The new market was built for almost two years after it was eaten by fire on 2008.
Contradicting to the ordinary public market design, its wet market like meat, fish and vegetable stalls can be found on its second floor while those of dry products such as RTW and household items can be found on the first. The 188 million mall-like public market was colored orange, followed after the color of Calapan City Mayor Doy Leachon. According to reports, the money used for the construction of this new market was loaned at BDO bank.

PNOY CITES MINDOREÑOS’ RESILIENCY, OPENS THE ‘MOST MODERN PUBLIC MARKET IN REGION 4B
CALAPAN CITY – President Benigno Aquino III has cited the people of Mindoro Island as he led in the opening yesterday (December 15) of the “most modern public market in the entire MIMAROPA Region” or Region 4B.
Addressing the crowd here Wednesday morning, during the said launching of the newly-built Calapan City Public Market, President Aquino cited the “resiliency” being shown by Mindoreños, both in Oriental and Occidental, which he said, is admirable considering the many setbacks being experienced by the two island provinces from natural and man-made calamities.
The President said he is wondering how the people of Mindoro is bucking the odds despite the said calamities, as evident by the timely construction of the new and most-modern public market in the entire region after the old market here was completely devastated by a big fire in 2006.
Accordingly, the Calapan City Public Market is currently the most modern public market in Region IV-B, composed of the island provinces of Oriental and Occidental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan.
The newly-built two-storey building, equipped with an elevator and an escalator, houses stalls for dry goods on the ground floor and the wet section on the second floor.
All stalls on the ground floor have been occupied while awarding of rights for the second floor is ongoing, the city government said.
The new public market has been built on a loan by the city government after the old market place here was destroyed by a big fire in 2006.
Arriving at the spacious oval of the Jose J. Leido Jr. Memorial National High School from the presidential chopper, Mr. Aquino was warmly welcomed here by local officials, led by Liberal Party mates such as Oriental Mindoro Governor Alfonso V. Umali, Jr., Congressmen Rodolfo G. Valencia and Reynaldo V. Umali, and Calapan City Mayor Salvador Leachon.(By JUANCHO R. MAHUSAY)
