Different Products Sold in the Philippines Back in the Day

In the Spanish era where cellphones, high-end gadgets and even cars are not sold in the market in our present day. Life before was simple literally because products that are sold are merely for the needs of people and not for their necessity. Because nowadays people buy more goods which they want but they primarily they do not need which is not healthy. So I am here to give you a glimpse of what the Filipinos back in the day are selling in the market and in the streets.
