Around 1,000 ambulant vendors in Baclaran, Parañaque City, will receive cash and food assistance from the city government and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) after a temporary street-selling ban affected their livelihood.
Mayor Edwin Olivarez said the ban, which runs from Nov. 1 to 21, is part of preparations for the 49th ASEAN Summit.
Qualified vendors who rely on daily earnings of ₱300 to ₱500 will receive food packs and cash assistance.
Beneficiaries will be identified and validated through the city government’s database before aid distribution.
The restrictions aim to keep streets and sidewalks clean, safe, and clear for motorists, commuters, and visiting delegates.
