Hataw na parking fee sa SM malls binanatan ni Cong.Jaworski

[BoEinG_747]

BINANATAN ni Pasig City Rep. Robert ’Dodot’ Jaworski ang tinaguriang mall moguls, partikular si retail magnate Henry Sy dahil sa abusado at sakim umanong paniningil ng parking fees sa mga sasak-yan ng kanilang mga kliyente.

Sa panayam, kinondena ni Jaworski ang Shoe Mart (SM) at mga katulad na
establisyamento na naniningil ng parking fees sa mga kliyente na nagiging profit-driven scheme ng mga kompanya.

“I condemn in the highest possible term unscrupulous businessmen charging fees for parking,” ani Jaworski.

Tinawag ni Jaworski na hindi makatwirang ‘‘business practice’’ ang pangongolekta ng parking fees nang igiit na bahagi dapat ito ng serbisyo na libre sa mga kliyenteng walang humpay na sumusuporta sa negosyo ng mga ito.

“Parking should always be available to the customers as component of better service, it should not be chargeable because it is abusing the kindness of customers supporting their businesses,” ani Jaworski.

Nanawagan si Jaworski kay Sy at mga katulad na negosyante na itigil na ang pani-ningil na malinaw na pagsasamantala sa kabutihan ng mga taong tumatangkilik ng kanilang produkto at serbisyo.

“This must be stopped immediately, clients should be treated and accorded due respect,” ani Jaworski.

Kasama si Jaworski sa grupo ng mga kongresistsa na nagsusulong ng consolidated bill na magdedeklara sa pangongolekta ng ilegal na parking fees bilang isang gawaing kriminal.

Hindi binili ni Jaworski ang katwiran na kailangang maningil ng parking fees na karaniwang nagkakahalaga ng P40 sa unang tatlong oras para bayaran naman ang security guards at janitorial services.

Bukod sa SM, nabatid sa mga ulat na kabilang rin sa naniningil ng parking fees ang Robinson’s, Araneta Center, ilang ospital at ibang establisyamento.

Magugunitang naging paksa si Sy ng mga serye ng kristisismo ng iba’t-ibang grupo, partikular ang sektor ng mga manggagawa dahil sa umano’y tangkang paluging pagbili nito sa 28.5 porsiyentong sapi ng Social Security System (SSS) at 12.4 porsiyentong sapi ng Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) sa Equitable PCI Bank sa ilalim ng ‘‘merger of equals’’ ng Banco de Oro, kontrolado ng una

Hasus... umeeksena lang yan.

IMO... gawin naman niyang medyo intelligent ang argument nila... hindi yung illegal ang maningil sa lahat ng mall.

kapag open parking / walang bubong... dapat libre.

pero kung closed parking / may bubong... at least ok na yun flat rate na sinisingil ng mga mall ngayon... hindi na tulad dati na per hour ang singil nila. kailangan din naman nila mag bayad ng mga security guard at parking attendants.

isa pa... kung may minimum na binili ka sa mall... dapat libre ung parking.

good point. afaik, ganito dati sa isang mall sa cubao.


and lastly, kapag ginawang libre ang parking sa megamall, baka lahat ng may kotseng nagtatrabaho malapit dito e dito na magpark. what do you think congressman? i wonder bakit di nya sinama shangrila mall. dahil mandaluyong na ito?

afaik, sakop din ng Mandaluyong ang Megamall....

Maganda ang proposal na kapag bumili ka sa store nila dapat libre ang parking.

Sa Shopwise Cubao ganun ang policy nila with a minimum purchase of P300, your first 3 hrs is free.

I agree alam ko sa SM Mall of Asia ganito ah kapag wala bubong free lang.Pati sa Makati Supermarket sa may ATC free lang ang parking kapag may binili ka sa Makati Supermarket..

tagal na wala sa spotlight si jawo ah hehe

[BlueBimmer]

ganyan sa Marco Polo hotel, pag kumain ka sa any resto sa loob bibigyan ka ng parking coupon para libre na parking.

You are usually given a choice, if you want to bring a car to park in a parkign structure, then you have to pay for the cost of building & operating such a place. Even open parking has it's cost of operating such as taxes, cost of maintenance of facilities (lights, guards, pavement, fencing, etc). Its just the reality of living in ANY city in the world.

[BlueBimmer]

SM davao doesnt charge any parking fees at all.

Maybe he gets free parking there...

Festival mall has free parking, be it covered or not. I recall alabang town center has some free parking spaces.

Dati naman sa SM Bicutan pag nag grocery 500p above free parking.

If festival mall can do it, why cant the other malls (with some exemptions)?

because some malls are trying to get customers to stay in their malls instead of going to the other more popular malls. Matter of supply and demand.

wala ng free parking ang atc. ang free na lang dun is yung space in front ng Outback/Max Restaurant in front of St. Jerome's Church and yung parking space sa may motortown, again facing St. Jerome.

they charge 15 pesos after 30 minutes so that 30 minutes below is free. except for the promenade area fronting Makati supermarket. You can have your ticket validated at Makati supermarket, if you happen to buy something there maski dun sa may nagtitinda ng taho dun. tapos park ka na whole day. hehehehe. other establishments there like The Spa or the shops at promenade do not validate parking tickets na.

in festival mall. the reason i think why they still don't charge for parking is that they have a large area allocated for that. tsaka mukhang minimal maintenance lang specially dun sa indoor parking nila (manipis ang flooring, may mga tumutulong tubo, etc....)

SM Southmall also, i think does not charge for its outdoor parking facilities, but it does for its indoor and covered parking. you pay 20 pesos as you enter the facilities.

i agree that it is ok to pay for parking specially if security is a concern. ano ba yung 20 pesos, kung mabubukas kotse gang ka naman. also, paying for parking is a better alternative if you are in makati, kesa ma tow ka...

[baludoy]

^^yep. festival mall does offer free parking spaces for all its clients and shoppers. although alabang town center has started charging parking fees for their patrons a year or two ago, the open parking spaces at the rear portion of the mall, the ones near the church and the car specialty shops are still free.

what i'd like to see though are safe and affordable parking spaces near mrt and lrt terminals so that motorists would be encouraged to use these mode of transportations. as it is, the nearest parking spaces available are usually those that are operated by mall owners too and we all know they tend to charge an arm and a leg

[ghosthunter]

If anyone should complain about parking, it should be those street pay parking (like the ones at Makati CBD) and other areas like in Greenhills.

Here he goes again...tahol lang ng tahol walang kagat!!! lapit na kasi election.
