Metro Manila is the shopping heart of the Philippines, with options for every budget. Knowing where to go saves you both time and money, whether you are after big-brand retail or a hard-to-find bargain.
For malls and department stores, Makati, Ortigas, and the Mall of Asia complex in Pasay bring major retailers together in one trip. For bargains, Divisoria in Manila and Greenhills in San Juan are legendary for wholesale prices and haggling.
Shopping smart in the metro means going early to beat traffic and crowds, comparing prices between mall and market, and checking return policies before you pay. Weekday mornings are calmest.
