I had so much fun at this market. I spent almost a half hour with the wonderful ladies in the video selling charcoal cooked banana. They were so fun to hang out with and were so funny. They are both former school mates who are now retired from being accountants. Super smart, super funny, and super sweet! There is no place in the world where you can enjoy time with people that you just met like here in the Philippines!
It is funny you mention that I was told today that the market knows everything going on in town with gossip! The selection at the market is unreal to me.
Now this is what you call great content. I'm gonna recommend this to my family. Digos is a kinda small city compared to Davao, but all of a sudden you'll be amazed bout the no. of great places that Digos offers, especially in Kapatagan. Hope you'll always make these wonderful vlogs and also hoping someday you'll be able to tour around Mindanao better yet around the Philippines. 🙏
I’ve been to 2 wet markets in the Philippines both in the far north in the Cagayan Valley province. The first was in Sanchez Mira. The 2nd was in Claveria. Neither of these was as big as the one you showed but still were quite an eye opening experience to my western eyes.
I love the cleanliness of the market place...it adds to the attraction of all the friendships likely to be made. I certainly will be spending my AMERICAN money in places like seen in this video!!
Love market day, well other than carrying the heavy bags, had to get one of those carts. The people are so nice, and by now most of the sellers in our market know me, perks of there being almost no foreigners here.
You are so brave to be in the Philippines specially in the south. I also enjoy in the market buying fresh fish and fresh produce. Most of the food here is organic and wild catch.
A lovely self-contained and self-sufficient community in Digos. Wow! GOOD presentation and I like how orderly and clean the overall appearance of the market. You must check out the Nigerian market where they sell meat hahaha.
I am from Digos and it's interesting to see it here on youtube. Thank you for featuring Digos City in your vlogs. ^_^ More Power and God Bless! Enjoy Digos and the Philippines!
Thank you for this nice video. I now have an idea how our wet market in Digos looks like recently. I am from Digos also but gone there for almost 20 years. I did not come to the wet market during my vacations.
Thank You! I was told the old one burned down a few years ago and recently someone said that the city is going to build a new one. Cannot imagine how much the town has changed in 20 years. The last 7 has been vast changes.
@@DrLawaytravels Ow another new market to be built... exciting. I am missing all the sea foods I saw in the video. Just imagine, I am living here in south Germany where at least 6 hours drive to the sea. Sea foods here are so expensive, limited and of course the quality is different from what we have in the Philippines. Thank you again.
I was assigned there alone before in Davao del Sur Digos City from mid -2014 to 2016. I stayed in banggay and I really miss that place, especially the food, and the people are very friendly. simple life for snacks just go for daddy's pizza and for delicious authentic balbacua Bblr eatery near new g-mall and get drunk near the plaza at night 😁 on a weekends if you can think of the sea just go to dawis. You can even barely see the milkyway with naked eye at early predawn 3am. I wish i could go back there 🙂🙂🙂 thanks for this kind of content. ❤️❤️❤️
OMG…nice fresh veges, fruits, fish, meat, and shellfish! The grilled banana looks yummy! Thank you for showing the wet market of Digos! Take care and enjoy your new lifestyle…💕☕️
One of the things i miss in the philippines......FRESH FOOD. Job opportunity might be here to where i am now, but i am tired of FROZEN GROCERY SHOPPING. Veggies a plentiful here in our grocery but nothing beats the WET MARKET EXPERIENCE IN THE PHILIPPINES
2:09 OOH! I HAVE SEEN MY AUNT JUST RIGHT THEIR BEHIND YOUR BACK WEARING BLACK T-SHIRT SMILING AS YOU WE’RE TALKING TO THE TWO OLD LADY VENDORS ALONG SIDE THE STREET. MY AUNT “AYING” MY DAD’S SISTER.
Always enjoy going to Market Day. Mrs. Rick's hometown is a fishing village so the fishmonger section is always huge and well-stocked with most anything you can imagine being pulled out of the West Philippine Sea. Most of the time she tolerates me, but if she is on the lookout for a bargain she sends me over to the other side of the market so she doesn't have to pay the "American tax" for being with me. 😁The most amazing thing is she always runs into somebody she hasn't seen for 50 or 60 years like old high school/grade school classmates. If it's not an old friend, there is usually at least a dozen relatives roaming around the market. I usually wander over and check out the goods for sale while they catch up on old times and memories.
u might realize by now that the Lakatan banana variety tastes soooo much better than the generic Cavendish bnana sold everywhere in North America. Lucky for u to be living in that part of the Phils.
Wow! Davao has their own twist with the classic Banana-que (or Banana-Q) by grilling it. They also call it "Maruya" for reasons unknown to me. In Manila, and most provinces, bananaque is usually fried. It has a caramelized texture as they coat it with brown or white sugar.
Grilled banana is called Ginanggang in Davao. Maruya is the spread out banana then coated with batter then fried. Banana cue is the fried version with carmelized sugar. Turon is the usual wrapped in lumpia wrapper with langka.
Dude! What kind drone you got? Hello sir. You can feel ok & secure operating it around markets? I'm bringing my Skydio2 end of October, but props kinda noisy so plan on using in open field only. Had a much quieter mini 2 before. So tell me more, how you get away with it?
and u probably realize by now Phils sell foods by the kilos, not in lbs. BTW, u cn ask for the fish to be cleaned, degutted and cut accdg to ur need. So with meat. Seafoods are fresh catch and great for grills. Balikbayans would feast on seafoods whenever they r on a visit in the Phils. Westerners on the other hand are not big on fish... except for some filleted like salmon, sole, basa (imported also from.Asia) not very many know how to eat fish bone in.
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO CHECK IF A FISHIS FRESH? i DO i AM A SPORTFISHERMAN DO YOU KNOW THE DIFERENCES OF THE TUNAS? tHE BIGGEST THEY DO NOT HAVE THAT IS? BUT THEY HAVE NO 2 yELLOWFIN
I'm really trying to like your content. I'm an American born Filipino and I watch a lot of travel and food vlogs, especially with Philippines content. It seems like your videos are missing something that might get you over that edge. Maybe sometimes feature your family? Your kids? your wife? Have an adventure? IDK but i really wish you well and success. Hope you don't take it the wrong way. just some constructive criticism. God bless!

Keep safe and enjoy your stay here in the Philippines
Thanks so much!

Try to visit the wet market in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. You'll be amaze by the varieties of marine products they have there.
I love watching you guyz buying things in in the local market

New subscriber here , and watching the videos makes me want to come back home to my beautiful country the Philippines 🇵🇭 👍✌️❤️💚
very impressed on how clean that wet market looked. great job on everyone keeping up the standards 👍
banana per kilo here in City of Manila is 70 pero kilo.shrimp here 480 per kilo
Ouch much higher. Almost double there. Thanks for sharing
They have a market like this in Laoag city ilocos Norte where my wife is from.
Almost all the market's will be crowded when you go but I always enjoyed walking thru the maand looking at everything. Always something new.
good thing your vlog went into the deeper of way of living and surviving of the Filipinos.
That looked like a fun experience 😄
Hello good video. Just caught your channel i will be coming back to Davao next month
Super cool! returning for good or vacation?

Nice! It is a small town in some ways here!
Hello to all of you (especially to you Cebuanos) where I'm to call home one day!
Missing Palengke (wet market) like this
🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭❤️❤️❤️ welcome to the Philippines sir❤️❤️❤️

Food is in ABUNDANCE in the Philippines. NO one must starve.
Its like a maze... There will be a new public market to be built in Digos and a Mall owned by the Government.
I had not heard that. Wonder where they are going to put the new mall
welcome to digos sir
Thanks! I really love Digos, it has grown so much in the last 5 years
how I miss my hometown

In Manila, and most provinces, bananaque is usually fried. It has a caramelized texture as they coat it with brown or white sugar.
I have had the way you describe in Manila several times. This was new to me but good.
Grilled banana is called Ginanggang in Davao.
Maruya is the spread out banana then coated with batter then fried.
Banana cue is the fried version with carmelized sugar.
Turon is the usual wrapped in lumpia wrapper with langka.
I also miss ginanggang. I don’t see it in Luzon. So We just make it at home.
There is no equivalent to ginanggang so to foreigners we just call it banana cue. LOL
@@ELEAByahera that one is present in Cebu and Masbate markets or streets too...
Do they have celery there?
Dude! What kind drone you got?
Hello sir.
You can feel ok & secure operating it around markets? I'm bringing my Skydio2 end of October, but props kinda noisy so plan on using in open field only. Had a much quieter mini 2 before.
So tell me more, how you get away with it?
DJI mini 2 was used in this vid. Very good for more urban work or when you need to travel light.
And yet many Americans think that we do not have food to eat in that country.
Most Filipinos say apol for apple, pineapol for pineapple, exampol for example, shiiiir for sir.mehiko for Mexico in Pampanga kapampangan.

yes most venders will filet the fish you buy but only after they weigh it,
Phuc map (Brandon Hurley) is to Vietnam. You can so be the Philippine version 🤣 I so see it! 🙌🏼👊🏼
Whahahha 😂😂😂 that market is very loud
Very! but really fun
Love tuna steak too...
I went back again and got swordfish, I had never tried it...amazing!

Too much fish on this market :))) Where's the meat?!? :)

World Wide issue. Older the Tuna or any other predator fish for that matter the more is in their system. At least that is my understanding

Epic seafoods
Went back and got me a tuna steak!
I lived in Digos 11 years in Estrada St. what’s the name of your wife , maybe I know her..hmm you ginangang saging haha I miss it..

nice video. it is nice if you learn some basic dialect or filipino word for easy transactions. =)
That's the plan! Working on Bisaya which is what my family speaks and is more common in the Southern Philippines
@@DrLawaytravels nice. good to know you are breaking the language barrier. =)
Laway is laoai in Chinese or in Filipino its saliva... youve stayed in China?
Never been to China. I was told in Vietnam it means foreigner, not sure if they were correct or not
@@DrLawaytravels ur right, laoai is foreigner in china. Welcome to my hometown digos. U still around?
Ginanggang!!!
wow so cheap fruits over there.
