‘Mobile palengke’ brings fresh meat, produce to Batangas residents in quarantine

Residents in Dumantay, Batangas City were able to stock up on food during enhanced community quarantine, thanks to a “mobile palengke” that stopped by on Thursday.

According to YouScooper Jervis Buela, the “Magkatuwang Tayo” mobile palengke was selling fresh fruits, fish, pork, poultry, and veggies from inside a jeepney.

Buela took note that the vendors were all wearing facemasks, and that residents were instructed to bring their own reusable shopping bags.

Shopping has become quite a struggle for some as Luzon is under enhanced community quarantine, an attempt to arrest the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

The government has also bared plans to extend the current quarantine period as the death toll rose to 96 as of Wednesday, while 2,311 have tested positive.? — Margaret Claire Layug/LA, GMA News
