Folks who live in the Ortigas area searching for a place where they can buy delicious food, shop for snacks and groceries, and engage in community activities can head to Emerald Avenue, which is a carless street on weekends, but is also home to the Ortigas Market from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.Started last October 2022, the Ortigas Market is a physical platform of what was once an online group of sellers who had to pivot during the pandemic.
The Market attracts different kinds of clientele, depending on the time slot. The 5 a.m. crowd consists of call center employees, as Emerald Avenue houses around 54 call centers. At 8 a.m. onwards, it’s families and Ortigas residents, mostly condominium dwellers, all of them excited for their Saturday morning to early afternoon treat.The Ortigas Market also supports local agriculture.
Mayani is an organization that consolidates produce from small farmers all over the country and sells them directly to businesses or consumers. While most of their commerce happens online via their website, they have a physical stall in the Market where shoppers can buy fresh fruits and vegetables for their weekly meals.
