Carbon vendors want Unit II works done soon

CARBON Market vendors are appealing to the Cebu City government to fasttrack the renovation of Unit II.

They are also asking former Cebu City mayor Tomas Osmeña to withdraw his move asking the court for a temporary restraining order against the project.

Sol Jumao-as, one of the vendors, said the new market will allow them to earn more as they will no longer block the roads.

Ermita Barangay Captain Felicismo Rupinta told reporters that if the city will fasttrack the renovation, a proper signage that will serve as customers guide will be installed.
