El Mercado Local

Expect the impossible!

We are taking a pause, the slots for orders from Dec 19 - 31 are already full.

As we approach the holiday season, we would like to take this time to thank all of you for the support and trust you gave since we launched this year.

Your purchases and donations meant a lot to everyone, especially in making an impact to help our countrymen. From our partner merchants, farmers, fishermen and artisans, Maraming Salamat po

Stay tuned everyone, we’re preparing something better for you this coming year. See you soon!

As we pray for everyone who is severely affected by super typhoon Rolly—always prepare your emergency essentials, and stock up on food and water.

Remain indoors and avoid going out to avoid possible risks. Stay safe everyone!🙏

To continue our current efforts in helping the Dumagat-Remontado Tribe, we are still open for anyone who is willing to extend a helping hand by availing our Bayanihan Packs.

Our Bayanihan Pack is a ₱300 worth of groceries. We will be distributing these food packages once again to the Dumagat-Remontado tribe, that is, apparently, one of the most vulnerable to hunger amidst this pandemic.

As of this writing, we have already collected 67 Bayanihan Packs from our last visit along Marilaque Highway, and Sitio Pagsiko.

To see more Happy Faces of the Bayanihan Pack Movement, you can join this movement by availing the said package or by simply sharing this post—that way we can reach more and more people who will support our cause.

*We do accept any amount or in kind donations.

We heard you, and now they are here! Due to popular demand, Aklan Oysters are now available in our website!

Big, juicy and most importantly FRESH oysters, now within reach!

You may order by messaging us, or you may place your orders in our website: mercadolocalph.com ❤️

El Mercado Local is a proud partner of Tuwas Yakan! We want to highlight not only these beautifully hand-woven face masks, but also the skills and talents of our sisters in Basilan and Zamboanga who have been affected because of the recent chaos in Mindanao, up until now.

This pandemic has forced business owners to venture into digital, unfortunately, not everyone has the means to do so. Let us not forget to help those who have represented us in beauty, talent and creativity.

A simple purchase of their facemasks would be enough to help them battle this pandemic.

BAYANIHAN PACK MOVEMENT

El Mercado Local recently launched the “Bayanihan Pack Movement” for those who are gravely affected by this pandemic, and lost their livelihood in the process.

We featured the Dumagat-Remontado Tribe from Sitio Tablon in Tanay, Rizal as our beneficiaries for the first batch. But due to unforeseen circumstances, we were not able to enter the said area because of the strict community quarantine protocols.

However, we were still able to distribute it to the families along the Marilaque highway, and “Pagsiko” as they call it.

As a result of your generosity, we were able to give a total of 46 Bayanihan Packs to locals and tribe members.

We would like to thank you for being part of this movement. We hope that you will continue to join us and support our cause.

Sitio Tablon, we will be back!

We are very delighted to announce that we have officially partnered with Tuwas Yakan!

The Yakan tribe, originally from Basilan, Philippines, had to migrate to Zamboanga due to all the chaos and war brought upon their land. It is our duty to educate today's generation about all the great talents and products of the Yakan tribe, their tradition of weaving, and bring about their colorful patterns into the spotlight.

Evelynda Otong, founder of Tuwas Yakan, is a fourth generation weaver who has honored Yakan's pride by becoming the first ever Yakan weaver that was sent to London to showcase her brand and skills, and featured in PAL inflight magazine.

Today, as we keep up with the New Normal, we have extended our helping hand to our dearest Yakan weavers by providing them the opportunity to boost brand awareness even more here in Metro Manila, and eventually to other places.

El Mercado Local is delighted to announce that Burias Dried Seafoods and Everyday Fresh Seafoods are offically our merchant partners!

Burias Dried Seafoods is a small business run by a group of fishermen from Burias Islands in Masbate. Everyday Fresh Seafoods, on the other hand, is a company that aims to aid groups of fishermen from different places such as Palawan, Bataan, and Bulacan.

As both businesses, and all fishermen are directly affected by this pandemic, it is our advocacy, , to support domestic fisheries and boost the livelihood of our local fishermen. We believe that by providing them the opportunity to share their catch to a WIDER market will ultimately help them in terms of increasing the awareness of their own brand, and developing their ability to connect and trade as competitive seafood providers moving forward.

Maraming salamat po! 🇵🇭❤️

We only have one thing in mind.

It is about time to recognize the faces behind the local products we use everyday, listen to their stories, and finally give what they truly deserve.

Kwentong Pinoy muna ang ating ibida. Kwentong sariling atin muna.

Today, we are proud to announce that we are officially launching El Mercado Local!

Bold products. Reasonable price.

A showcase to bring forth the distinct finishes of the Filipino spirit! 🇵🇭

It is our goal to enable small Filipino entrepreneurs gain a wider share of the market using the new way of doing business—digital. To bring this about, we will put our company in a strategic position to offer suppliers and consumers every advantage in business where it counts most—awareness and accessibility. In doing so, we hope to achieve our stated mission: provide an e-commerce platform for small-scale Filipino sellers and buyers to connect and trade.

Yes, this is the place where your purchase is your movement.

We believe that supporting the livelihood of every ingenious and hardworking Filipino is the only way to jumpstart economic empowerment once again.

Maraming salamat po!
