Vendors protest Cebu night market vehicle restriction

CEBU, Philippines – Ambulant vendors marched from the Freedom Park to the Cebu City hall on Wednesday, June 14, to protest a rule barring vehicles from roads leading to the city’s Carbon night market.

According to Wine Miro, the vice-chairperson of the vendor group Carbonhanong Alyansya, the local government began putting up signs, railings, and traffic barriers on May 1, starting with areas near the Warwick Barracks which eventually spread to MC Briones Street, Manalili Street, Plaridel Street, and F. Gonzales Street.

“There’s really no more profit; it’s so low, and then we just get enough to pay the bills,” Ruiz told Rappler. The order has since been carried out by officials of the Market Operations Division , and presently, the United Multi-Sectoral Council of Cebu City .
