[ MMDA RESOLUTION NO. 02-32, s. 2002, August 29, 2002 ]

DEPUTIZING OWNERS AND SECURITY GUARDS OF BUILDINGS TO DETER ILLEGAL VENDORS/PEDDLERS FROM SELLING/VENDING GOODS WITHIN THE BUILDING AND ITS IMMEDIATE PREMISES



WHEREAS, Metropolitan Manila is besieged with the problem of illegal vendors/peddlers not only along the sidewalks but also in front of buildings and commercial establishments;

WHEREAS, these vendors/peddlers do not only contribute to the problem of traffic but also generate wastes in their own place of work; 

WHEREAS, it is the duty of every citizen and residents to keep its environment or surrounding clean and wholesome in accordance with the provisions of P.D. 825; 

WHEREAS, there is an urgent need to prevent the proliferation of illegal vendors/peddlers to ease the traffic flow in Metro Manila and at the same time restore the use of sidewalks to pedestrians; 

WHEREAS, R.A. 7924 empowers MMDA to deputize non-government organizations/owners of buildings and duly licensed security guards to enforce traffic and solid waste management laws, rules and regulations; 

NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved as it is hereby resolved that the Metro Manila Council, pursuant to Section 6 of R.A. 7924, that the Council hereby deputizes the owners and security guards of buildings to deter illegal vendors/peddlers from selling/vending goods within the building and its immediate premises. Let copies of this resolution be furnished to the Local Government Units of Metropolitan Manila. 

This Resolution shall take effect upon approval.
