Stall owners are promised a new, improved Tondo public market by Lacuna.

A bigger, better, and more organized Pritil Market in Tondo will soon be built, the city government of Manila assured 500 vendors on Wednesday.

The Mayor of Manila Honey Lacuna-Pangan gave the assurance that the new market would not be privatized and would continue to charge customers fairly.

The mayor looked over the ancient Pritil Market, which was destroyed by fire last week and had to be abandoned by 491 vendors of wet and dry goods.

She pleaded for understanding from the sellers, who must currently operate out of a temporary space while the local government raises money to build the “Bagong Pritil Market.”

At the new market, all of the stalls would have the same size.

She also let the sellers know that the city will provide cash support totaling at least PHP 5,000.

The Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa ating Disadvantaged / Displaced Workers (TUPAD) initiative will give additional cash assistance through the office of Rep. (First District) Ernix Dionisio.

According to Lacuna, the old building can no longer be renovated, so the entire market must be demolished to make room for the construction of a new one.

On April 28, a fire destroyed the whole 6,000 square meter market and caused damage estimated to be worth PHP110 million.

Vice Mayor Yul Servo, City Engineer Armand Andres, Zenaida Viaje, the head of the Manila Traffic and Parking Bureau, and Dionisio are all present for the inspection.
