+ February 18, 2021 BACOLOD City Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran expressed his support on the proposal of Executive Assistant Ernie Pineda to implement a night bazaar to provide an avenue for displaced market vendors in the city.
Familiaran on Thursday, February 18, 2021, said in previous months, he already reminded Pineda to look for a place to accommodate displaced market vendors in various areas in the city.
“We already planned this so that our vendors can continue their livelihood because if they will display their products beside the roads or at the downtown area, they will also be arrested since it s illegal,” he said.
