By a vote of nine for, three against and two abstentions, the Cebu City Council passed the onerous amendments to Carbon’s portion of the Market Code and essentially handed the public market in a silver platter to a private business enterprise. I attended the third and final hearing and heard the bell begin a deathly toll as the final nail to the coffin of Carbon Public Market was hammered in.It was really a done deal from the start.
The bell tolls for basic necessities and essential goods that thrifty Cebuano homemakers and price-conscious small businesses could no longer source from Carbon at pocket-friendly prices. These will be buried in Carbon’s mall-topped grave, beautiful and shiny but still a grave.The bell tolls for small farmer-producers and small home-based manufacturers who could no longer afford the raised entrance fees for goods they used to unload in bulk in Carbon to sell to retailers.
