STO. TOMAS—This quiet town finally had its Tindaan Ti Umili (public market), a history here, inaugurated on June 30.

Mayor Timoteo Villar III said the project was jointly funded by the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the municipal government under the Bottom-Up-Budgeting scheme.

The public market (phase 1), built in Barangay San Marcos, is worth P4,460 million. It started construction on Sept. 28, 2015 and completed on June 30, 2016.

“The BUB project is the result of the active collaboration between the national government thru the DILG and the local government unit of Sto. Tomas thru its Local Poverty Reduction Action Team to uplift the socio-economic status of the Tomasians,” the mayor said.

He thanked former Mayor Antonio Villar Jr and his wife, former mayor Vivien Villar, under whose continuous guidance helped realize this dream finally. (Tita Roces)
