The Economics of Bananaque

The big and small of Philippine Economy



You could find it in the side streets and in small stalls... The small 'people' who make the Philippine Economy run. From a simple Bananaque vendor who buys her sugar from a government subsidized rolling store and her bananas exported from the South through government built roads and commercially run shipping companies, her 8-peso bananaque earns her a living just for 1 of her daughters.

Simple Recipe for bananaque:
1. Preheat oil in Frying pan.
2. Peel bananas and add them into hot oil.
3. Add brown sugar. Make sure the sugar sticks to the banana (this may be tricky)
4. Serve on bar-b-q sticks with about 2 bananas per stick.
