PANABO CITY- With the full implementation of the new rates and stall rentals and the noticeable slow economic activity in the market, the Panabo City Council is now proposing the removal of the penalty and surcharges for unpaid stall rentals and allowing the vendors to pay without penalty the monthly stall rental incurred from January until August.
This proposal was made during the public hearing in front of many stall owners and vendors held at the ARF Gym, New Pandan last July 4, 2012. Councilor Alan G. Piedad authored an ordinance, which was co-authored by Councilors Demetrio D. Dolon, Jannet Tanong-Maboloc, Ruperto B. Cagape and Emeterio Blase to address the said problem.
Piedad said that the ordinance will help vendors fulfill their obligation to pay their rental arrears and dues with the City Government.” There is an alarming increased of unpaid stall rentals and ballooning penalties and surcharges incurred by the stallholders,” Hon. Piedad said.
He added that the removal of the penalties and surcharges of the unpaid monthly rentals of market stalls and spaces from the month of January to August 2012 would mitigate the suffering felt by the stallholders.
Some stallholders have collectively aired their concerns to the City Council members that despite economic hardship, they will fulfill their obligation and responsibility by paying their dues for the development and improvement of the market “We are also committed to help disseminate information”, the group said.
