Vico Sotto: After 12-year complaint, slippery tiles at Pasig market being replaced

MANILA -- Authorities in Pasig City have begun replacing floor tiles at a wet market, which have been the subject of resident complaints for 12 years, Mayor Vico Sotto said Tuesday.

The tile replacement at the Pasig Mega Market started at the meat section, Sotto said on his Facebook and Twitter pages.

"After 12 years!! Nasimulan nang palitan ang nirereklamo niyong madulas na tiles sa palengke," he said.

The mayor also reminded his constituents that the following barangay-based coding scheme is being implemented at the market to regulate crowds and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
