MMDA, outdoor advertisers agree on billboard rules
(philstar.com) | Updated November 29, 2012 - 5:03pm 

MANILA, Philippines - The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and outdoor advertisers have finally agreed on the regulation of advertising billboards in Metro Manila, particularly those found along the Metro’s major roads.

On Wednesday, the MMDA signed a memorandum of agreement with the Advertising Board of the Philippines (AdBoard), the Philippine Association of National Advertisers (PANA), the Association of Accredited Advertising Agencies of the Philippines (4As) and the Outdoor Advertising Association of the Philippines (OAAP).

Under the agreement, the construction of billboards and the acquisition of new billboard sites by members of OAAP will be suspended during a period of six months.

Only those OAAP members that have already pending applications and had substantially complied with the documentations demanded by government agencies concerned shall be allowed to put-up new billboards.

During the moratorium of six months, the MMDA will also refrain from dismantling the billboards of OAAP members.

All advertising tarpaulins which were earlier taken down and confiscated from billboard frames owned by OAAP members will also be released by the MMDA and will be re-installed during the same period.

Both the MMDA and the outdoor advertising groups have also agreed to draft the agreement’s implementing rules and regulations (IRR) within the moratorium period.

The parties also agreed to set up a permanent Metro Manila Outdoor Media Council (MMOMC) that will be responsible for the implementation of the IRR. The IRR will cover and define the allowable size, distance and structural integrity of billboards.

MMDA chairman Francis Tolentino said the agreement with the outdoor advertisers would not only regulate the use of billboards but will also prevent the operation of illegal billboard owners.

“In effect, this is a partnership. With the support of groups here present, colorum billboard operators will definitely be prevented,” he added.   - Mike Frialde

Going Out-Of-Home, Fighting for the Industry Turf

Going Out-Of-Home, Fighting for the Industry Turf

Out-of-home media, or simply OOH, is quickly becoming as mainstream as traditional media for its particular ability to follow 86 percent of urban dwellers who spend their time outside the home. Only the remaining 14 percent stay at home for 100 percent of the day.

The Outdoor Advertising Association of the Philippines (OAAP) shared these figures in discussing the potential of OOH at the 5^th PANA GMM May 31 at the Hard Rock Cafe. OAAP President Delia Magtoto and the organization’s chair for information and education committee Lloyd Tronco see “unlimited possibilities with going outdoor”, when “every time could be primetime”.

Ferdie Frejas, managing director of GoodThinking Research Inc, joined the talk to describe the different types of OOH and the impressions they make on viewers: Well-liked placements are point-of-purchase media, indoor TV, outdoor TV/digital billboards and light boxes. Human ads, transit media, billboards and indoor posters/banners garner average liking. The least liked are roving billboards, building wraps, street posters/banners and flyers/leaflets/brochures.

Found in schools, malls, offices, on the road and while in transit, the places where we encounter OOH are as varied as the forms in which they come. They have grown so prevalent that they could reach the people at times that TV, radio or print could not.

Every time could really be primetime with OOH, but Tronco says, “In our research, very clearly, traditional media adds brand credibility. It still tells consumers that if you’re a good brand, you have to have a TV campaign. That’s the role of traditional media--it confirms your brand credibility. And the role of out-of-home media is actually to remind people. One-third actually buy when they see out-of-home media.”

The value of utilizing OOH fuels the growth of the outdoor advertising industry--from 7 percent in 2004, steadily increasing to 10.9 percent in 2011. So the industry, highly visible by its nature, tends to invite outside scrutiny, especially in the wake of its current boom; it faces regulatory issues with the Department of Public Works and Highways, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority and local government units.

“Government intervention continuously persists, as do major obstacles in the out-of-home industry,” Magtoto says.

But she assures advertisers that OAAP is maximizing legal channels “in an effort to protect the business and fight for property and industry rights”. With stakeholders ranging from outdoor media to the advertisers, the OAAP must champion the rising industry to keep the information flowing and the momentum going.

OOH enhances the integrated marketing mix as it reaches far and wide going to where the people are. Maybe it’s time to give it a try, because if you want to stand out, you need to go out of home.
