Sidewalks to be cleared

AN OFFICIAL of the Davao City Demolition Office said Monday that it will resume its operation against vendors who violate the one-third-two-third policy anytime this week.

Retired Colonel Yusop Jimlani said Monday that the suspension of operations against violators was already lifted on Sunday, January 4.

He said Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte approved the moratorium from December 5 to January 4 only.

However, Jimlani said he will extend it anytime this week to give vendors more time to transfer.

"Mubalik na ta sa normal sa atong gina tawag na one-third-two-third policy," Jimlani said.

He appealed to the vendors in the metropolis, especially in downtown area, to abide by the policy to avoid demolition and confiscation of items.

He said the pedestrians complain during the Yuletide season but there was no demolition implemented following the moratorium.

"Karon, sa mga kaigsuonan natoi nga mga vendors, pag bigyan na pud nato ang kadaghanan sa katawhan nga nanginahanglan sa ilang dalan," he said.

Jimlani said the demolition team will operate even in night time. (ANC)
