    Descriptive Essay : Dulag Marketplace

    Dulag is a municipality composed of 45 barangays and a dense

    population of approximately 50, 000. Based on these figures, it is

    apparent that the town is a large community with accumulating needs.

    Fortunately, it has a public market that suffices just exactly as what

    Dulagnons need not only as consumers but also as sellers.

    As a relatively big town itself, Dulag has a public market that

    occupies a whole block. Most public markets here in the Philippines,

    especially in rural areas, are located at the center of town which makes

    it a favourable area for lots of businesses. Just like the traditional

    Spanish set up, Dulag public market is surrounded by a school, a

    church, the plaza and the municipal hall. As a result, the market is easily

    accessible to residents with the help of public transit like the habal-

    habal (single motorcycle), pot-pot (modified bicycle with a side-car),

    and tricycles.
    Before becoming modernized as it is at present, the Dulag public

    market has suffered several unfortunate events which temporarily

    stopped some businesses. These are instances like getting caught by

    fires or being devastated by typhoons. Ironically, these disasters have

    made a way for the market to be structurally modernized. Catastrophic

    events does not only cause a temporary loss for consumers but more

    importantly, a loss of capital and profit for sellers and these impact the

    economy of the whole town. To prevent this, the local government of

    Dulag formulated ways to fashion the market to be resilient in case of

    calamities. From the traditional by-the-road trades, the public market

    also has new buildings now that are better places for vendors.

    The public market is also a manifestation of the geography and

    people of Dulag. The outskirts of town are mostly wide farmlands so it

    is not surprising that a lot of Dulagnons depend on farming for

    livelihood. Every Thursday is a big day for these people. This is the so-

    called tabu day where vendors from different parts of the province
    gather to sell their goods. Of course, Dulagnons also participate in this.

    This is where they sell their freshly harvested root crops, vegetables

    and some fruits. Sidewalks are often stuffed with vendors and buyers

    who wish to purchase their products at the lowest price. The roads are

    also made vibrant by carts loaded with various spices. Moreover, Dulag

    is a coastal town facing the Pacific Ocean hence the considerable

    amount of fisher folks in town. The wet market is often jam-packed

    with buyers seeking to purchase fresh from the net fishes. Aside from

    all of these, other commodities are also being sold like kitchen wares,

    second-hand clothes or our infamous ukay-ukay, toys, traditional

    Waray delicacies, etc.

    To keep up with the accumulating needs of the people, the Dulag

    public market has evolved in a way that accommodated these needs.

    Pharmacies and dental clinics have been established to support health

    care. A relatively huge department store has also been constructed for

    varying needs. In addition, pastry shops, bakeries and eateries have


    constantly aided hungry stomachs from shopping and pasalubong

    needs. Needless to say, farmers and fishers have been depending on

    agricultural stores of the public market. Finally, boutiques, gift shops,

    electronic shops, internet cafes, motor parts stores are among the

    other businesses that have been opened to aid Dulagnons and

    neighbouring communities.

    The Dulag public market is a vital part of every Dulagnon’s life. It

    does not only allow access to goods and services. More importantly, it

    honors the historical legacy of the town and highlights the values and

    local culture of the community where it is found. It brings together the

    members of the community, local businessmen and visitors to

    recognize and celebrate the role of these public spaces and their roles

    in creating a foundation of values for the community.
