Metro Manila Council OKs hike in fines for illegal parking in NCR

The Metro Manila Council has approved increases in fines for illegally parked cars in the National Capital Region.

According to Oscar Oida's report on "24 Oras", the fines were increased to make the Metro Manila Development Authority's driver-only scheme on EDSA more effective with alternate routes freed of such obstructions.

The fine for attended illegally parked cars will be raised from P200 to P1,000.

For unattended illegally parked cars, the fine will be raised from P300 to P2,000 aside from the cost of towing. —NB, GMA News
