    FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF STREET FOOD PARK OR A
    COMMON SELLING AREA FOR STREET FOOD VENDORS IN
    THE CITY OF CABADBARAN, PROVIDING FUNDS THEREOF,
    AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES

    WHEREAS, Article II, Section 9 of the Philippine Constitution provides that the
    State shall promote a just and dynamic social order that will free the people from poverty
    through policies that promote full employment, a rising standard living, and an improved
    quality of life for all;

    WHEREAS, Article XIII, Section 2 of the Philippine Constitution, stipulates further


    that the promotion of social justice shall include the commitment to create economic
    opportunities based on freedom of initiative and self-reliance;

    WHEREAS, in the midst of exorbitant costs of living and unprecedented inflation,


    more and more people are exploring other avenues to augment their income, and as an
    alternative, ventures on sidewalk food vending, which is illegal in the City of Cabadbaran
    under the Municipal Ordinance No. 11-1993;

    WHEREAS, despite prohibitions, there is still a rising number of street food


    vendors, wherein people along with the influx of students have become regular patrons;
    usually doing trade along City streets using improvised food carts or stalls which sell
    various sorts of ready-to-eat foodstuffs and drinks;

    WHEREAS, it is apparent that they somehow contribute to the City’s economy


    considering that they also play a role in the flow of local goods, food business operators,
    purchasers and consumers within the food business industry, including the food supply
    chain;

    WHEREAS, it is unfortunate that these sidewalk vendors, as illegitimate business


    owners, are often perceived as nuisances from obstructing vehicular and human traffic,
    and causing pollution along sidewalks and thoroughfares;

    WHEREAS, this Sanggunian, as the policy-making Body, deems it necessary to


    devise preemptive actions, so as to protect the rights of the street food vendors by
    legitimizing their means of livelihood through creating a food park, where they can
    display their food commodities in a lawful way, and at the same time attracting tourists
    into the City’s local food industry.
    NOW THEREFORE
