Thank you for the amazing article. Do you know what time the livestock auction finishes? I understand that everyone mentions that this is a morning market. But we wouldn’t be there until 11 am or so. Is it still something going on there?
The silvanas look so tasty Aleah! Noted for when I visit this awesome nation. Big sweets and breakfast guy here.

Hi, can i use your fruit photo in the National Museum of Natural History?
I love local markets. So nice to see this one. I haven’t been to a market in the Phils with livestock auction. I’ve seen one in Northern Vietnam and I thought it was interesting. I’m so delighted to see those tropical fruits; make me miss them. You know, we also have farmer’s markets here in New York. Same concept, farmers in the country side bring their produce in the city and cutting awat middlemen. You just inspire me to make a post about it someday. Would be nice to compare farmer’s market in different parts of the world.
Hey Marisol. That’s a nice idea for a collab post. Would love to do that one of these days 🙂
I love local farmers markets although ours aren’t nearly as colorful as this one. The halo-halo looks delicious!
I love farmers markets for the colors alone!
I am not a big market person in general, but I wouldn’t mind going with someone who knew where to go. That halo-halo looks delicious-delicious 🙂
It tastes more delicious than it looks, Ted. When you visit the Philippines, try one of these. 😀
Markets are always a destination spot for me. I want to see what they’re selling and what people are eating. The livestock area is a surprise addition I might add.
Fish tinola is a new concept for me. It’s hard for me to wrap my brains around that concept because tinola has always been chicken for my household growing up. Although my husband thought it would be fun to try.
In Manila, tinola is automatically chicken. But in Mindanao (and it seems in the Visayas too) it’s always fish 😀 Probably because the seafood there is fresher than in Manila.
