Every Friday night, the corner at Escario near the Capitol building goes on a faster pace. A big truck loaded with chickens, fruits, vegetables and charcoal becomes the center of all the commotion. Ever since the time of Governor Ting-Ting de la Cerna, vegetable entrepreneurs from Catmon have made their weekly pilgrimage to the Capitol. After his term, the vendors were moved to the parking lot in front of the Capitol post office and later to their current site at the Corner of Escario across Villalon Road.
So, the neighborhood has been blessed with easy access to fresh vegetables every weekend. However, these vegetables are not organically grown. No need to go to Carbon Market or head to the grocery. I think every neighborhood should have a local weekend market were people can come together and sell their produce or products. In Makati, they have a weekend organic market at the Salcedo Village.
