Street
vendors hit new 'paunay' site
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE AND MARICAR ARANAS
The Dumaguete City Council will assess the problem of "paunay" or market vendors who complained of very low income after their transfer from Sta. Rosa Street to Barangay Bajumpandan.
At the regular session of the Sangguniang Panlungsod, paunay vendors asked for consideration from the city government that they be allowed back in Sta. Rosa.
Estrella Grape, a vendor said only few customers come
to Bajumpandan because of its distance from the city proper. Some of
their vegetables rot because no customers are buying their products,
she said.

No
extension in Oriental Negros Commission on Elections supervisor Eddie Aba yesterday said an extension in the registration of voters would only prejudice other activities of the COMELEC. These include the filing of candidacy period, which starts January 15, he said. Aba said his office is pressed with requests for an extension
of registration by voters, but the COMELEC cannot be blamed if they
cannot vote in this year's elections because the continuing registration
program had started as early as July 2006. |
