Iniutos ni Manila City Mayor Joseph “Erap” Estrada ang pagpapaigting sa cleanup at clearing operations sa mga commercial center sa lungsod, partikular sa Divisoria, na inaasahang dadagsain ng mamimili ngayong Kapaskuhan.
“During ‘ber’ months, there are a lot of shoppers visiting the malls, as well as vendors in the streets,” pahayag ni Estrada. “We have to ensure that the streets and sidewalks are clean, and traffic would ease, so that people will be able to pass through the streets and sidewalks without any problem.”
“We start cleaning up the streets and sidewalks starting at 4:00 am. This would take place just before street vendors leave. Usually, vendors leave at 6 am,” sabi naman ni Task Force Manila Cleanup (TFMC) chief Che Borromeo.
