Filipino Identity, Culture & Diaspora

Al Muraqqabat, Deira Kabayan Night Market sits along 37th Street in Al Muraqqabat, a familiar stretch in Deira where many Filipinos gather after work. February 8, 2022. Tintin and J.F. That evening, TinTin and I found a small table beneath the lights and ordered dinner. Around us were the usual sounds — utensils against plates, Tagalog conversations, and the tired laughter that follows long shifts. For many OFWs, places like this are more than just night markets. They are temporary commons — where distance from home feels slightly smaller, even if only for a meal. Photographed on Sony a6000.
