CITY HALL SUSPENDS NEW MAHARLIKA RENTAL RATES AMID NATIONAL ENERGY CRISIS

Amid the national energy crisis, the City Government of Baguio has suspended the new rental rates for stalls at the Maharlika Livelihood Complex (MLC).

Under Ordinance 26-2026 (providing interim guidelines for the operation of the MLC pending the formulation of its master development plan), the rental rates for stalls are set according to floor location.

Stalls in the basement are set at P30.00 per square meter daily (P900.00 monthly); the ground floor at P34.00 daily (P1,020.00 monthly); the second floor at P32.00 daily (P960.00 monthly); the third floor at P30.00 daily (P900.00 monthly); the fourth floor at P28.00 daily (P840.00 monthly); the fifth floor at P26.00 daily (P780.00 monthly); and the sixth floor at P24.00 daily (P720.00 monthly).

Such rates are generally higher than most previous ones in line with the city’s aim to update and standardize stall rates and transform the MLC into a local economic enterprise.

During the Baguio City Council’s regular session on March 30, 2026, a consensus was reached among city officials to suspend the implementation of the ordinance in light of the declaration of a national energy emergency by President Ferdinand Marcos as a result of the Middle East War which has caused a significant rise in fuel and electricity costs nationwide.

MLC tenants attended the March 30 City Council session to await the decision. Following the City Council’s consensus, Mayor Benjamin Magalong also relayed through Vice Mayor Faustino Olowan that the ordinance, originally set to take effect on April 1, 2026, would not be implemented as it would have added financial strain to the tenants.

The decision followed a proposal filed by Councilor Van Dicang, chairperson of the Committee on Market, Trade and Commerce and Agriculture to suspend the ordinance in response to the plight of MLC tenants.

Magalong is scheduled to meet with the tenants to discuss the matter further. -Jordan G. Habbiling
