Description

A livestock and produce market in Barangay Maluay, Zamboanguita, open only on Wednesday mornings — quiet the rest of the week. Farmers bring pigs, goats, cows, and water buffalo to trade alongside fresh produce, dried fish, guinamos (shrimp paste), second-hand clothing, handmade machetes, and freshly cooked lechon — genuinely a working livestock market rather than a tourist market dressed up as one. Sits right at the entrance to the public port that boats to Apo Island depart from, so it pairs naturally with an Apo Island day trip if timed for a Wednesday — snorkeling trips can be arranged cheaply straight from the port here rather than booking a pricier tour from Dumaguete proper. About 24km/40 minutes south of Dumaguete City.
