SMC officially opens rent-free community market to help local farmers, small businesses

SAN Miguel Corp. (SMC) officially opened its Circolo community weekend market on unused company property in Cabuyao, Laguna to help farmers and small businesses — who are using the market rent-free for six months — reach more consumers, boost their income and broaden access to fresh and affordable products.

SMC President Ramon Ang said the first two weekend runs of the market were a big success for farmers and merchants, who have reported selling out their goods quickly on market days, as Covid-19 restrictions have been eased throughout Metro Manila and neighboring provinces, including Laguna.
