Fresh coriander can be found in Hypermart occasionally in the vegie cooler, under the cheese/butter. They call it Wansoy.
There is a place on the Balugo road about 500 meters or so up from the cemetary, that sells sawtooth coriander, AKA Thai coriander. The flavor is very similar to regular coriander, and it is stronger so it doesn't take as much. Look for a black gate on the right as you are going toward Valencia.
We bring back canned jalapenos from Cebu on a regular basis. A large can (737 grams) costs about P125 currently at Ayala. We tried growing Japapenos with limited success, also we have given seeds to other people with the same results. The plants do ok, but the fruit does not grow well. Very small and very mild.
We sell fresh homemade salsa and sour cream.
Hope this helps, Amigo!
