                    [Summary] => Sa kabila ng pahayag ng karamihan sa Metro Mayor na nakahanda silang magwelga upang suportahan ang karapatan ng mga iskwater sa kanilang lugar para makapagparehistro sa darating na halalan at makaboto ay taliwas naman ang pananaw dito nina Muntinlupa at Taguig City Mayors na sina Sigfried Tinga at Jaime Fresnedi.


Naniniwala ang dalawang alkalde na isang pamamaraan lamang ng Comelec ang pagbabawal sa mga bagong saltang squatters sa kalunsuran na makapagparehistro upang higit na mapagtagumpayan ang screening ng mga magsisiboto sa isang taon.

Ito ang naging paninindigan ni Justice  Secretary Simeon Datumanong sa kabila ng naging hatol ng Metro Mayor’s Council na ang lokal na pamahalaan na ang may karapatan sa traffic control sa kanilang mga nasasakupan.


Sinabi ni Datumanong na alinsunod sa MMDA Charter, nasa kapangyarihan ng nasabing ahensiya ang pamamahala sa batas trapiko, maging ang pag-iisyu ng mga traffic citation receipts (TCR).
