Both lanes of Session Road from Baguio Post Office down to Magsaysay Avenue will be closed to vehicular traffic from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. today, March 28, for the third staging of the “Sunday Market Showcase” event.
The city government aims to stimulate economic activity and promote local products by holding a display of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME) products along the central business district’s main thoroughfare.
Restaurants along Session Road will also be allowed to offer al fresco or outdoor dining services during the event.
Mayor Benjamin B. Magalong issued Executive Order 45, s. 2021 authorizing the temporary closure of both lanes of Session Road for the Sunday Market Showcase activity.
The mayor said Session Road is the perfect setting for the MSME product showcase considering accessibility, space, and open air, which ensure adherence to minimum public health protocols.
Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the city government has been conducting Session Road closure to cater to MSMEs and other community events during Sundays.
Magalong said previous similar activities were warmly received by the MSME participants as well as residents and visitors. – Jessa Samidan
