Bacolod Central Market  Bagged Cleanest Market Award.

      Representative from the government sectors, and media yesterday, Oct. 3, 2004, inspected the three major markets of the city. Libertad, Burgos and Central, on the occasion of the Vendor's Day Celebration.
     Bacolod Central Market won, per the tabulated results of the judges rating the three markets as it was found to be the cleanest and the vendors were united in keeping the market as a pleasant venue for trade. The vendors association in the market is obviously a group of cooperative individuals as evidenced by their collective effort to decorate and keep their stalls as clean as possible for their inspection of the judges.
     The 2nd place went to Libertad Market. There was some degree of cooperation among the vendors, who also tried to keep their stalls in order. The relative congestion of the place, however, did not allow their efforts to be effective. It was noted that the area surrounding the market was cleaner than usual and garbage was no longer piled outside.
     Burgos Market was in the last category. It was noted by the judges that the vendors outside the market, along Cuneta Extension, refuse to use the 60 stalls inside that belonged to the project of then Congressman Orola. The stalls are presently idle and used for storing coconut husks, drying cassava, and other activities that they were not intended for.
     It was generally noted that drainage is a prevailing problem in all market, and that it would be more hygienic if more faucets were installed in the wet market sections. (CMO-PIO)
