Synonymous to Baguio are the strawberries being sold at the Central Market in downtown. Jams, candies and fresh fruits are being sold here, on a cheap price unlike here in the malls of Manila. But where do they get these luscious temptations of red?
The town of La Trinidad is just 5-10 minutes away from downtown Baguio City. Being the capital of the province of Benguet and part of the urban sprawl of Cordilleras, it stands as the vegetable hub or bagsakan in Filipino. Here, they sell vegetable at farm price to the suppliers who would then sell it to the merchants of Manila and beyond. Veggies here are cheap too.
