After the celebrating the New Year – the City streets of Bacolod particularly the downtown area is filled with business entrepreneurs selling clothes, shoes, bags and even toys. Araneta Street which caters the major transport routes is clear of traffic congestion.
People from all walks of life troop to the downtown area to shop in what they call “the people’s bazaar” where everything is sold is pretty much affordable.
Bonifacio Street which is a traffic problem area on a regular day can be turned into a skating rink at the park. People could just walk by the street with ease like strolling at the Public Plaza.
Cigarette vendors at the sidewalk enjoys the afternoon with a drink – they get to do this almost everyday when you happen to pass by this side of the rotunda.
Stores which opted to open get most of the sales for those who avoided the holiday rush. I just hope its double pay for their workers who obviously need a holiday break too.
