Decision on trucking fees โshows abuse of discretion’
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — San Simon Mayor Leonora Wong expressed disappointment over the speedy decision of the lower court over the controversial fees collected from trucks passing by her town.
“It showed abuse of discretion,” Wong said in an interview over the weekend.
The decision, issued by Judge Lucina Alpez-Dayaoan of the Regional Trial Court branch 54 in Macabebe town, prohibits the further collection of permit fee of P300 per unit per day from truckers and haulers entering and going out of San Simon’s territorial jurisdiction.
In her decision, Dayaoan said the permit fee is against Section 133 of the Local Government Code, which prohibits the collection of fees from any vehicles passing by a town.
The case was filed by SKK Steel Corporation on October 2010. The company particularly assailed Article K, Section 3K.01 and Article U, Sections 3U.01 and 3U.02 of San Simon’s Revised Revenue Code of 2008.
Albert Yu, president of SKK, said the collection fee made them suffer losses and burden of costs.
However, Mayor Wong clarified that the fee is only collected from trucks which pass by and conduct business in her town.
“The fee is not collected from trucks merely passing by the town,” Wong said.
She said the court’s decision did not undergo a due process.
“On 2010, temporary restraining orders filed by SKK against the ordinance were denied. The company was able to present their side including witnesses. After that, the decision was made without hearing our side,” Wong said.
The mayor said her camp will file a motion for reconsideration against the decision.

With new golf courses springing up in and around Clark Philippines and an ever-increasing patronage by tourists from neighboring South Korea, Clark Freeport is short on hotel accommodation.
Even with the addition of 27 holes in 2009 and 2010, there is an acute shortage golf tee times for at least 5-6 months each year. Local players compete with frustrated (golf) tourists from Korea and China for tee times. Unfortunately Clark Philippines doesnโt have the luxury of vast tracts of land suitable for this type of development.
Mimosa offers 36 holes of championship golf, visitors can pay and play, busy during the weekends but not that difficult to get on or join up with a group to form a 4-ball. The new FAKCC offers 27 holes of world-class golf.
