City Administrator John Orola said they are planning to remove several illegal vendors operating at the three major public markets in Bacolod City. Orola explained the illegal vendors along Central Market, Burgos Public Market, and Libertad Public Market must be removed since they could pose as a traffic, environment, and safety hazard to the public. “They have been appealing to us to let them stay, however, we cannot allow them to return anymore as long as they are illegal vendors,” Orola said. “We will also see to it that those who have existing contracts will be reviewed and, if they are breaking regulations, we will exercise our right to remove them as well.” The city administrator also said they are now doing several consultations with Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran and Bacolod Traffic Authority Office (BTAO) Head Armando Tubongbanua to carry out clearing operations. He said the presence of the illegal vendors is one of the root causes of last week’s floods and traffic problems. Orola added, they are planning to remove several illegal structures built beside river banks, citing these are not only a hazard but they also block the flow of flood waters./WDJ Watchmen Daily Journal By Dominique Gabriel G.
