MANILA, Philippines — A lawmaker has filed a bill that seeks to regulate the
imposition of parking fees by owners of malls, hospitals, schools and other
establishments.
Surigao del Norte Rep. Robert “Ace” Barbers filed House Bill No. 506, or the
proposed Parking Fees Regulation Act, that will set standard rates in various
establishments for all motor vehicles and penalize violators.

According to Barbers, the measure seeks to address the “excessive and unreasonable”
parking fees imposed by owners and operators of commercial spaces, including
shopping malls, hospitals, schools and hotels.
For establishments which will be allowed to impose parking fees, they will be subject
to a number of conditions, such as a maximum charge of P100 for eight hours and P10
for each succeeding hour.

Those that collect fees for overnight parking shall be allowed to charge a “reasonable
amount” not exceeding P200 per vehicle, the bill said.
Customers who will use parking spaces for not more than 30 minutes shall not be
charged a parking fee, while shopping malls, restaurants, stores and similar
establishments will waive the fees if a customer presents a validated proof of purchase
or transaction of at least P500, according to the bill.
Visitors of hospitals and their patients will not be charged parking fees if they show
proof of “legitimate transaction.”
