Jay Warren R. Pabillaran attended the event, members of the Appraisal & Disposal Committee, Technical Working Group, staff, and guests, marking its significance

Mayor Pabillaran highlighted the importance of the public auction, citing the accumulation of unserviceable properties over time. He emphasized the need for a proper procedure to dispose of these items.

The Auction Sale consisted of six (6) lots of unserviceable equipment and properties, sold as one (1) cluster through a “Viva Voce” basis. The items included motorcycles, vehicles, various batteries, scrap iron, scrap plastic, and assorted tires, with a clustered minimum floor price of P1,490,220.64.
