Swift clean-up after fire allows Baguio market stall owners’ early return

BAGUIO, Philippines – Around 80% of Baguio City’s 1,642 displaced market vendors returned to their old trading block on Tuesday, March 21, just ten days after a fire hit their segment of the public market.

Cleaning and clearing efforts in the affected portions of the market are 100% done, said Public Order and Safety Division head Daryll Longid. “We are working until the night to rush so we can see the achievement we have done over the past week for our vendors,” Longid said. The Baguio City council also approved a resolution asking financial institutions in the city to defer fire-afflicted vendors’ loan payments without charging additional interest.
