Shopping in the Philippines

so where can we find this specific place?i have been to divisoria but i find it too crowded..and not safe..especially for a provinciana like me, i hate crowds and i hate traffic..it is just a waste of time...i have to admit i can find lots of good cheap items in divisoria but can you tell me other places and shops?

I have always wondered why the Philippines has never been marketed as a shopping destination. We don't even have to talk of overruns or surplus items because the price of even branded products are comparatively cheaper here than most places. That's why I appreciate the effort of the Department of Tourism to market RP as a shopping destination. In fact, last September they had that kind of promotion. How do you attract foreigners to come visit and shop around? You simply emphasize we have most of the boutique shops that they find elsewhere, but their money (usually dollars) will go a long, long way if they spend it here. We don't even have to put discounts on prices, because as Secretary Ace Durano has said, our prices are already competitive. It really is one way to boost our economy and help local retailers. Because let's face it, local retailers are already learning to develop and produce quality goods especially in apparel and accessories.

Hi! I love shopping in the Philippines and I really miss doing that. When I want imported branded items, I go to Greenhills because they are cheaper there. I have also learned to love Philippine-made clothes that are branded, like Kamiseta and Bayo. A lot of people here in the States have been asking me where I get my clothes and shoes from. You will be surprised but I see more "made in USA" brand items in the Philippines than here in the States!

But what specific places in Manila?... if you are referring to Divisoria... the place is not really safe for tourist or locals alike because of the number of snatcher around... and we cannot consider the tiangges in San Juan or Market Market as cheap... because most are still quite expensive...

When I will go to other Country in my vacation time I always want to bought something that the place have their specialty like in Thailand I bought a small umbrella and I hung it up in our ceiling for one of our decoration and when I go to the Philippines with my wife place I always go to SM Cebu and Sm Manila is one of my favorite Shopping spree.
