Lazatin to relocate ambulant vendors

Posted on August 31, 2019 by Admin

ANGELES CITY – Mayor Carmelo ‘Pogi’ Lazatin Jr. is in urgent search for an area for displaced ambulant vendors, since some of them still defy the order to clear public sidewalks.

He bared this to the listeners of Lingkod Bayan, the Facebook live program of the City Information Office every Thursdays, 10am-11am, hosted by Deng Pangilinan and Rudy Simeon.

“Hindi po tayo tumitigil na hanapan sila ng pwesto. Tulad ng sa San Nicolas Public Market, kinakausap nating maigi ang mga vendors doon para mapagpatuloy nila ang kanilang kabuhayan,” the Mayor said.

Lazatin also explained that out of 400 displaced vendors in the said market, the available stalls inside are just around 170. At the Pampang Public Market, 70 merchants will be transferred.

With this, the Mayor appealed to the sellers to schedule their work day.

“Kapag M-W-F iba ang magtitinda, kapag naman T-TH-S ay iba ulit, para ma-accommodate natin ang lahat ng nagtitinda,” he furthered.

Meanwhile, he also asked the public to lengthen their patience and understanding about the clearing operations.

“Pero kailangan din po nating maintindihan na hindi overnight ang ginagawa natin. Nakikiusap po tayo sa lahat na i-clear ang mga kalsada natin, kinakausap po natin lahat at pinakikiusapan,” he mentioned.

The Mayor also shared that he ordered the barangay executives regarding the operations.

“Pinatawag natin lahat ng Kapitan, kinausap natin sila kasama ang DILG at binasa natin ang kautusan mula kay Pangulong Duterte,” he stressed.

After this, according to him, he met with City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), Gender and Development Office (GAD), City Engineering’s Office (CEO), Business Permit and Licensing Division (BPLD), Sanitation, Angeles City Police Office (ACPO), and Angeles City Traffic Development Office (ACTDO) to conduct the continuous road clearing.

More than this, he added, he also required the barangay council to initiate regular clean-up drive in their respective areas.#
