The area was where ambulant vendors refused the renovations for the Bagsakan as a protest to the Carbon modernization program that they insist to be a form of privatization of the public market. In a phone interview with Market Authority head, Racquel Arce, she told CDN Digital that the yellow railings were part of the renovation of the Bagsakan so that ambulant vendors will no longer sprawl out on the streets.
For now, Arce has postponed the installation of the yellow railings to pacify the protesting vendors. The new stalls were part of the deal between Megawide and Cebu City to rehabilitate Unit II before the construction of the actual new Carbon Market at Freedom Park and Warwick Barracks.Ann Ariosa, the spokesperson for Carbon-hanong Alyansa, said they can no longer trust the city government as the city is determined to privatize the market.
