Legend:

The name of Daet came from the word "DAE" which means "NO". Conquerors usually hold his conquered people in awe and fear. Just like when the Spaniards came to this place, the natives were naturally afraid and submissive. When they ask about the name of the place they thought that the Spaniards (Spanish Soldiers) were looking for persons guilty of some offense so they answered in unison "DAE". They did not understand each other’s language then. The Spaniards mistook their answers as to mean the name of place so they called the place DAE. As the name was handed from one generation to another it was later on changed to DAET. THUS, the name remained up to the present, DAET.

Iloilo City Central Public Market

Along Valera, Iznart and Jose Rizal Streets is the Iloilo Central Market. The public market building built during the early 20th century uses Deco motifs. This is evident in the step lintel and post opening of the covered walkway and the central tower, above the market’s main entrance. The tower served as the administrative office of the market.
