Osmeña clarified that they had been continuously in talks with vendor groups to formulate the best plans for the night market, but it did not mean that the night market would come back anytime within the next few months.These proposals will still be up for the approval of Mayor Edgardo Labella, who remains to have the final say on the return of the night market.
