Mines View Park rehab on despite errant vendors

By Jho Arranz

BAGUIO CITY  -  Despite reports that new shanties and stalls were built again within the vicinity of Mines View Park, Mayor Mauricio Domogan said the city government will continue implementation of its rehabilitation during his weekly media forum Jan.15.

A relocation survey was conducted to clarify boundary disputes being claimed by some individuals.

It was agreed upon that once the final relocation survey is finished, all shanties/stalls found to be encroaching Mines View Park should voluntarily dismantle their stalls. Otherwise, the city will demolish their stalls, the mayor said.

He said if an owner of a stall at the multi-purpose building be found  violating rules and still sells at the park would mean disqualification and cancellation of right of lease contract.

“How can Mines View Park multi-purpose building be appreciated and prosper if again willful vendors went back to the park.”

Domogan urged the barangay officials of Mines View Park to help monitor even the City Environment and Parks Management Office (CEPMO) led by Assistant Department Head Ruben Cervantes to report and monitor those without building permits.

“The fencing of the Mines View Park will resume once the relocation survey and clearing of mines view park is finished,” said the mayor.
