It has been probably almost 2 years since I was in the Philippines. So this E-bike thing is something new to me. This 2 back seater extension motorcycle is a little more expensive than the jeepneys but still if you need to go home badly this is still better than taxi.
Anyhoos now I went to the Tabo-an market to buy a colleagues' requested dried fish.
I was kind of shocked to know that 1 kl. of Danggit dried fish costs around 700php.
I only bought 300 worth as per budget given by my colleague.
Then I posted this on facebook and was even more shookt that 700 is even cheaper
at times it goes up 800 to 1000php.
This is absolutely not a poor man's fish. People making this as a business are making a fortune.
Imagine probably getting more than those nice smelling office workers whose basic rate per day is 500php. Im sure some of these fish market vendors either earn 1k-10k per day if lucky to get a sale from huge buyers/resellers.
Some people are cut out for business some people are satisfied with the office and minimum wage pay like I do at times.
What a day trip it was.
Keep safe everyone.
I went there before any lockdowns and reported cases in the Philippines.
