About this audio guide
This guide to Sugbo Mercado in Cebu City traces the market back to 2015, when a man named Nino and his friend J P set up a weekend food pop-up in an I T Park parking lot after trips abroad left Nino thinking about street food markets elsewhere. It follows the market's unplanned growth and the two disasters, a pandemic and a typhoon, that vendors rebuilt from table by table. Listen for what's grilling around you tonight, on what used to be an empty parking lot.
