BACOLOD City – Councilor Bartolome Orola wants three public markets to strictly observe “sectioning.”
The chairman of the Sangguniang Panlungsod committee on markets and slaughterhouse requested Mayor Evelio Leonardia to help enforce the ordinance that provides for market sectioning.
The Burgos, Central and Libertad public markets do not follow the proper sectioning of goods, Orola has observed.
“We need to remedy this problem,” the councilor said.
Market sections must be based on the kind of merchandise, according to City Ordinance No. 160 series of 1996, or the Market Code of Bacolod City.
Under the ordinance, market sections should be “fish, meat, dry goods, groceries, rice and corn, vegetables and fruits, eatery, poultry products, flower shops, cold storage, service station, and miscellaneous.”
Proper market sectioning links producers to consumers better, Orola said./PN
