In a fishing village 15 km north of the city proper of Puerto Princesa, the porch or veranda functions as the market, a place where buyer and sellers of fishery products meet. Buyer here is in the singular, because there is only one reigning in that porch, the one fishers and their wives call their amo. This buyer is known in the literature as a middleman, or as I prefer to call them, a middleperson, because many are women. Armed with a calculator, sheets of lined paper, and cash, she sits on her desk and takes notes as each fisher or family member weighs their day’s catch of octopus, cuttlefish, stonefish, abalone, or fish. This scene is repeated daily in Aplaya, a fishing village along the coast of Honda Bay in Palawan.
