00:00 Instead of people, cars are driving on the sidewalks of Makati because of illegal parking.
00:07 Authorities arrested them. Ian Cruz is on the case.
00:10 Just this morning, some motorists were tagged by the Public Safety Department
00:20 on Chinoroses Avenue in Makati.
00:23 Their reasons for parking on the sidewalks that should be used by people are different.
00:28 You should remove that because it's a sidewalk.
00:30 They don't have parking.
00:33 We are talking to the enforcer.
00:36 It's hard because there's no parking.
00:39 It's hard to park on the street.
00:42 Six private cars were tagged for traffic violation.
00:47 When it came to the afternoon, there were more parked cars near a private school.
00:52 Students are waiting for their return so Chinoroses is patting them on the shoulder.
00:58 There's a point where there's a traffic jam and traffic doesn't move anymore when there are cars that don't give way.
01:05 On the left and right, there are cars parked on Chinoroses Avenue when students return.
01:11 What's sad is that there are cars, like the one behind us, that don't have a driver and are leaving their cars.
01:18 They were parked side by side in the morning and afternoon.
01:22 There's double parking.
01:24 The guards don't come and there's no traffic here.
01:26 I think we will continue our coordination with the school.
01:31 We will talk to them to have a scheme to let the students enter.
01:38 There's a big shortage of cars that are waiting and staying on the sidewalks.
01:46 According to Barangay Magallanes, there's no shortage of cars in the area.
01:53 Like the one near the boundary of Taguig where there are a lot of parked cars and there are also people selling.
02:00 They will just park until they are deputized by the city of Makati to catch the traffic violation.
02:07 They are parking again but if we are not there, they will return.
02:12 So, this case is like a heart and soul.
02:16 If we are there, they will leave and if we are not there, they will return.
02:21 GMI Integrated News is still trying to get the city hall of Makati.
02:26 In Chinoroses Extension, which is now surrounded by Taguig, there are also parked cars.
02:31 According to GMI Integrated News in Barangay Fort Bonifacio,
02:34 if the traffic is heavy and the traffic is tight,
02:38 the Taguig Traffic Management Office will come to operate the MMDA
02:44 and the illegal parking on Chinoroses Avenue.
02:48 The remedial here is a higher fine for those who are violating the law.
02:54 We have passed a resolution increasing the penalty.
02:59 Now, regardless if the vehicle is attended or not, the penalty is already P4,000.
03:06 The only difference is if it is unattended, we will tow it.
03:11 Hopefully, it will be a deterrent to illegal parking.
03:15 For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz, Nakatutok 24 Horas.
03:20 IAN CRUZ IS A DETERRENT TO ILLEGAL PARKING ON CHINOROSES AVENUE.
03:24 HE IS A DETERRENT TO ILLEGAL PARKING ON CHINOROSES AVENUE.
03:28 HE IS A DETERRENT TO ILLEGAL PARKING ON CHINOROSES AVENUE.
