The #marketfiday is an initiative by . It doesn't need to be a market post as long you will share with random varieties in your place. I want to share now but the General community quarantine limits me to capture different views. What I will be sharing now are happenings that I saw in the street not far from where I live in my boarding house.
Earlier, I went outside to buy coffee to give warm my stomach. There's a store below but when I checked it wasn't open yet. I walked in other stores and it brought me 300 meters away from boarding house. Of course, I should be looking 360 degrees to make sure no law enforcer to capture me. The city os healing but the politicians are not satisfied with the money they rob from the government. That's why they keep on implementing quarantine pass if you want to get out.
This one you saw above is a "trisikad" in our own dialect, Bisaya. This was an improvise bicycle to let a passengers ride in but only two of them. It became a transportation vehicle without gas but only in the near destination. Don't forget its called "trisikad."
I took a little walk around the place. To feel the feeling of being outside maybe because it's been 5 months that I almost forget what's the view outside. I saw these people were busy repairing the vehicle. In our country, we called it a volcanizing shop. No need to have a license to fix defects from a vehicle as long as you have experience. But if it's just a normal shop they will only repair the wheel that has a hole. Maybe it's just easy because they will just use the material to cover it and lit a fire on it and it's done.
This was a vehicle of a banana vendor. He used a vehicle so that it will be easier to roam around the banana. Many in the Philippines who always do this kind of stuff. It has a high percentage that the products they will be selling will be sold fast. People don't need to go to a certain place because a vendor will pass in their house to sell. Also, they will keep on shouting what kind of product they will be selling.
A carenderias of a local. If I will going to explain with some similarities. I could tell this is like a restaurant but they just don't offer dining and also rice. What they're selling is only viand food, not boiled rice food. Their product is cheaper compared to a restaurant because others had no permit to sell but the government will not confiscate them if the earnings are just small. Just let the vendors survive in providing their daily needs.
Some locals don't want to go to a market to buy meat. There's no assurance that the meat is new. Also, the price in the markets are expensive. That's why there are those people who culturing pig and sell it by themselves instead. Others will buy a pig from other people who do culture. Then they kill the pig and sell its meat per kilogram. It's not every day, they're doing it once a week only because there's no assurance that all locals will buy meat every day. Considering how much is in their wallet.
This is what happened to my market Friday today. I wasn't that far to capture good views or varieties but I captured interesting facts in the Philippines that you might find it interested.
