The Teodoro Arcenas Trade Center has the distinction of
being of the Western Visayas’ biggest and cleanest public market. If you want
some of the freshest produce in town, all you need to do is catch a tricycle
and tell the driver to take you to Lipunan,
as we locals fondly call it. It used to be called Bagong Lipunan Trade Center, until it was later renamed in the 90s,
if I am not mistaken.
Whether you’re looking for the freshest seafood (all at fairly
affordable prices) or you are looking for fruits, vegetables, or even ukay-ukay, then, the TATC is your all-in-one,
one-stop hub.
Professional photographer Eric Bryn Tonito lovingly captured TATC
in the images below. From the yummy seafood to the ever-active vendors, Tonito’s
zest for catching lives actions to still images will really make you feel like
you’re right there and then.

| Fresh prawns sell for around P400 a kilo, but they're way cheaper than in Iloilo or Manila. If you see them sold at TATC, don't hesitate to buy them! |

| The fish market at Teodoro Arcenas Trade Center is teeming with light-hearted vendors who are willing to give discounts on your purchases. Take a shopping spree here and you'll go home with seafood delights, from fresh fish and shrimps to crabs and shells. |
