Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada (left) listens intently to the concerns of the president of vendors’ association in Santa Ana Market (right) during a dialogue with protesting vendors at City Hall yesterday. Estrada assured the vendors that Santa Ana market, being new, will not be demolished but will be upgraded. Other markets up for joint venture arrangements with private firms will provide for a ground-floor public market. The vendors noted Estrada’s explanations during the fruitful dialogue, and said the issues they raised in their protest-rally have been threshed out well. With Estrada are Secretary to the Mayor Edward Serapio, City Engineer Robert Bernardo and City Administrator Ericson Alcovendaz.
