Palengke

Palengke A palengke is a type of public market common throughout the Philippines. This has resulted in what has been called "palengke mechanics".

A palengke is usually composed of several dozen stalls arranged in rows under a shared roof. Management is usually by the local governmental units whose jurisdiction encompasses the physical location of the markets. Certain pieces of legislation however, such as the Cooperatives Code (RA 7160) and the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act (RA 8435) have prescribed that management of the mark

ets be accomplished through cooperatives.[1] There is little control over the day-to-day management of individual stalls, including commodity pricing. A cited example would be the price of chicken during the local 2007 holiday season; lack of demand for the product resulted in prices going up rather than down. It was stated that this was the result of local retailers raising prices to recover financial losses from low demand.[2] The Philippine government retains some control over the price of some commodities sold in palengkes, especially critical foods such as rice.[3] The National Food Authority calls this regulation campaign (specifically for rice), Palengke Watch.[4]
