THE 20th Davao City Council approved on Friday, March 22, 2024, the resolution allowing vendors from the variety section to temporarily sell goods under the vegetable and fruit section until the completion of the Agdao Public Market construction. The proposal, put forth by First District Councilor Edgar P. Ibuyan Jr., chairperson of the Committee on Government Enterprises and Privatization, stemmed from concerns raised by Ligaya D.
During a media interview, Uba highlighted that more than half of the stalls in the market are closed, with only a few vendors actively selling goods.She expressed the need for assistance in attracting customers, particularly because their stalls are situated on the second floor. Despite the presence of an elevator, many elderly marketgoers find it inconvenient to access the second floor.Uba said that approximately 273 vendors from various sections are affected by the current market situation.
