Senator Joel Villanueva filed Senate Bill 1165, otherwise known as the "No Garage, No Car Act of 2016. It proposes that anyone who intends to acquire a motor vehicle should first be able to present proof that they have "permanent parking space or facility" to store it.
The spot must be leased or procured by the vehicle owner and he/she will have to present a notary public to the Land Transportation Office (LTO) as a pre-requisite for registration.
The bill hopes to alleviate the worsening traffic situation in cities like Metro Manila, Baguio City, Cebu City, Olongapo City and Davao City.
The bill also authorizes the LTO, MMDA and LGU to conduct periodic ocular inspections of alleys, streets and thoroughfares and remove illegally parked vehicles.
Anyone found to be making "untrue claims" for the sake of complying with the requirement will have their vehicle registration revoked, be suspended from registering for a period of three years, and face a P50,000 fine for each provision of the act violated.
Likewise, the LTO officer and employee who allows such vehicles to be registered without or with fake documents will be suspended for 3 months without pay.
