WATCH: Tension-filled first day of Manila truck ban enforcement

Tension marred the first day of the enforcement of the extended truck ban in the city of Manila on Monday. A confrontation between truck drivers and Manila policemen erupted after the latter tried to tow several trucks in front of the Moriones Gate of the Manila North Harbor. Some drivers and officials trucker groups were also accosted. The truckers parked their vehicle in front of the port to protest Manila City Ordinance 8336, which bans the entry of trucks with a gross weight of 4,500 kilograms in the city from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., except on Sundays and holidays. The city government later tweaked the ordinance, giving truckers a window period of five hours, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. - ANC Headstart, 24 February 2014
