Bacolod Councilor Wilson Gamboa Jr. yesterday said the management of Gaisano is open to the proposal of providing an area for a jeepney terminal on their property along Gatuslao Street, Bacolod City and to accommodate the fish vendors in Bonifacio Street.

Gamboa said he met with the management of Gaisano last week to discuss the idea. He also proposed if they could accommodate the money changers along Ballesteros Street, he said.

The Gaisano management agreed to include the proposal in their plans and they will also construct a building in their 1.1-hectare property on October, he added.
