Who is in charge of the Colon Night Market?
The Freeman
|September 17, 2025
On the matter of rental collections raised by Alcover, Tan said their office had no knowledge of it. He added that he would discuss with the mayor the role of the GASA board, which Alcover insists must be reconvened before the night market can operate.

Alcover argued that a resolution approving road closure does not automatically permit the night market to proceed. “Despite the council's approval of the road closure, the executive still has to follow the GASA process, which must first be convened,” he stressed.
Tan confirmed that the GASA board had not yet been convened as of the executive session but maintained that his office was only following instructions.
The session also touched on a letter from the Office of Muslim Affairs and Indigenous Cultural Communities (OMAICC), which called for a meeting on the night market’s operations. Alcover questioned its authority, pointing out that such a function is not part of its mandate.
