BACOLOD CITY – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) turned over a two-story building to the officials of Barangay Pahanocoy here on Wednesday, April 26.
The P9.6-million project funded by the national government did materialize behind the effort of Bacolod Rep. Greg Gasataya.

Barangay Captain Yolanda Noble said the building will be used as a mini-market, which will have wet and dry sections, as well as stalls. There will also be a food court on the upper floor, she added. Noble said the area used to be the village’s old market until later when it went non-operational. She said the village had no permanent market building, since she assumed her post in 2018, adding that most of their vendors displayed their products beside the roads, including those who were selling fish and meat. With the construction of the mini-market, Noble said that it will now be convenient for village residents to buy vegetables, fruits, meat, and fish since they no longer have to travel far or go to the adjacent village to buy food and other commodities. Meanwhile, Gasataya said that he is hoping that this building will give an opportunity to more vendors.
