Market vendors who own stores and stalls engaged in buy and sell activities at the public market geared themselves to stand four-square behind the appeal of Economic Enterprises Manager Eric F. Pabinguit to keep the colors of model Pamilihan ng Bayan flying high.
The management call for consciousness is basically for consumer protectionism. Remotely tied with the market cleanliness program is the preservation of the ecosystem to pre-empt the risks of the climate change phenomenon.
The waste management responsibility in the market place is delegated to the care of the Pamilihan ng Bayan effective year 2012.
The delegation is in consequence to the decision arrived in one Monday meeting of the department heads. Manager Pabinguit enforces the cleanliness code provided for in General Ordinance No. 268 of 1992 through Resolution No. 208 authored by then Councilor Josue Rodaje and co- authored by Benjamin R. Lao, which holds responsible the stallholders in the maintenance of cleanliness in the public market. Information was immediately relayed to stall holders and vendors about the provisions of the ordinance. Then on began the shoppers to see the storeowners sweeping away their wastes materials and keeping clean and sanitary their vacinities.
The enthusiastic response of the market stallholders arises from the sense of pride. It is these self same vendors under the present management who are responsible in bringing the palengke to the pedestal of the DTI Hall of Fame for remarkably winning in consecutive years the coveted highest award in the province wide search for outstanding Pamilihan ng Bayan. The enthusiasm persists even when the municipality is not anymore officially participating in the search. The deep sense of pride keeps an extreme pressure to the vendors to maintain the culture of cleanliness and keep alive the tradition of excellence.
