Blue tents set up in Quiapo, Manila after Mayor Isko's clearing ops


Vendors set up blue tents which could be seen lined up along Villalobos Street in Quiapo, Manila on Wednesday, according to a report by Jonathan Andal on GMA News' Unang Balita.

The tents, placed about three feet from the gutter, were set up by the vendors themselves to replace the orange tents.

The vendors said they noticed that blue is the favorite color of the new mayor, Isko Moreno.

 

 

With the new tents, the vendors said they are following the policy on the easement zones along the streets of Manila.

 

 

One of the vendors said they are not trying to win Moreno's favor.

"Walang sipsip dito. Sumusunod lang kami sa gusto namin kasi kulay blue po 'yung ano niya," she said.

 

 

It was reported that Moreno did not approve the setup.

Villalobos Street remains free of obstructions, as well as nearby areas, including Plaza Miranda and Carriedo. — BAP, GMA News
