Whenever I remember the parking fee I had to pay yesterday, I just can’t stop my blood from boiling. Seven hundred plus pesos for a 4-day stay from Wednesday to Saturday – bloody hell!

Yes, it’s true you don’t get club flyers on your windshield, nor bird poops on your roof, but it’s also not a 5-star hotel parking space. The whole place is a 3-layer metal construction – the one that makes grinding noises whenever a car rolls on the top layer. Heck, it doesn’t even give your car enough shade from rain.  Yet, they have the balls to charge you 150 bloody pesos per overnight stay… after being confined in the hospital in the first place.

When other hospitals and establishments wave parking fees after showing them the receipts or proofs of you being a patron of the establishment, the one in Cardinal Santos does the opposite. This one is just a heartless money-churning business preying on those who are sick, no less. Why? Because the sicker you are, the longer you stay in the hospital. And if you have a car, then the longer your car stays in the parking area, hence the bigger your parking fee gets.

I just hope that those who were responsible for the idea of that parking fiasco don’t experience bad karma for all their crappy ideas.
