  • One Day Guide to Salcedo Saturday Market
  • As the popular proverb goes, the early bird gets the worm and indeed you will when you go to the Salcedo Market early every Saturday. They open at 7:00 am and end at 2:00 pm, but it’s always best to go early to get the freshest and steaming hot dishes that are offered there. Wander around alone or with a companion and find interesting things along the way. Every time you go shopping and eating, you’ll  discover unexpected bargains.

    The Salcedo Market is a place to go to every Saturday, not only for shopping but also as a way to communicate to the different communities and people of Makati. Let Philippine Primer tour you around for one day and explore different places!
