Friendship Sticker ba kamo?
Okay, Alabang Bulletin discovered something. Something that will probably get us into trouble with the Las Pinas City Hall. Hmm…but we’re here to deliver news and we have got news for you!
There are still Friendship Route (the 2007 version) stickers. Yes, in City Hall.
Don’t bother going to your friendly neighborhood “fixer” or “government employee” to get the stickers for some P500 to even P1,000 (man, shame on you!). Or to those kind-hearted residents who produce “surplus” stickers and sell them to you for P300. Remember, there’s an ordinance that calls for penalties for those caught having fake and/or laminated (c’mon! this is not fair!) stickers.
Oh, on a side note, we passed by T.S. Cruz Subdivision last night (after a very long time) and they now have a gate coming from BF Almanza. Talk about a double barrel of money making for the village. Now, you don’t just pay upon entering the Friendship Route from Las Pinas but you also have to pay when you want to exit (if the “receipt” of going in is not valid for going out)! Wise, wise, wise homeowner association officials.
Anyway, for those of you with new cars and without the Friendship stickers, you can get them at the Mayor’s Office at the Las Pinas City Hall. Yes, free of charge.
Just bring the following:
Original and photocopy of their car’s OR and CR
For registered owner’s whose address is outside LP:
original and photocopy of OR/CR, deed of sale, driver’s license, valid ID or proof of billing (power, telephone, water, etc.) showing holder’s address in Las Pinas
For mortgaged vehicles:
original and photocopy of OR, certification from the bank and valid ID showing holder’s address in Las Pinas
For company cars:
original and photocopy of OR, certification from the company and valid ID showing your Las Pinas address
It’s worth a shot! This news came from a VERY reliable source. Let’s just say my source was able to get a sticker recently.
For more information the residents can call the mayor’s office at 8717000 local 201 or 212.
Let’s not give those abusive guards and homeowner associations a chance to get money from us. Let’s put them out of their businesses.
Okay, now to wait for the Mayor’s Office’s call;p
yes, actually, i got a genuine FS from the office of the mayor four months ago….
how about the private motorcycle..do we need to get friendship sticker? so we can pass friendship route…or all motorcycle are free to pass friendship route…
hi.. this caught my attention…

uhmm especially the last line…actually resident po ako ng bf almanza… i think… ok lang naman talaga na maningil ang homeowners association ng fees dahil yung roads din namin yung nasisira (which are btw, paid by the homeowners themselves)… plus, yung security rin po kasi ng village yung affected. i, too was asked for payments, driver’s license kasi we need such directives to make our village safe. tumaas din kasi ang crime rate sa village dahil sa friendship route at padami ng padaming passers by.. 🙂 😛
ryan, maybe you can call the number in our article and ask:)
dominique, yeah, we actually don’t have an issue about the “tax” for entering the villages. question though: why don’t the other villages like philam and bf resort charge like pilar, moonwalk and t.s. cruz? are they “friendlier” villages?
also, if we see the actual results of the repaired roads or heightened security then that’s okay. and also maybe an open financial report on the actual taxes going to the proper programs inside the villages will be a big help:)
