CEBU CITY, Philippines — Barangay Ermita’s Tabo sa Banay is a haven of retail finds with 250 former street vendors, who were displaced from their spots at Colon Street and Osmeña Boulevard.

Located on F. Gonzales Street, Tabo sa Banay is anyone’s go-to place for dry goods, fruits, drinks or snacks whether it’s early dawn shopping or a late-night discovery.

If you miss your Colon-style isaw (barbecued chicken intestine), you might just find your suki at Tabo sa Banay.

On Wednesday morning, October 9, CDN Digital gives you glimpse of what you can find at Tabo sa Banay.

In the middle of this intense heat that Cebuanos are experiencing, it’s always a good idea to slow down and hydrate.
