Those caught crossing major thoroughfares without using footbridges or pedestrian lanes are set to pay a higher price for their folly.
“The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has announced the imposition of higher fines for those caught jaywalking in Metro Manila from the previous amount of PHP200 to PHP500,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.
Jaywalkers also have the option of rendering three hours of community service.
The Metro Manila Council approved stricter penalties.
