THE Tabunok market vendors sought the help of Cebu’s prelate in resolving their relocation dispute with Talisay City.
Nally Murillo of the Task Force Detainees of the Philippines said that Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma advised them to hold more dialogues and consultation with other government agencies and nongovernment organizations to rally support for their cause.
Murillo accompanied yesterday the vendors to meet Archbishop Palma, incoming chairman of Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines.
The Tabunok vendors were opposing their relocation to a new market in barangay Lagtang, which was provided by the local government of Talisay City, because they said it was flood-prone.
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources, however, plans to inspect the market site together with the Talisay City government. Reporter Candeze R. Mongaya
