The DBP Tiangge (bazaar or flea market), held yearly on the second or third week of November, is mainly an exporters' fair. Garments, shoes, bags and other apparel, are sold cheaply for those who are brand-conscious but who don't want to spend thousands for a name.
Mind you, these are not knock-offs, but the real thing - the vendors are the makers themselves of the products which are under toll manufacturing agreements with international brands. Only that, some did not pass quality control, or have minor (read: negligible), or the line has been discontinued or has been outmoded.
Export products include handicrafts, furniture, dining and kitchenware, Christmas decor and other knick-knacks.
While the food is not for export, it takes up about 18% of the total bazaar space, and is a hodge-podge of regional delicacies, from Vigan longganiza and bagnet to Bataan tinapa (smoked fish) to Bicol pili. All in all an exciting tour and a great source of supplies to fill up household larders. And a lavish refreshment stop after lugging bayongs of tiangge goodies.
Also ever present are my perennial favorites, cheeseburger and diced hopia by Baker's Fare.
