00:00Now, a lot of mall workers are expected to pass an ordinance to the local government in Metro Manila
00:09against reserving parking slots.
00:13The schedule of the malls has also changed so that there will be less traffic, especially if it's a closing.
00:19Joseph Moro was on the news.
00:21This is a viral video where a woman blocked a vacant parking slot in Las Pinas last November.
00:32This was not liked by some who also want to park.
00:35But the woman insisted on reserving parking until she was pushed to leave.
00:43Scenes like this will shock you.
00:46The Metro Manila Council will issue an ordinance to prohibit and punish those who reserve parking slots.
00:53We want to come up with a standard ordinance so that it's the same for everyone and to avoid confusion.
01:02What the MMDA is concerned about is the public's reaction in opposing those who reserve parking slots.
01:09It means that they're approving the violence so that the people who reserve can leave.
01:17Maybe that's the mindset of the people.
01:21It can really reach the patients.
01:23What will happen to the malls?
01:25We will coordinate with the owners of the malls and the private parking
01:31so that it can be institutionalized and prohibited.
01:34According to the MMDA, there are chances that those who reserve parking will go home due to a bigger disgrace.
01:39The ordinance will be issued before Christmas.
01:42Especially when the Christmas rush is expected.
01:45Parking is a headache.
01:47As for the schedules of malls this Christmas,
01:50the malls will open from Monday, November 18 at 11am instead of 10am
01:56to reduce traffic.
01:58The malls' closing schedules will be different.
02:01We want the malls to close later
02:04so that those who are passing traffic can stay.
02:08They can do last-minute shopping, groceries, etc.
02:11Along with the extended closing hours of the malls,
02:14the MMDA also asked the Department of Transportation
02:17to extend the train schedules for the Christmas rush.
02:21For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong,
02:2324 hours have been set.
