CITOM: Vehicle Clamping, Towing, Overnight Parking

[yoncha]

---

nindot unta kung ipa contrata sad ang pagdakop sa mga erring jeepney drivers, taxi drivers, private vehicle owners, ug ila pud ipacontrata palimpyo sa sidewalk to get rid of sidewalk vendors... kay sidewalk man kaha, dili man pud na sidevending. hehehehe. abtik man gud ang contractor to do CITOM's job.

@ VANGUARD ... I dont think the CITY ORDINCANCES on TRAFFIC REGULATION affects issues on PRIVATE PROPERTIES . The only PRIVATE PROEPRTY OWNERS can do is to call a TOW company which is a PRIVATE FIRM and will never be CITOM contracted TOW COMPANIES .

We don't hear anything from these private owners regarding the towing of vehicles in their areas so it would be safe to say that what these towing companies and CITOM is doing is "right". The owners themselves might have asked and given the permission to put the sign on their properties. These private owners sees it on their advantage and not detrimental on their side which is why the "Clamping/Tow away zone" sign is placed or not removed. So everybody should learn the lesson never to park near these signs.

Fund raising gyud ni.

O, sayop gyud nang mu parking ka dira nga kabalo naka nga TOW AWAY zone na cya. naa ko car and motor pero wala pako sukad nadakpan og parking violation. ako mismo, maglagot kog maka kita kog motor nga ni park sa side walk kay para unta na sa mga tao.

PERO, ang sayop, dli ipugos og bitbit ang motor/auto kung naa na dira ang tag iya. citation ticket na (NO PARKING) ba kaha. kung pugsun gyud og dala, klaro na kaayo nga kwarta ang nag dagan sa huna huna sa mga hinampak.

I can agree on this considering if I am also an owner of such establishment , I will just say samok ra na mga motorista unya sa tugkaran pa gyud nako ga park . Though the for the part of the GOVERNMENT ENFORCERS, their practice is considered IGNORANCE of the LAW . They can even be held liable to any damages , loss of time , etc to a particular motorist who NEVER violate such TRAFFIC LAW .

By saying dili mo park near SIGNS is not an excuse either for the ENFORCERS to know what are their JURISDICTIONS .

maayo lagi unta ug dakpon tanan bro.. dili mamili.. ug dili mag pa dala kung dagko nga tae..

OT: ako bitaw na dakpan man ko b4 sa checkpoint, gikuha na ako motor para impound, maayo nalang naa ko kaila nga na tawgan, nya ni ad2 pag ka hibaw sa citom nga kaila mi gi hatag ang yawe balik sa ko a. but i know dli ko pirme maka depend ato nga tao so diha lang nato makita ba nga unfair kau sa uban nga gi na pili ang gina dakop.

whether u vehemently think mamili cla ug sakyanan para ma tow or clamp or not, that is not an excuse. usahay pataka lng man gud ug park ning motor, usahay mo singit pa gyud ug mobabag in between 2 parked cars so ang resulta, maglisod na nuon ug gawas ang awto. cge nko ka suway sa akong awto ani sa downtown, pwera gaba lng...usahay ako nlng gud ang mosibog sa motor nga dili ako.

so kung napili-an ka nla, aw sorry nlng. dili na mosalir ang rason nga "cla lage wa man dakpa?"...such a lame excuse...quite frankly, humana ko ana, pero wa gihapon koy nahims...

TRIVIA: the number of fines collected from July to Aug this year has dropped compared to the same 2 months last year. Meaning, mas disiplinado na karon ang mga drivers. (source: sun.star 9/21/0

sa downtown area, strikto gyud ang LTO kung ang motor imo ra i-park sa sidewalk. mao btaw "sidewalk" ang tawag ana, dili "sidemotor". Hasta gani parking lanes, naa nay designation kung asa ang para motor ug para awto. bahin sa mga awto, kung wa ka sa lugar ni park, aw clampingan or ma-towing gyud na...i even saw a government car, and if my memory serves me right, a tourist bus being clamped in front of Cebu City Hall (kad2 wapa sirad-i ang area between front of city hall and magellan's cross)

ang balaud sa syudad regarding traffic, lahi sa probinsya...

Ignorance of the law excuses no one...

and do u even know how ur money as penalty goes? inig bayad nimo bro, naa nay recibo. unya kanang mga na colekta sa contractor, Jadewell cguro toh, ilaha pud i-remit sa LTO coffers with the corresponding receipt copies.

so unsaon man pag fund-raising ana? so murag gapataka ra ta ug storya anang xmas party ninyo pasabot...

ang inyo lng cguro nakit-an, nagkadaghan ang gipang tow karon panahona. op kors, ky gipa strikto naman na sa LTO. op kors, duol na ang disyembre so mas daghan ang mangad2 sa syudad. daghan taga probinsya nga wa gani alamag sa rules & regulations sa road sa syudad. daghan ang manganhi gkan sa laing lugar. daghan OFWs manguli, ug uban pa. samot pa inig Sinulog...

"Ignorance of the law excuses no one..."

While talking about ignorance.... LTO is not into towing of motorcycles on sidewalks.. LTO does not implement City Ordinances... LTO is way above CO 801... LTO does not have any agreement with ROAD WARRIOR. LTO does not receive a single cent from Road Warrior....Please do not confuse LTO and CITOM, both different entities... Their scope and enforcement powers are different.. Please think about this before you say ignorance of the law again... And if you actually believe there is no special treatment that is going on around the city..... We have been "informally" cautioned from doing to this to that and that to this, as they say "just use your common sense" when dealing with some particular people.....

Kaning gibuhat sa Road Warrior, bayad rani sa utang sa atong mayor (This is a common knowledge and talk among enforcers and agents, this is not just an insinuation on my part).... Let us not forget that his term ends on 2010, Mike Rama as far as we know, is not a fan of Road Warrior... VM Mike even wants the City to have its own towing department so that the city can earn.... The City only gets a measly sum from Road Warrior operations, if the City has its own, nana untay makatabang ug bayad para sa utang sa SRP...In my years of deputation, I have never never asked the services of ROAD WARRIOR... Ngano man, para ma dato ug samot ang insik??

My advice to fellow iSTORYANs is that if you know somebody or is somebody, become a deputized agent of LTO or CITOM then you do not have to worry about towing...As per "their" language.. Walay unay.... Ask yourself, how come many of the Deputized agents of LTO belong to the affluent or Fil-Chinese Community?

Lastly, ROAD WARRIOR personnel cannot, I repeat cannot tow vehicles if NO CITOM personnel accompanies them... Road Warrior does not have enforcement powers... If your vehicle is towed and there is no CITOM personnel in sight, demand that your vehicle be taken down... Ayaw mo pada anang alibi nila na "padulong na ang CITOM.. or contracted mi".. What they are doing is tantamount to carnapping...

Just to be safe, people should never park in areas where there is a "Clamping/Tow Away Zone" sign whether it's a public or private area to avoid any further complications.

ang ako lang ani, follow lang ta kung asa puede mo park.
in case lang gyud kay usahay naa man gyud emergency na kinahanglan mo park kadyot, unsaon man gyud pag deal aning towing contractors?
for the istoryans who are knowledgeable on legal matters regarding traffic violations, please share your opinions on our rights and how do we deal with these contractors? should we just allow them to clamp or tow our vehicles in our presence or we can just be given citation tickets?
