Renewal of public market lease contracts starts

Renewal of contracts of lease over stalls at the public market of Bayambang has started.

This was learned from Renato L. Veloria, Jr., Licensing Officer-Designate of the Office of the Municipal Treasurer which processes the contracts in accordance with the Tax Ordinance of Bayambang and other related ordinances.

So far, according to Veloria, forty contracts have been completed. He, however, added that many more are either pending signature of the municipal mayor or undergoing staffwork (checking documentary requirements, payments and performance records of the leassees).

Meanwhile, the local government under Mayor Ricardo M. Camacho and Sangguniang Bayan have issued separate appeals to all leassees to renews their contracts as soon a possible, otherwise the remedies are available under applicable local laws, including closure of the stalls they occupy, may be resorted to.*
