ORDINANCE NO. 2025-095

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 5 OF ORDINANCE NO. 2001-055, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS “THE SIDEWALK VENDING AND REGULATORY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF NAGA,” BY ALLOWING VENDING ACTIVITIES ALONG THE PORTION OF J. HERNANDEZ AVENUE DESIGNATED AS PARKING SPACES ALONGSIDE THE NAGA CITY PEOPLE’S MALL FROM THE CORNER OF PRIETO STREET TO ZAMORA STREET FROM 5:00 P.M. TO 10:00 P.M.

Sponsor: Hon. Vito C. Borja II

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.

NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Naga, that:
