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.

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
