This authentic scene captures a typical moment at a market in Boac, on the island of Marinduque in the Philippines. On the tiled stalls, a variety of fresh fish is carefully arranged, bearing witness to the region's maritime wealth. Hand-written labels indicate the prices, reflecting the traditional local trade.
In the foreground, a saleswoman uses a vibrant green fan to ward off insects, while ensuring the quality of her produce. In the background, other shopkeepers are busy, concentrating on their activities, illustrating the vitality of this meeting place. The scales and everyday objects here and there add to the authentic, lively atmosphere.
The market, an essential place to live, is not only a place for economic exchange but also a reflection of local traditions and culture. This image highlights the simplicity and richness of scenes from daily life in Marinduque, where fresh produce and human interaction take precedence over modernity.
