‘Di sayang bayad! Lawmaker victimized by ‘basag kotse’ backs regulation of parking spaces
By Billy Begas
House Assistant Majority Leader and ACT-CIS Rep. Rowena Niña Taduran has thrown her full support for the passage of a measure that will not only regulate fees in parking areas but also ensure the safety of those who park in paid spaces.
Taduran said it is highly unfair for customers who pay for parking but are not assured of the safety of their vehicles, “just as if they had parked on the streets”.
“Para kang umupa ng hotel room para sa kotse mo, pero walang pananagutan ang may-ari ng parking kung may mangyari sa sasakyan mo,” Taduran said.
Taduran fell victim to basag-kotse while her vehicle was parked in a mall in January last year.
“For the currently huge fees we pay for parking, there should be enough security personnel to man the area and CCTVs for added security. Kasama ‘yan sa obligasyon ng mga nagpapaupa ng parking spaces. Hindi ka dapat kakaba-kaba sa pag-park ng sasakyan mo kung nagbabayad ka naman,” Taduran added.
The proposed Parking Operations and Fees Regulation authored by Deputy Speaker and Valenzuela Rep. Wes Gatchalian was approved by the House of Representatives on second reading last Wednesday.
