Speaking at the recent I- Speak Forum, Macalipes said the city wanted to extend the Roxas Night Market up to Quezon Boulevard to accommodate more vendors who want to sell goods again to cope the new normal life.
The Roxas Night Market, which was previously closed due to the pandemic, was opened last March 24, 2022, and since then, it has generated income for the city.
Macalipes said from March 24, 2022 until July 2022, the Roxas Night Market generated P 2,168,490 in revenues.
He said the night market is one of the special projects of the city along with the Rizal Park Massage Therapy and the SP Concessionaire’s Building.
Macalipes said his office is a committee member of the Tiangge Sa Katawhan, which is composed of the City Treasurer’s Office, and the City Traffic and Transport Management Office (CTTMO). He said his office is tasked to facilitate the conduct of raffles and issue orders of payment to the vendors.
It also manages the income-generating units of the city such as public markets, public cemeteries, the Davao City Crematorium, and slaughterhouses.
The city economic enterprise office is also incharge of the rental spaces at the Davao City Overland Transport Terminal, Magsaysay Park and the Davao City Recreation Center formerly Almendras Gym.
