AN ACT REGULATING THE PLACEMENT AND CONTENT OF BILLBOARDS 
INCLUDING THEIR SUPPORT STRUCTURES
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Section 9, Article 2 of the 1987 Constitution provides that: "The State shall 
promote a ju st and dynamic social order that will ensure the prosperity and 
independence o f the nation and free the people from poverty through policies that 
provide xxx an improved quality o f life for a//. "The growing number and sizes of the 
billboards in EDSA and practically along every major metropolitan thoroughfare with 
high vehicular and pedestrian traffic has become a serious concern -  for the life and 
limb of commuters and pedestrians and the dizzying contents of some billboards that 
distract commuters.
Apparently, the advertisers believe that the larger and more overwhelming the 
size of the billboard, the better it would be for promoting their products. While that may 
benefit the advertisers, the billboards foisted on the hapless commuters actually 
degrade the quality of the streetscape experience. The road-right-of-way (RROW, 
commonly termed the "street") is public domain and for the general public to use, enjoy 
and experience. Instead, parts of the RROW/street have become claustrophobic, unsafe


and unkempt mainly due to the overwhelming presence of billboards and their steel 
support structures. The streetscape has become one large, convoluted and cluttered 
canvass of oftentimes unwanted visual information. Non-mobile billboards now 
contribute to a new kind of pollution -  one that is visual, without even mentioning some 
moral questions engendered by some
There is a definite need to restore order in our streets and in our properties and 
we can start by correcting mistakes spawned by the liberal interpretations on the intent 
of laws on buildings and structures as these apply to billboards.
