A hardworking vendor went viral and earned admiration from the online community for earning P2,000 per day selling fishballs.
A fishball vendor is someone who sells fishballs, which are a popular street snack in the Philippines. Fishballs are round, deep-fried balls made from fish paste, usually served on sticks. Vendors sell them in busy places like markets, near schools, or in parks.
Customers can dip the fishballs in different sauces, like sweet, spicy, or vinegar-based ones, depending on what they like. Fishball vendors are very common in the Philippines, and this snack is loved by many people because it’s tasty and easy to eat on the go.
