WINNERS: SEARCH FOR PAMBANSANG PAMILIHAN 2006
Three (3) municipalities were declared winners in the recently concluded Search for Pambansang Pamilihan 2006, Provincial Level, implemented by the Department of Trade and Industry. A component of the Bantay Bilihin Program, the Pambansang Pamilihan is a nationwide search of public/private market places complying with fair trade laws, such as price tags and other regulations on weights & measures, safety and quality standards.
A province-wide screening of public markets was conducted starting August by gathering the profiles of the individual public markets. With the collaboration of the members of the Provincial Selection Team, an ocular inspection and evaluation was conducted to fourteen (14) public markets in order to come up with top three winners to vie for the regional competition.
The project aims to motivate the public/private market masters and vendors to actively take part in ensuring and upholding consumer rights. Likewise, it also aims to establish standards to be followed by public/private market places to ensure consumers’ health and safety and ensure that consumers are protected from inaccurate weighing scales. It is also hoped to encourage market operators to run market places that follow these prescribed standards.
Ubay Public Market, which has a total land area of 2 hectares got the FIRST (1st) place with an average score of 91.6; Catigbian Public Market which adopted a color coding system of their market sectioning got SECOND (2nd) place with an average score of 91 while the Valencia Public Market was adjudged THIRD (3rd) place with an average score of 88. These three public markets will automatically be included in the regional screening and evaluation by the Regional Selection Team which will start during the 2nd week of October.
