CitY's FruiTStanD nOw a VarietY StanD


For those who are pioneers of Cotabato many places in the city has become part of many Cotabateños daily life and routine.  The Cotabato fruitstand which in the early 80’s were just shanties where you see  variety of fresh fruits produced in South Central Mindanao.

The city was one of the economic hubs in Mindanao during those years, many residents, businessmen and tourist finds the best quality of fruits here.  The stalls were donated by Coca Cola which was handled by  Cotabato City Central Pilot Elementary School since it is located beside the school.


In 1985, the stalls became semi permanent and with lights later it has evolve into a variety of stands like the bakeshop, fax and Xerox services and many others.  The long stretch of stalls also includes the city’s barbeque stands that were earlier featured.

After the stalls went on fire several months ago, the stall were constructed into a more permanent and durable structure which can stand for a longer period of time.
