“Yesterday (March 22) nagkaroon mi ug orientation with the vendors na swerte na unang maka-display sa night market. Naisa isa na nato sila ug hopefully mag-abide sila sa atoang mga guidelines,” he said during the AFP-PNP media briefing on Wednesday.
Among the guidelines to be observed in the reopening of the Roxas Night Market include one entrance-one exit and no backpacks and no wearing of jacket.
“No backpacks and no jacket policy will continue as part of our security measures at gated pa rin ang night market,” Sumagaysay said.
The vendors are also reminded to keep their food clean, fingernails cut, and to always wear hairnet. Health cards will be distributed to them by the City Health Office (CHO).
“There are security personnel based on the guidelines natin kasi ang Roxas Night Market naging icon na rin yan for us and foreign tourists so dapat ma-sustain ug ma-maintain nato ang peace and order and cleanliness sa area,” Sumagaysay said.
Sumagaysay added that PSSCC, which will oversee the operation of the Roxas Night Market, has tapped other government agencies also based on their mandate such as City Transport and Traffic Management Office (CTTMO) for the traffic flow in the area; City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) for the cleanliness of the area; Davao City Police Office (DCPO) for the peace and order, and Task Force Davao for anti-terrorism acts.
“We are also inviting the barangay tanods of that barangay to join us as members of the security cluster during the operation of the Roxas Night market,” he said.
The Roxas Night Market will open at 5 pm and will be closed by 12 midnight.
“Gusto namin from 12 am to 1 am cleared na ang Roxas Avenue so that pagkaugma its business as usual sa mga establishments dinha and dili nato gusto na mahamper ilang mga negosyo dinha,” Sumagaysay said.
