Public Market
|
The new public market constructed at Barangay Ibabang, San Roque is now in operation. It covers an area of about 500 sq.m. and offers a wide variety of fish, meat, vegetables and other foodstuffs. It also has a dry goods section. It is in a very accessible area and is expected to cater not only to the local residents but to those from Majayjay, being located along the provincial road to Majayjay. The name Liliw was used throughout the Spanish regime. However, when the Americans came. it became Lilie since they found it easier to pronounce than Liliw. The natives became used to it also. On June 11, 1965, the Municipal Council passed resolution No. 38-S-65, fixing Liliw as the official name and spelling of the town name. This was not only to avoid confusion in pronouncing and spelling the name of the town, but was not also an expression of nationalism by the people. Subsequently, the Municipal Resolution 1096-S1965 was approved by the Board of Laguna. Market day is observed every Saturday and Sunday. Traders who purchase by the bulk prefer to do their marketing in the nearby towns of Nagcarlan and Santa Cruz. |
