Talipapa
- Center of People's Economics
Dr Abe V Rotor
Biking through, like drive in buying.
Market's birthplace,
the primordial concept of commerce,
beginning of exchange of goods by barter,
where barter evolved into trade;
flea market, local version, unique,
beautiful, distinctly Filipino;
a place for thrifty spending,
classless marketing;
it's people's economics,
family enterprise,
where business is unlimited -
outlet of farm surplus
so with home made crafts;
where transaction is by bargaining,
the suki system as an institution;
it's the "nerve center" of daily activities,
growth center of social and economic life
on the grassroots,
fallback of the economy in crisis,
where the ordinary vendor,
like the unknown soldier
is an unsung hero. ~

Freshness and accessibility are features of talipapa
"Stretching the peso" is another talipapa's feature.
