SURIGAO CITY — The City Government of Surigao brought together market vendors and banking professionals during the Market Vendors and Bankers Night on September 3, 2026, at the Surigao City Gymnasium. Held as part of the city’s 56th Charter Day and Fiesta celebration, the gathering recognized two sectors whose daily work contributes significantly to the city’s economic activity and community development. Market vendors were acknowledged for providing essential goods and services to residents, while banking professionals were recognized for helping individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses access financial services that support their operations and growth.
An Evening of Appreciation and Fellowship
The celebration served as an opportunity for the city government to express its gratitude to workers who contribute to Surigao’s progress in different ways. Vendors were recognized for their perseverance and commitment to serving customers, often beginning their work early each day, while banking professionals were commended for helping manage finances and supporting local enterprises. Beyond recognition, the gathering created an opportunity for members of both sectors to interact outside their usual workplaces. City government representatives also joined the occasion, reinforcing the importance of acknowledging the people who help sustain the community’s everyday economic activities.

It also recognized that local progress is shaped not only by major institutions, but by the everyday contributions of workers, entrepreneurs, and community members.
