OF THE WEEK
Mountain Market
The town of Sagada, Mt.
Province (275 kms north of Manila) is one place where people still do
market-vending the old way: outdoors, using mats instead of stalls.
Vegetables are expectedly the most common wares in the Sagada public
market, the Cordillera region being vegetable country. With one look one
can tell the freshness of the vegetables. Some of the vendors are still
starting to set up, with their wares still in large plastic bags.
In Sagada they still do
many things the old way; the town itself remains a favorite refuge for
tourists looking for a respite from the fast-paced life in Manila and
other urban centers. Ironically, Sagada risks losing its rustic appeal to
the prospects of urbanization arising from the influx of tourists.
