After witnessing the towing of a car in front of Starbucks Leviste, I decided to search for any guidelines on towing in Makati (see my post here).
Anyway, found MMDA's guidelines on their site. Item 7.3 under the section discussing procedures clearly states "If the vehicle is unattended, the tow truck driver shall blow the truck's horn five (5) times twice in a row with a space of one minute in between. If the owner does not respond, the vehicle will be towed." Which means that these guys didn't follow procedure.
Not sure though if these rules are valid in Makati, though. Alam mo naman doon, iba sila.
Anyway, to see the full details of MMDA's towing guidelines, click this link.

well i found your blog because i am currently researching about towing rules, etc. because surprisingly, my car was towed this afternoon, in starbucks leviste! we used to park there regularly and even the guards says it's OK to park there. unfortunately this afternoon, i parked there just to buy a coffee when i realized that it was my car being towed.
no blowing of horns whatsoever. it was my first 'violation' and of course, i was too shocked i was a bit hysterical when i realized when it was my car :(
we suggest you complain to mapsa (who is responsible for all towing in makati city). their telephone number is 819-3270 to 71.
sana po pasamahan nyo ng taong marunong mag paliwanag ang mga towing official nyo... para malaman ng mga biktima nila kung ano ang gagawin para ma recover nila ang kanilang mga sasakyan...
sana kung mag totow kayo ng motor makipag usap kayo sa may-ari hindi yung basta basta na lang kayo aalis kapag naisakay nyo na sa truck nyo yung motor.. MGA GAGO!!
