MORE than 100 vendors from Libertad Public Market and downtown area in Bacolod City, who were affected by the road clearing operation, sought the assistance of the City Government to give them an alternative solution so they can continue their livelihood.
Executive Assistant Ernie Pineda, cluster head on markets, said Monday, February 15, that he will submit a proposal to the City Mayor's Office to allow the affected vendors from Libertad Public Market to display their products from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. to midnight for the vendors at the downtown areas.
"We are now implementing the road clearing operation so we cannot allow them to sell on streets and we will find an alternative solution, but it will depend on the opinion of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)," he said.
