The details of the Lease Agreement (LA) were finalized on Friday at the Amare Restaurant here with Gov. Lilia “Nanay Baby” Pineda and Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC) president and CEO Emigdio “Dino” Tanjuatco III as signatories.
The 2,000 square-meter lot along CM Recto Highway is being used every Friday as an open-type market for various produce sold by vendors from the province.
The concept was first introduced by former Candaba Mayor Jerry Pelayo which secured a permission from the Clark Development Corp. (CDC) to sell various farm fresh produce at low prices.
The provincial government wanted to formalize the pact with a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with then CDC president Antonio Remollo in 2011 but the plan was shelved after the latter was replaced as president of the state-run firm.
The property, which now falls within the jurisdiction of CIAC under President Aquino’s Executive Order transferring the civil aviation complex to the Department of Transportation and Communications, is now ready for leasing.
On Friday, Gov. Pineda and Tanjuatco agreed to allow the establishment of a One Town One Product (OTOP) center in the area to showcase Kapampangan products for annual lease of only P1.
