The House Committee on Trade has taken steps to stop the exploitation of consumers owning motor vehicles as it strongly endorsed the immediate passage of a bill that will make car park operators liable for overcharging and for failing to secure parked cars.
Now both deceased, Senators Rene Cayetano and Tessie Aquino-Oreta were the original authors of car park regulation bills during their stint as senator and Malabon-Navotas congresswoman, respectively. The bill encourages all business establishments, including hospitals, malls, hotels, restaurants and others, to offer their parking spaces free of charge to customers patronizing their products and services.
For independent parking enterprises, standard fees to be charged will be P30 for first three hours and P20 for each succeeding hour thereafter.The bill also provides that all covered establishments must provide and maintain security in their parking lots and that the business owners shall be held liable for damages on the vehicle, theft and robbery against the motorists.
