Datu Saripada Agwak, successor Rise-Rise puppets of mallification in Yrong-Yrong

 "Bolanteros", the Visayan for ttransient or temporary vendors who once added life to the brisk commerce at the Super and Central markets, are gone now as result of "mallification".

Yrong-Yrong City and majority of its "honorables" just love SM Prime Holdings at the expense of the vendors.

These subsistence entrepreneurs are self-sufficient and add revenues to the local government which traits are eroded by "mallification", that is, the city government, having volunteered as water boy, executive assistant, alalay, tong collector of SM Prime Holdings, owner of chains of malls nationwide which the regime of Datu Saripada Agwak have gifted, yes gifted", de facto full ownership and control of Yrong-Yrong's two prime real estate assets totaling 3 ha. + for at least 50 years.

During these 50 years, SM gets all the collections from rents, fees on delivery trucks and parking vehicles of market goers.

During 50 years, SM pays no rent, that is, Yrong-Yrong won't get a peso from SM which rakes all what it fleeced from lessees.

Yrong-Yrong can't even collect real property taxes from SM for its occupancy of the Super and Central markets because the city, not SM, still owns these prime properties.

Yrong-Yrong the land owner can't tax itself for owning Super and Central, can it?

Yrong-Yrong finally gets the "rent" after 50 years when the "contract of lease" expired and that takes the form of two buildings SM erected for P2 B in 2022 at the ruins of the old Central and Super markets.

SM, the contract stipulates, pays the "rent" by handing over to the city two buildings, 50 years old each at the minimum; by then both would reek of wear and tear in plumbing, wiring, drainage, ventilation, etc., structural integrity even.

By then, Datu Saripada Agwak the man responsible for the broad daylight robbery (even his annointed one, Rise-Rise) would have migrated to the Great Beyond, either in eternal bliss in paradise or damnation in hell, preferably the latter.
