Benitez extends P2.5-M aid to MassKara kiosk tenants

BACOLOD CITY – Mayor Albee Benitez has donated P2.5-million worth of assistance to kiosk tenants affected by tropical cyclone “Kristine” and extended the MassKara Festival celebration until Oct. 31.

The five-day extension from Oct. 27 to 31 benefitted food kiosks at the Bacolod City Government Center , Bacolod public plaza, and Megaworld The Upper East.Benitez expressed support to tenants who have struggled to break even due to heavy rain affecting their sales at the festival.

Benitez said that heavy rains in October are common. “We’ve done this in the past, so we’ve occasionally postponed the festival’s conclusion,” he said. “It was truly one for the books. Even with uncooperative weather, we had record-breaking crowds during the opening weekend and no major crimes reported,” he said.
