No wonder, the World City #5 of Yrong-Yrong is always pestered by traffic gridlocks because its TMTRO (Traffic Mismanagement and Transport Regulatory Office) is stocked by mindless enforcers.
Corners of busy junctions like the one in photo -- Valeria-Delgado Street -- are supposed to be no-park zones for the obvious reason that this create obstructions for vehicles making turns.

On the other hand, the last two photos, show motorbikes parked property, out of the road, on the designated space below the stairs of the overpass. These vehicles are owned by law-abiding citizens, incidentally, non-TMTRO members.
I am Yrong-Yrong, fraud to be Filipino!
