DV

Although I have tried online selling, online buying, online trading, online shopping, online purchase, and what have you, nothing beats going to my favorite shopping place: DIVISORIA.

I love this place! I don’t know what is it with us that we love bargains. Maybe it’s the thrill of making tawad and getting the price we want. Or maybe it’s the happiness we get when we buy something at a price we think is right. I tell you that nothing beats bringing 3,000 pesos to DV and going home with three big plastics of purchased goods, all bought on bargain.

Tutuban Center, one of the main malls in Divisoria

Divisoria is already an institution [we all know 168, Tutuban Mall, Divisoria Mall, Ilaya, etc]. Everybody knows what Divisoria is. It has become known as a great place to buy almost anything. And when I say anything, I mean anything…from clothes (for all ages, both sexes, all sizes, all colors), to kitchenware, to toys, to paper products, to wood products, to plants, and many more! And the price…ahhh, heaven for bargain hunters and budget-conscious people like me. And now that Christmas is near, it’s a great place to buy gifts for everyone!

 Divisoria is like one giant tiangge!!!

Diifferent colors, different styles

People flock here for diffent things..but majority of the goods are clothing and toys. 

Beating the crowd is one challenge…once 11 am comes, the crowd does too.

I know most of us would think that since goods in DV are sold at a low low price, everything is low quality. I must admit that for some, this is the case. But there are many good-quality products (some even the same as that sold in malls) in DV, if you know where to look. So be sure that when you go to DV, you have an eye for those products that would last.

So for you who haven’t tried shopping in DV, I suggest you do so. If you wouldn’t mind braving crowds in an atmosphere very different from that in malls, it’s really worth the trip!
