Public Market Redevelopment Program
The City Government is now undergoing full-scale
public market redevelopment, the old and structurally
unsound public markets are one of the beneficiaries of the
“Buhayin ang Maynila” program. As one of the major
programs of the City, major physical and structural
redevelopment have been undertaken to enhance the
services of City’s public markets into a global stature. Since
the commencement of the program, there are at least five
completed and operational public markets as of this date.
They are the Sta. Ana Market in District six (6), Pritil Market in
District one (1), Sampaloc and Trabah o Markets in District
four (4), and Dagonoy Market in district five (5).
The Market Redevelopment program of the City of
Manila did not escape the critical eyes and minds of the

Andres won the most beautiful and cleanest public market in
the National Capital Region.
The program is geared towards the redevelopment
and upgrading of all public markets and its support facilities
to make them more responsive to the present and future
needs of the city residents. The City Government believes
that public markets serve as business incubators ad survival
