New Direction going to Naga City Public Market (for non-Nagueño)

That's right, new direction to Naga City public market. Back in November of 2008 the second and third floors of the three-story public market and more than 700 stalls were burned(caused by a single candle). The owners of burned stalls were relocated at a new vicinity located along Abella Street. So if you want to go to the market you will have to tell the tricycle driver that you're going to the market at Abella( If you just say market the driver will take you to the old market place).

The new market place along Abella

I went to the market with Ate Nits(my mom) and had this chance to talk with one of the vendors in the market, The transcript of the conversation is written below (in Bikol, translated in English, I tried my best in translating the words :-
)).

Pathfinder: Anong oras po kamo nagbubukas digdi?
(What time do you open?)

Stall Owner: Mga alas dos nin aga noy, minsan alas tres.
(We open the store by 2:00AM or sometimes at 3:00AM)

Pathfinder: Amayon man po, may nagbabakal naman arog kayan na oras?
(That's too early, are there buyers around those times?)

Stall Owner: Iyo noy, dakul na yan, ang mga nagbabakal digdi si may mga tindahan man, mas barato kaya kung digdi ka mabakal, saka kung gusto mo la'bas pang gulay, sira, karne dapat talaga amay ka, pag nag digdi ka nin alas-sais na si mga tada-tada na lang kayan maabotan mo.
(Yes, a lot of them are store owners too, they'll sell it somewhere else, it's cheaper to buy goods here and you get to choose the fresh ones, if you'll be here by 6:00AM chances are you'll get the left-overs).

This is the proper way of helping someone in weighing bananas

Pathfinder: Papano po maaaraman kung may daya ang kilohan?
(How will I know if the weighing scale is not accurate?)

Stall Owner: Mayong daya ang kilohan ko noy, pero ang iba dyan igwa, may nagdadakop man sa mga madaya sa kilohan. Saka, tano ka baya kadakulon hapot, mabakal ka?
(Mine's accurate, but some vendors' are cheating when it comes to weighing scale, don't worry, there's a team monitoring it, and why are you asking too much questions, are you going to buy?).

Pathfinder: Naghahapot lang po, pero salamat pong maray.
(I'm just asking, thank you so much for taking time answering my questions)

One thing I noticed about the vendors at the new Naga City public market is that they are very friendly and very polite. And yes, the price of commodity here is relatively cheap and fresh.
