| Demolition of
‘ukay ukay’ at plaza urged BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO Acting Secretary to the Mayor Moises de la Cruz requested the City Legal Office yesterday to demolish the stalls selling “ukay-ukay” or used clothing at the Bacolod Public Plaza after the awardees failed to voluntarily demolish their structures last week. In his letter to City Legal Office Joselito Bayatan dated December 10, De la Cruz said an order was issued Thursday for the kiosk owners to voluntarily demolish all structures within three days from receipt of notice due to violation, specifically for selling ukay-ukay. He said the 68 kiosks (along Gatuslao and Gonzaga streets) are still in operation inspite of the demand for the awardees to vacate the place. |
