Virac Public Market

Did I say I now declare my self a vegetarian?

Among the main produce of Catanduanes are softbrooms. Tiger Grass or "Lasa" are being grown in the uplands and harvested for broom making.

I'd been shooting the brooms at the stall when this Arabo suddenly popped into the frame. 

Virac Public Market

It was market day. Locals from the hinterlands bring their produce to the market, most are root crops, coconuts, firewood, bananas, vegetables. Most fruits and vegetables come from the mainland.





Coconut milk (gata) is one of the traditional dishes of the Bicolanos, almost all vegetables are cooked with coconut milk.
