BANGON PALENGKE

The city government of Baguio with the leadership of Mayor Benjamin Magalong managed to pull off the clearing and building of makeshift stalls in just seven days. Volunteers from uniformed service, Non-Government Organizations, line agencies, private individuals, and city employees helped out in completing what was supposed to be completed within 3 months. Merchants from Block 3 gradually returned to their original area.  Photos by Neil Clark Ongchangco
