Oh well be attentive with flower vendors. First, they dont have fix prices. Second, if your buying by bundles DO NOT PURCHASE HERE or around MAHARLIKA.Their prices is thrice from the trading post.
Extra challenge from market to Victory terminal if you carry around 40lbs worth of pasalubong hehe! Mostly uphill. There are friendly kids at the market offering to carry your load for a fee.
Speak Tagalog and be ready to walk away if the deal isn't good. Or haggle a bit. But definitely great deals to be found here especially the produce and brooms
What a livelymarket! It has all I need: from pasalubong to fresh veggies to meat and dry goods. When buying, bring on that native tongue. Ilocano-speaking tourists are more likely to get bargains!
For those who want a unique photo op in the citymarket, go to Hilltop. Many willing and friendly vendors are up there. Great place to check out some ukay-ukay stores as well.
A bundle of roses should be 2 dozens or 24 pcs. Vendors may trick you that a bundle is just a dozen. It happens. Most of the time. Thats part of the biz.
Baguio City was established by Americans in 1900 at the site of an Ibaloi village known as Kafagway. The name of the city is derived from the word bagiw in Ibaloi, the indigenous language of the Benguet Region, meaning 'moss'.
