Weygan-Allan: Maybe there is hope for displaced roving vendors

January 16, 2021 AMBULANT and roving vendors have been welcomed in the earlier days when transportation was not as frequent and easy as before. In the 1970s, ambulant vending came as far as our home in Happy Homes, Old Lucban. However, through the years when our neighboring provinces like La Union and Pangasinan have banned roving vendors and dismantled the sidewalk vendors, many have moved to Baguio. This has increased social and structural concerns of Baguio. The market ordinance requires that business people must be Baguio residents, thus this increased over crowding of boarding houses and apartments, it has also increased the issues of illegal structures. The garbage has increased in volume, the water resources and supply has been of greater demand. There is increased demand for services because there is also increasing volume of underground economy including the ambulant roving vendors.
