Town Mayor Says He Gave Opportunities for Vendors at Lakeside Park, Sports and Art Center,

Promoting Entrepreneurial Revolution

I went to the Lakeside part this PM and met the town mayor inspecting the park developments.  The park was pretty crowded.  A lot of people were there because of the hot humid weather.

He told me he has been reading the blog posts I have been emailing.  I suggested that whatever the project is:  tourism, art, park development, his goals must include:   development of entrepreneurship, job generation, and revenue for the LGU to recover the costs.

He said that for the  following projects:   sports and arts center, new development at the municipal grounds, lakeside park, he was able to generate 300 entrepreneur/vendors and legalize 400 tricycle operators.

Some math:

His office collects mere PHP 20.00 per vendor/day

300 x 20 x 30 days x l2 mos = PHP 2,160,000.00.  That is a lot of money (about 2% of total LGU revenue)  Nothing was done much except to think of entrepreneur's in the equation.

Jobs generated:  700 say PHP 100 per day x 30 x 12  = P25,200,000 per year.  That is 700 less problems per year for the LGU

Congratulations, Mayor Gerry, Keep It Up.
