SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

researcher’s recommendation

Summary of findings

1. Benefits of the “Tapat ko, Linis ko” ordinance with regards to the beautification

of the City of Manila

The environment is not an issue, it is a “value.” Industrialized societies often

perceived the environment as a free good an expendable, renewable resource. The worst

offenders considered the environment a resource with no value in itself. As the capital

city the Make-over may bring back the genuine trust of other foreign country in putting

investments in the growing city, thus the beautification contributes to give people in

society a healthy and clean city.

2. House Bill No. 4978 when will be a help in the present issues concerning the

Street-Vendors

The House Bill regulation of sidewalk vending means to put a stop to the frequent

commotion between the vendors and law enforcement officers including members of the
Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) about the issues concerning the

cleanliness and disturbance to traffic congestion of the Street Vendors in many area in

the city.

3. Ordinance No. 8572 in relation to the Street-Vendors and the City

Amid the harsh policies, street vendors devise ways to cope with poverty and their

livelihood. This helps the Street Vendors be always reminded the importance of

maintaning the cleanliness of the city despite the everyday transaction between business

and customers within the city.

The Ordinance No. 8572 can be gain said not a harsh ordinance as this promote a

continuous improvement for the cleanliness of the city, in relation to the street vendors

this only requires the said vendors to observe and maintain proper waste disposal and

environmental cleanliness.

Conclusions

Based on the findings, the proponent concludes the following:

1. City Ordinance No. 8572 and its valid implementation for the Make-over of the

Capital City.

As provided in Sec 4 (2), Article VIII of the 1987 Philippine Constitution,

 “All cases involving the constitutionality of a treaty, international or executive

agreement, or law, which shall be heard by the Supreme Court en banc, and all other

cases which under the rules of court are required to be heard en banc, including

those involving the constitutionality, application, or operation of presidential decrees,

proclamations, orders, instructions, ordinances, and other regulations, shall be

decided with the concurrence of a majority of the members who actually took part in

the deliberations on the issued in the case and voted thereon.”

In urban planning decisions, the needs of street vendors and their customers are

often dismissed as irrelevant to a modern city's growth. Street vendors are often

evicted by force when their traditional vending sites overlap with sites for proposed

development.
