My pix of the new public market

As I have mentioned in an earlier blogpost, the LGU has formally inaugurated the new Calbayog Bus Terminal and Public Market complex. The complex sits on a 3.5 ha. property off Magsaysay Boulevard extension in Barangay Bagacay, Calbayog City. Here are some pictures I took before yesterday's program.

This is the new Public Market. The "dry section" is at the ground floor while the "wet section" is at the second floor.

Demy Dimaranan, Tony Tallon, Dr. Teody Fortaleza and Chu-chu Aquino as they took a close look of the wet section before the program.
