MORE businessmen are encouraged to participate in the raffle for the stalls of Pasalubong Center, an official said.
Davao City Administrator Jesus Melchor V. Quitain, in a media interview, said that they still haven't finished raffling the stalls.
"Nagkaroon kami ng raffling doon, but we did not raffle everything. The first raffling involved stalls for eateries," Quitain.
He asked the City Information Office (CIO) to help them disseminate information about the raffle.
"Marami pa kaming stalls to be raffled off. We hope more people will get to participate and we have asked the City information Office to help us in disseminating the information also so more people can participate," Quitain said.
He added that according to Assistant City Administrator Jhopee Avancena-Agustin, many stalls are still vacant.
"According to Atty. Agustin may bakante pa, yun ang concern ko because I want the Pasalubong Center to be the destination of the tourism." He belied report that rent is expensive at the Pasalubong Center.
"Hindi naman mahal ang rent pero ang sabi ni Atty. Jhopee dahan-dahan lang muna. We will take everything one classification at a time," Quitain said.
