Code of 1991, provides that: Every LGU shall exercise the powers expressly granted, those

shall x x x establish markets, x x x and authorize the operation thereof by the city government;
and regulate the construction and operation of private markets, talipapas or other similar
buildings and structures.;

WHEREAS, the Honorable City Mayor has favourably endorsed the amendment of the
Tarlac City Omnibus Market Code, particularly with respect to the cleaning of fish and the
indiscriminate throwing of fish scales and innards within the premises of the public market,
which clog the drainage thereat, not to mention the foul odor and other health and sanitation
concerns which arise from the decaying fish entrails;

WHEREAS, the cleaning, segregation and disposal of fish scales and entrails as
extremely difficult, by reason of their nature, hence, more appropriate and exigent measures
should be undertaken, in the interest of ensuring the accomplishment of the purpose and intent
for which the Tarlac City Omnibus Market Code was enacted;
