Truckers to file TRO vs. truck ban

Truck owners are vehemently opposing City Ordinance 8336 that bans trucks on Manila streets and have vowed to seek a temporary restraining order to pave the way for the total junking of the ordinance.

“We are asking the city government to recall the ordinance on truck ban because it will result in more loses to businessmen, both exporters and importers. Instead, they should allow heavy trucks 24-hours a day,” Abraham Rebao, director of Aduana Business Club, told The Manila Times.
