"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

DV

Sunday, November 23, 2008

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!

I was just telling someone that I’ve never been to Divisoria, and would love to go someday. Thank you for the pics. It does look like a wonderful place to shop. Although I don’t think I’ll do well because I’m bad at making “tawad.” I give in too easily.

You know Manila’s richest and most influencial ladies (and men) shop in DV nowadays. Why my wife was there a couple of days before you. ;)
There really is a lot of junk in there, but you just have to really look to find good items.

Haven’t been there for the past 3 years. Going there and through the crowd is like being in the defunct “Extra Challenge”. I experienced the night tiangge, the items worth P5 to P20 are unbelievable!
