MANGALDAN – The acting mayor of this tapa (cured beef) town said that the construction of the multi - million pesos Phase-II of the public market will probably start this July.
“Wala pa. Rainy season siguro
iyan. July,” stressed by Vice Mayor Pedro Surdilla Jr.
Surdilla, a lawyer, cited that the provincial board had already approved the
review of the forty million pesos loan the Sanggunian Bayan (legislature)
passed and Mayor Bona Fe D. Parayno signed into law.
The already constructed Mangaldan's Phase-1 Public Market. |
He added that the brass of Land Bank of the Philippines, the lender,
had already approved too the official intention of the local government unit
here.
In January 5 this year, the legislature under Vice Mayor Surdilla
unanimously approved the authority for Mayor Parayno to engage in the
pre-selling of stalls at the Phase-II.
An excerpt of Resolution No. 2017-02 said the Phase-II is a
replacement to the old market gutted by fire in 2009 to “ease the
smooth transition of business transaction of the project to the businessmen who
are interested to avail of stalls at the public market.”
Fernando Saguisag Cabrera, administrative officer 4 of the local
government here, said that the already collected ten million pesos good will
for the trust fund would be exclusively allocated, as the ordinance mandates,
for the implementation and rehabilitation of the Phase II market.
Cabrera cited this burgeoning town has recouped more than one-fourth
of the amortization of the P40 million loans she applies at the Land Bank of
the Philippines through the good will monies and rents from stall owners.
Meanwhile, Acting Mayor Surdilla said he will be the chief executive
of this first class town after Mayor Bona Fe D. Parayno went to the United
States last May 2 for personal reason.
Parayno will be reporting to office on May 28 this year.
Surdilla said that his being a mayor is only ministerial in duty like
tending the town sans hiring and firing.
He cited Section 46 of the Local Government Code of 1991 that mandates
that an acting mayor could appoint, suspend, dimiss an employee if the elective
mayor is absent beyond 30 days.
