May Wagwagan pa ba sa Baguio?

Hazel Toquero, a Filipino teacher in New York, takes us bargain shopping at a street fair in Lexington Avenue at the Big Apple. Hazel honed her haggling skills in Baguio City where she grew up. Aside from being known as the summer capital, Baguio has also earned a distinction as the “wagwag” or “ukay” capital of the Philippines.

Hazel shares:

Ang mga Pinoy ay mahilig mag-shopping. Ang kaibahan natin ay mahilig tayo sa tumataginting na mga letrang SALE! Hindi ako bumibili ng clothes or shoes with their original price. Lagi akong nag-aabang ng sale 50 percent off pataas. Habit ko na ang laging maghanap ng “such a good deal” sa mga stores. Lagi kong katwiran ay sayang naman ang pera at pandagdag na lang sa padala sa Pinas.

Check out the YouTube video.

Balaw Balaw: A Visual and Culinary Feast

LONG RIDES ARE MEANT to prepare you for a much-awaited destination. So a companion and I were all psyched up when we boarded an FX (fare: P45) at Edsa Central on a weekend. The destination: Balaw Balaw Restaurant in Angono, Rizal, a little more than an hour's ride. It took ages before the vehicle filled up and we were on the road. Traffic was smooth. It was Saturday morning, after all. Most people would probably be staying in bed till lunch while we were going out of town for some good Filipino food.

Every 10 minutes we would check our watch and ask the driver, "Manong, malapit na po?" (Are we near?) The buildings were becoming scarcer as we drove farther away from the metro. We were seeing acres and acres of greens as we anticipated road signs telling us that we had finally reached Angono.

The driver's "Dito na po kayo" (Here's your stop) jolted us out of our reverie as it pulled over at the side of the Angono Highway. He gestured to the San Miguel sign to the left that said "Balaw Balaw, Folk Art, Folk Food." We had arrived. Finally.
