A2–B10:37
I love the noise of a busy market.
Mahal ko ang ingay ng palengke.
It feels like a living thing.
Parang may buhay ito.
Voices call out prices and names.
Sumisigaw ang mga tao ng presyo.
Sellers shout to get my attention.
Sumisigaw sila para mapansin ko.
I smell fish, fruit, and fried food.
Amoy isda, prutas, at prito.
The air is thick and warm.
Makapal at mainit ang hangin.
I walk slowly through the crowd.
Dahan-dahan akong naglalakad.
People bump my shoulders and bags.
Sasalo ako ng mga tao.
It is chaotic but also beautiful.
Magulo pero maganda rin.
I feel alive in this mess.
Nararamdaman kong buhay ako.
Every face tells a different story.
Iba-iba ang kwento ng bawat mukha.
The market is a small world.
Maliit na mundo ang palengke.
The Pulse of the Market
