Looking for a new weekend market to try in Manila? Good news, Intramuros is opening one that can be enjoyed for three months! You can check it out from October 7th to December 30th. Dubbed as the very first eco market in the Philippines, Old Manila Eco Market was conceptualized in partnership with Intramuros Administration. It is surely a one of a kind weekend market where selected social entrepreneurs and small-scale businesses around the country are invited to showcase their world-class products and services.
What you need to know about Old Manila Eco Market
• A zero-waste market where plastic is banned. Merchants are to sell their products in eco-friendly
packaging while market-goers are encouraged to bring their own utensils, lunch boxes, and eco
bags for their purchases.
• A healthy-living market where selling sodas and food with preservatives will not be allowed. A fresh
fruit and vegetable stall will be set-up right in the middle of the market for the market-goers --
foodies and health buffs alike can get their weekly produce supply at the eco market.
• A child and pet friendly market where kids of all ages, families of all sizes and kind are encouraged
to bond with their family and friends over a Sunday of good food.
• A Filipino market. Priority is given to booths that will showcase Filipino brands. The eco market
wants to provide that much-needed exposure to small entrepreneurs and hence, it prioritizes giving
booth slots to social enterprises that are directly tied-up to marginalized communities. Selling
counterfeit and sub-standard items will not be allowed.
Indeed, The Old Manila Eco Market is a weekend market that Manila can call its very own! With the rise in
consciousness of Filipinos about zero-waste and healthier lifestyle, there is now a huge demand for
availability of more sustainable products and services in the market. Manileños do not have to travel very
far anymore and can stay away from heavy traffic jams, giving them more time to bond with their families.
By supporting the event, you will also help promote Philippine tourism and heritage conservation.
What I am so looking forward is that shopping at Old Manila Eco Market means also visiting our historic Intramuros. I will surely have time to visit my all-time favorites such as the Manila Cathedral, San Agustin Church, the Plaza Roma and many more.
