The embedded player is convenient for previewing the video, but interactive look-around controls can be limited in some browsers. Open the original on YouTube for reliable 360° controls. If the picture looks soft, use Settings → Quality and choose at least 1440p, ideally 2160p or higher when available and your connection can handle it.
How to watch 360° video →About this 360° tour
COVID-19, quarantine, lockdown, social distancing...is all we hear about these days during the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Unlike the millions of panic-buyers stocking up their pantries during the days and weeks leading up to the lockdowns, my pantry, fridge and freezer were running low on ingredients, so it was time for me to venture out seizing a short window of opportunity left open by local government authorities here in a now ghost town of Carmona, Cavite, Philippines. In this 360° video I buy some groceries in the Supermarket at Waltermart Carmona.
About this recording

Why public markets are worth filming in 360°
Public markets are some of the most useful places in the archive for showing ordinary life in the Philippines. The goal is not only to document where stalls are located, but to preserve the mix of products, voices, routines and small processes that can be unfamiliar to viewers abroad or nostalgic for people who have not visited a particular market in years.
Depending on the market, a 360° walk may show fresh fish and produce, tofu-making, coconut processing, pasalubong, cooked food, local transport terminals and the way shoppers and vendors interact. Markets in different parts of the country can feel noticeably different in product mix, language, clothing and layout.
For visitors, the simplest etiquette is to keep passageways clear, handle food and merchandise respectfully, and ask before making a person the deliberate subject of a close-up photo or recording. Market rules vary by city and municipality, so posted local rules should take priority. The Philippine sanitation code also emphasizes keeping aisles unobstructed and proper handling of food in public markets.
