People seem to troop to this market every weekend.
The freshest goods from the sea are here.
Green, leafy, starchy...
Fruits in season, in full color and splendor...
Yes, you can even find japanese food, local regional goodies and processed meats in Aani.
All kinds of tinapa.... dried suahe....sinaing na tulingan...
Even the plant lovers will have blast at Aani.
.... and more... there was just not enough time to feature and capture them all.
And yes, a chapel awaits the church goers right in the heart of the marketplace. Quite unconventional for some. Maybe even unorthodox for others. This just goes to prove that even going to market has evolved with the times.
Go and see a weekend market near you. You will be surprised with what awaits you there.
That is so koool! Weekend Market in the P.I. same as our Farmer's Market here. I love going and shopping at out local farmers market here and close to my workplace. I find a lot of organically grown veggies and fruits at these markets. Talo kami sa Chapel sa market, wala kami niyan dito! Kool photos puwedeng-puwede ka na sa mga magazine features!
ReplyDeleteuy, pete, thanks for the kind words! encouraging yan ha. makes me want to learn more.
ReplyDeletesayang, i wasnt able to feature everything pa nga sa Aani eh. wala pa yung pets... the dining section... the DVD movie section... the handicrafts section... clothes and shoes section.. ay, sayang... :-)
Gita, in the bible, Jesus sent away the people who turned the house of God into a market place. In AANI, the people turned the market place into a place of worship too. Now that's marketing. The market is mrketing the market by putting up a place of worship. Kung magsisimba ka nga naman sa walang palengke, may pagpipilihan kang palengke. Pero kung ang palengke ay may simbahan, doon ka na mamimili pagkatapos mong magsimba. Pero alin kaya ang inuuna ng mga tao? Ang pamimili o yung pagsisimba? Ang daming tanong ano? Napapagusapan lang. Walang mapipikon.
ReplyDeleteGita, na-tyempuhan mo ba yung alimango? Mura ha.

bernie, i am probably one of the few who dont approve of bringing the mass out of the church. for me, it si only in a church where a mass should be celebrated. not inside a marketplace, not inside a mall. yes, bernie, masses are now held inside malls, along the corridors of the shopping centers. sad no!
ReplyDeletehouseband00, i pass by those crabs each and everytime! it is such a delight to see them diba! ya, mura nga crabs dun. but the prices are seasonal din. steep din pag pasko. but still lower compared to grocery prices.
ReplyDeletehmmmm, maybe i could blog a whole entry for those little crabs one of these days... thanks for the idea. ehehehe... and thanks for passing by. hugs to D.
Gita, of course you can bringthe mass outside the church for the purpose of celebrating the eucharist. but not for the purpose of attracting customers. Para bang sinasabi nila na dito na kayo mamili ng mabibili dahil may misa. Or dito kayo magsimba dahil may palengke. Kung ako ang pupunta sa AANI, dahil siguro sa mabibili, hindi dahil may misa bago mamili. Nagsisimba ako dahil gusto kong magsimba hindi dahil may palengke pagka simba. Namimili ako dahil may bibilhin ako hindi dahil may misa. Ang marketing nga naman ngayon. Pero malay natin? baka yung misa din ang nagma market. Dito kayo mag simba dahil may palengke. Nasa tao na rin kung alin ang priority. Pero bilib ako talaga sa marketing strategies ngayon dyan sa Pilipinas. Pilipino pa rin ako. At katoliko. Miss ko na ang Pilipinas, ang maganda at ang hindi maganda. Onli in da pilipins ika nga.
ReplyDeletenaku bernie, i guess traditionalist pa din ako. a mass for me cannot be for eucharistic celeb if not inside the church. laging may kakabit na 'marketing' yan if done outside.
ReplyDeletei remember when i first went to the US, nag mass kami ng mom ko. we had to wear our sunday's best, tapos we had to sit inside the church at the next available pew. you cant pick your seat. dapat the next free pew ang ioccupy. and they closed the doors pag late ka na. now, that, to me, is traditional, and most proper. para sa akin lang naman.
ganyan din naman noon dito sa atin eh. ewan ko ba kung anong nangyayari dito at nagbabago ang mga traditions.
onli in da pilipins talaga. tama ka... :-)
Nice feature Gita. Meron kaming Farmer's Market dito tapat ng Vassar College. Ewan ko lang kung may seafood(bawal ata). Siyempre kailangan ng refrigerated truck. 12 to 5 lang ng hapon. I know that in Manhattan they hold it sa Union Square and they have it on the weekends. Hayaan mo, i'll take some photos sometime.
