EXPLANATORY NOTE
The City Government of Naga recognizes the need to establish stable and organized vending spaces for ambulant vendors to promote livelihood security, maintain public order, and ensure that informal economic activities are properly regulated.
During the implementation phase, the initiative received overwhelming public support, demonstrating the community’s appreciation for a system that promotes fairness, discipline, and inclusivity among vendors.
This measure decongested sidewalks and ensured smooth pedestrian and vehicular traffic flow in the major thoroughfares and commercial areas in portions of Barangay Abella and J. Hernandez Avenue, addressing long‑standing issues of obstruction and congestion.
The positive results of the experimental implementation period conducted from August 18 to 31, 2025 confirmed the effectiveness and viability of the program, supporting its formal institutionalization through the enactment of this ordinance.
