Mandaluyong City Mayor Benhur Abalos shows the first level of the 3-storey building that houses the new public market that consists of 204 stalls for wet and dry sections.

The public market, constructed with the initiative of Mayor Abalos, is the response of the city government to the pressing problem of ambulant vendors in that area, securing an economic stability for these “entrepreneurs.”
