BACOLOD City – Eight vendors occupying the sidewalks in Libertad Market’s south wing area in this city were given until today, Sept. 5, to vacate and clear the area.
The local market committee (LMC) served the final notice to vacate dated Sept. 2.

Strict regulations will be implemented outside the designated areas of the night market to avoid traffic congestion./PN
