Metro Manila cities set P5,000-fine for littering
Metro Manila mayors have agreed to impose a maximum fine of P5,000 for illegal garbage dumping in public places across the capital region.
The Metro Manila Council (MMC) passed a resolution mandating this fine, which will be implemented through ordinances by each city mayor.
San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora, the MMC president, announced the decision following a meeting at the MMDA office.
Zamora had previously advocated for stricter penalties due to the escalating waste management issues in Metro Manila.
Pateros municipality is an exception to the P5,000 fine, with a set penalty of P2,500 within their area.
