TACLOBAN CITY — An additional income of 2 million pesos was reported by the Market Administration for July and August this year.

This was confirmed by Officer-in-Charge of the Market Operations, Joel Bugho who said in an interview on Monday, September23, that for July and August, the Tacloban Super Market has recorded an average monthly income of two million pesos.

“Iton City Market Operations nanalimbasog kay nag-increase kita han aton income. Based han una nga income dida han July, in umabot ha 2.2 million pesos. Ha Market and Slaughter iton. Pag-abot liwat han August, 2.07 million, kumpara han July ngan August 2018 na kutob la 1.3 million,” he stressed.

However, Bugho explained the reason why the monthly income for August of this year has plunged down to nearly Php200,000.

”Tungod han Night Market, kay as requested ni Mayor nga igwaive an fees han mga magtirinda didto,” he said

“Siguro ma increase kita it September kumo ine na aton nagtitinda ha Night Market kay mayda naman bayad. Hopefully dumako talaga iton labi-labi na kay nagkakaada gihap kita hin saturation drives,” Bugho added.

Recently, they have conducted a saturation drive called ‘OPLAN BUSINESS PERMITS’and collected fees amounting to 20 thousand pesos.

Meantime, the office will start the on-the-spot inspection of establishments within the public market for the ‘Operation Timbangan’ this coming October, November, and December to check the accuracy of weighing scales, and ensure the protection of consumers against deceptive and unfair sales practices during the holidays. – C.
