BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

Dumaguete City legal officer Neil Ray Lagahit yesterday advised members of Motor-Piston to file a petition to amend Ordinance Number 60 to address what they claimed to be an "excessive and immoral" permit, and franchise fees among pedicab drivers and operators.

The Kabataan Party List groups joined the Kilusang Mayo Uno-Motor Piston in front of City Hall Wednesday to express their disappointment with the Sangguniang Panlungsod, for the increase in the fees.

Members of Anak Bayan and Anak Pawis Party lists also participated in a lightning rally in front of the City Hall, to oppose the ordinance.
