Sa presyong mababa,- enjoy na enjoy ka na sa airconditioned malls....

as it is, madami tao pumupunta sa mall, puno lagi ang mga parking

so it's clear people are not discouraged by mall parking fees

[samleggy]

sa robinsons metroeast pasig walang bayad ang parking.

[beni23]

The best they could do sana is tanggalin yung "The management shall not be responsible of losses or damages", so parang sinasabi na "park at your own risk" yun. Kaya nga nagbabayad para may peace of mind eh.

[Mguy]

This is veeeery old news.

Naku, may senate hearing pa nga dati yan eh, headed by Enrile. Ayun, tumahimik pagkatapos na binayaran ng mga mall kings and queens. La nanyari. Tumaas pa nga singil ng mga malls eh.

[ghosthunter]

As much as I would like to support such a move, I think it is stupid to ask for free parking in commercial establishments like malls.

[uls]

if the mall will be made responsible for loss or damage sa mga vehicles, sobra baba ang amount ng current parking fees

in order to hedge against having to pay for losses or damages to vehicles parked within their premises, mall owners will have to buy insurance.

they will then pass the cost of premiums to those who park in their premises

how much does it take to insure, say, 5000 cars?

how much in monthly premiums does a mall owner have to pay an insurance company?
