The public market of Miagao, Iloilo is
one of its kind in the whole of Yrong-Yrong Province.
Miagao is the only one In Yrong-Yrong
which operates an abattoir right in the heart of its public market in
violation of PD 856 or the Sanitation Code of the Philippines which
requires that slaughterhouses must be built at least 25 meters from
residences, government offices, places of worship, restaurants and
public markets, among others.
The outgoing administration of Mayor
Julieta in 2013 allotted P4.4 M to erect a new abattoir
outside the poblacion. The succeeding rulers led by MakNapul forgot to implement it
for reason known only to them.
Further, Miagao's public market is the
only one in Yrong-Yrong running into deficits. While other public
markets are net earners for their LGUs, Miagao's collections for 2014
is in the red of almost negative P1 M.
Ay, andut ra, Bernardo, haw?
The town spends P20,000 monthly paying
geniuses called consultants in order to perk up market operations but
the same is just flushed into the smelly drainage ditches around the
public market.
Ay, maan dulang tinyo dyan, Bernardo!
Basi may tuklo man rugyan, bai?
