BAGUIO CITY – The City Treasurer has issued a call for applicants for candle and flower-selling on October 26 to Nov. 1 at the Jadewell Parking Area to prepare pertinent documents for submission on Oct. 18 at City Hall.
The applicant must be a bonafide resident of Baguio City, of legal age, and must not have any violations in the past years of selling candles and flowers.
Together with a properly filled up application form from the Campaign and Investigation Division, Treasury Office, applicants must submit two copies of 2” x 2” photos, barangay business clearance, (Baguio City) residence certificate, 2016 Official Receipt of Residential Garbage payment, and photocopy of any valid Identification Card.
The applicant’s documents are evaluated, followed by the assignment of stall number. Fees and taxes totaling P1,020.00 are paid at the One-Stop-Shop, Other Fees Section, after which the applicant proceeds to the Permits and Licensing Office for submission of all documents, and preparation ofa special permit.
Some 125 stalls measuring 6 feet x 6 feet each are prepared, but may be extended, if needed. Parking will be on the right side of the selling area.
There should be no swapping of stalls, no cooking, no gambling, no sub-leasing, and sanitation should be observed. The special permit issued should be posted at all times in the stall, and violation of the policies would mean no permit for the next three years.
There should be no retailing of flowers in the bagsakan areas, and tents.
The assignment of stalls are strictly on a first-come, first-served basis; only applicants with complete requirements are accepted; and only candles, flowers and floral arrangement materials are allowed to be sold.
Candle and flower-selling is an annual undertaking of the city government in coordination with concerned bodies for All Souls and All Saints Days’ commemoration.** juliegfianza
