As planned during People's Day held in Barangay Aguit-itan, Mayor Reynaldo Uy together with the City Officials, Department Managers and Assistant Department Managers visited the Calbayog Public Market today (September 13, 2010).
In a way, the visit was aimed at checking the condition of the place and to answer some issues regarding market stall ownership and the non-compliance of some stall holders and vendors to the policies set by the City Economic Enterprise Development and Management Office (EEDMO). It should be noted that the City Government is set to continue the construction of the Public Market and Land Transport Terminal in Barangay Bagacay. The EEDMO is currently finishing the terms as to how stalls at the new public market will be made available to the market vendors / local businessmen.
The transfer of the stall holders will begin immediately after the completion of the new public market. As Mayor Uy would announce during the presscon this afternoon, the present public market will give way to the mid-size mall to be constructed by the Gaisano group.
Aside from greeting the vendors, Mayor Uy saw for himself this: dirty water being fetched from the Calbayog river and the same is being used by some vendors to wash the fish and other products being sold in the market. This has long been a practice of some hard-headed vendors (as what EEDMO Chief Nida Beso would call them). Upon seeing this, Mayor Uy called the attention of the concerned vendors who promised to stop the practice.

The attention of this group was also called. They were cracking ice on the dirty market floor.
