BAGUIO CITY -- Mayor Mauricio Domogan warned
ambulant vendors here to to vending in unauthorized areas or face penalties
like being banned from selling.
“Despite rules, there were still a number of
willful ambulant vendors violating guidelines,” he said.
The Baguio City Market Authority met with
roving May 6 at city hall to iron out concerns of roving vendors and Public
Order and Safety Division.
The city government allowed vendors to sell
goods in the designated areas provided they secure special permits from the
city government and comply with regulations.
Mayor Mauricio Domogan told vendors they must
always wear identification cards, staying in one place selling so POSD
personnel will not apprehend them.
It was then agreed upon during the said
meeting that they will be given three chances if they violate rules.
First offense will mean confiscation of IDs for one week with P1,000 fine
and they will be allowed to sell only for a week.
Second offense means confiscation of ID for
two weeks with P1,000 fine and not allowed to sell for two weeks.
Third offense will mean permanent
confiscation of IDs and they will no longer be allowed to vend.
There 180 registered ambulant vendors.
However, only 117 processed the renewal of their respective special permits.
Four new applications were also processed.
