Hi Hec! I still owe you an article about Baguio. I’ll post it soon.
About the market, I hope, for all our sakes, that our Baguio Market would always be as we remember it to be.

I spent a huge chunk of my childhood at the palengke. It was my playground.I grew up there as our bread and butter was my mom’s business over at the rice section.She knew everyone there, i mean everyone who had a stall, from meat to flowers to fruits and vegetables,fish sections,tobacco, kakanin,the original huge thrift clothes market by the Hangar bldg.I wasn’t afraid to languish to any of these areas because the Market was my house/family. My market playground ended when my mom passed away when i was just 9 yrs.old.That was in the late 60’s.But the memries’ and love for it will forever live in me.I miss it so much.Thanks for posting Pan.

I miss Baguio a lot and the market has always been one of my very favorite destinations. growing up, I would often go to the dry goods section (was it called Maharlika?) and buy all sorts of cool stuff - nunchucks, arnis sticks and even blowguns which cost around 25 pesos or less. I would always love bargaining too, hehehe. As I grew older, I appreciated the produce market more, especially at how fresh and inexpensive all the vegetables were. And who can forget all the peanut brittle (although we would get the good ones from Good Shepherd) and Ube Jam. Aruy, tinatakam na tuloy ako…

I like those pictures you took. The veggies, fruits & all those fresh organic stuff (maybe minus the longganisa) look so bountiful. That’s the Baguio I remember.

I would rather comment on the recado de longganisa … so please consider this post as a request, demand, claim for the famous longganisa. Thank you!
