i think a worldwide recession is in the works (hope it goes away soon, times are really hard), i don't know how to say it (i'm no economist! hehehe) but the bite is certainly felt everywhere. but look at these photos, i just took them this morning, and you'll realize that people certainly will make it despite the skyrocketing prices...
i saw this fresh buko (young coconut) vendor infront of Meralco's Bacoor branch (near the SM mall)
busyly arranging his goods (new clothes for sale at low prices), i saw this vendor at the street corner infront of Asiatrust Bank near SM Bacoor
this vendor sells rags he was hawking at EDSA near the LRT/MRT EDSA-Taft stations
this vendor was balancing some native candy products, like pastillas (made of carabao's milk and native fruits and some dried and candied banana chips, as well as candied peanuts)
one of the metro's favorite shopping districts (next to Divisoria), this portion of Baclaran is next to the Baclaran church. those stalls are there on a temporary lease. there are more stalls further near the LRT Baclaran station, a lot of them are airconditioned too. even the country's rich socialites buy there at Baclaran and Divisoria specially during holidays...
