The MMDA says the 17 LGUs are being pushed to file ordinances
It’s not just the Internet and sound motorists getting fed up with all those people going viral on social media for standing in parking slots to reserve them—the government is now also making moves against this.
Recently, the Mindful Parking Act was filed in Congress, which essentially penalizes this type of behavior. But it doesn’t end there, as the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority and Metro Manila Council are also looking to create new legislation similar to that.
The MMDA’s statement reads: “Ang ordinansa ang magtatakda ng pagbabawal at pagpaparusa sa ‘human reservation’ sa mga parking space sa Metro Manila. Makikipag-ugnayan din ang ahensiya sa mga may-ari ng mga malls at mga private parking para mabigyang solusyon ang dumaraming insidente ng pag-reserve ng parking slot na kadalasa’y nauuwi sa alitan at gulo.”
While it’s sad that we’ve come to this, we’re glad that authorities are now stepping in to punish unacceptable behavior like this. Or you could also flip that sentence if you feel more frustrated than you are relieved, you do you. At the end of the day, this has to stop, and if legislation is needed to achieve that, then so be it.
