According to Sandiaga, this program will also cater to pedestrians' needs. “The concept is to honor pedestrians' needs, followed by accommodating small vendors that are trained and mentored, which will also be given a temporary space and location where they can be mentored,” said Sandiaga Uno on Monday.
Sandiaga said the city administration would apply a time limit to the street vendors to sell their goods at certain hours. He said the time would be adjusted to the rush hours when pedestrians were at their most.
“In certain hours, we will give a chance for street vendors to sell their goods that will be adjusted to the flow of pedestrians and the intended integrated transportation available,” he said.
