As of October 27, a total of 138 vendors had already applied for permits, which are expected to be released today. Mayo added that more applicants are anticipated before the deadline.
He said flower vendors will be allowed to operate from October 29 to November 2, while food and candle vendors can sell from October 31 to November 2.
Meanwhile, the Bacolod Traffic and Transport Management Department (BTTMD) is set to issue a traffic advisory regarding rerouting and road closures from October 31 to November 2, particularly in the vicinity of Burgos Cemetery along Burgos Street./PN
