A Reddit user reports that windshield cleaners, a common nuisance in Manila, have begun operating at the intersection of Quezon Avenue and Agham Road in Quezon City, near the Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC). This practice can be a nuisance for motorists, as workers may not accept a refusal for their unsolicited service, and residents are concerned it could spread and worsen in Quezon City, mirroring the problem in Manila. The specific location mentioned is the intersection of Quezon Avenue and Agham Road near the Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC), where a resident has observed the cleaners about twice a week.
