WHEREAS, considering the present minimal amount of service/towing fee being implemented by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) many operators/ drivers wantonly disregard existing laws on stalled and illegally parked motor vehicles thereby contributing to the vehicular traffic problem along Metro Manila ™s thoroughfares;

WHEREAS, the present service/towing fee for illegally parked and stalled vehicles is no longer sufficient to address the financial requirement for the improvement/upgrading of road furniture and to cover the administrative costs in implementing traffic improvement measures and schemes, more particularly, towing services;

WHEREAS, the Metro Manila Council recognized the need to impose a standard service/towing fee for illegally parked and stalled vehicles to deter drivers/operators from violating existing laws on illegal parking and stalled vehicles, to restore/improve orderliness and safety on the roads for the benefit and welfare of the motorists and commuters, and to address the financial requirement of the administrative cost involved in towing and impounding operations.

NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved as it is hereby resolved, pursuant to Section 6 of Republic Act No. 7924, that the Council hereby imposes a standard service/towing fee for illegally parked and stalled vehicles and/or attachments thereof in any public road, street and thoroughfare within Metropolitan Manila.

RESOLVED FURTHER, that any operator/owner of a motor vehicle whether natural or juridical, who shall illegally park or stall his vehicle on any public road, street or thoroughfare within Metropolitan Manila shall pay a standard service/towing fee to government or private entities engaged in towing operation, to wit:
