the clearest of days

Sunday organic market

at the Centris Walk in Quezon City

on the clearest of days


…you can’t miss it — see the three-storey-high  flying-saucer-like or mushroom-like structures that provide shade, and the red two-storey-high rectangular pillars for … wind-direction…? or to catch the light


EDSA corner Quezon Avenue. Or, on Q Av from the east side  of EDSA, it’s to your left… or, it’s your left-east corner of EDSA-Q Av, or the south-east corner of EDSA-Q Av. Market hours  Sundays only 5:30 am to 2pm; if you’re walking, you can get in anytime, no problem; if in a vehicle, you have to get in at 6am (very early) or 12 noon (very late) or past 12 when most shoppers have left. Otherwise: if you’re getting in between 8am and 12 noon, it’s bedlam, unless you have a driver “idling” for you double-parked/ obstructing/ in the middle of the entrance – exit, walkway/ easement/ road — nakahambalang (blocking everyone and everything who has  a right of way because they’re stalking anyone and anything who might leave a slot to give them space)


you have to choose your stalls by referral, not all are truly organic, even if labelled so — Eli Organics and The Organic Cooperative by  OPTA  come highly recommended; those who eat raw leaves — choose the “certifiedly” organic
