PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday ordered the Metro Manila Council (MMC) to halt the implementation of heightened fines for illegal parking.
Marcos dismissed MMC’s proposal to raise fines for illegal parking from ₱1,000 to ₱4,000, as outlined in Joint Traffic Circular No. 01.
“Para patuloy ang magandang serbisyo ng ating pamahalaan ay hindi ko pinayagan ang Joint Traffic Circular No. 01 ng Metro Manila Council tungkol sa probisyon na tataasan ang multa para sa mga illegal parking mula sa isang libong piso na hanggang apat na libong piso maiiwan na sa isang libong piso lamang,” he said.
The President said he believes that Filipinos are inherently disciplined, so it is important to focus on fostering discipline rather than imposing harsher penalties. (GP)
