Aside from promoting the city’s tourism, it seems that our city officials, as well, as several of the city’s private investors, are also keen on improving the city’s livelihood. And this is evident in the latest developments going on around the city. In five years’ time, the city has gone through numerous transitions and improvements in various sectors.
Just recently, the Market City in Agora formally opened its doors for business. Who would have thought that this new complex, might I add — a complex with pristine and spacious hallways, was formerly the chaotic Agora Market?
In order to serve its purpose efficiently, the new market complex is designed to facilitate order, which is a big leap from its former state. There is now a clear partition that sets apart the dry goods from the wet market section.
At its current state, the new public market still has a lot of vacant stalls available for interested tenants. However, the complex is now inhabited by several popular tenants, including the ff:
- Prito Paborito
- Mang Inasal
- La Ilongga
- Lechon Manok ni Sr. Pedro
- Vjandep Pastel
- Dunkin Donuts
- Karen’s Bakeshop
- Orbitz
- Rose Pharmacy
Another of the complex’s biggest tenants is the Ororama chain of stores. Ororama opened its TLP (Total Lower Price) store at the Market City’s southeast corner. Ororama is one of the oldest surviving privately owned businesses in the city and having them inside the complex greatly signifies the growing business ties between the public and private sector.
Aside from the clear partitions set between the wet and dry sections, the new complex also boasts of well guarded and impressively clean comfort rooms. However, let’s just hope it stays that way. After all, it’s only for the good of the consumers – the Kagay-anons.
