In every market in the tropical Philippines, vast quantities of ice are needed to keep fresh produce cool, especially fish.

This ice is produced in large blocks by so-called ice plants. Here, the ice dealers at the markets collect it themselves or it is delivered.

These blocks are then purchased in whole or in part by the market stall owners. It is also sold in bags as crushed ice.

Here I was able to film one of the ice dealers at the public market in Dumaguete, right next to the fish landing.
