Ouano wants Mandaue market code amended
The Freeman
|August 25, 2025
Mandaue City Mayor Thadeo Jovito “Jonkie” Ouano has requested the City Council to amend the market code to make it more competitive with those of Cebu City and Lapu-Lapu City, while also ensuring that fees remain reasonable.
-
This move comes after public market vendors, particularly fruit vendors, appealed to the city government during a dialogue to impose a moratorium on product fees.
Ouano explained that the city’s market code was enacted in 2011 but was never implemented. It is only now that the market code is being enforced, particularly the additional fees on vendors’ products.
This has raised concerns among vendors, especially those selling fruits, due to the lack of customers on the second floor of the market. As a result, it was agreed that a moratorium on the collection of these fees will be implemented.
