This time, it’s a resolution filed by Councilor Alvin Arcilla, approved by the council on the same day they approved the resolution seeking the opinion of the Cebu City Legal Office on the legality of the market’s operations and the possible liabilities of the offices and entities involved.

Aside from this, it was also reported that the council has called upon Mayor Nestor Archival, to temporarily suspend the night market operations until the Gasa sa Gugma Board convenes.

These were among the measures approved by the council through a resolution filed by Councilor Pastor “Jun” Alcover in his capacity as chairman of the Committee on Markets of the City Council.
