Before going back to home
Place to buy souveneir
a. Divisoria - you can get items at 50% price vs buying in malls
-Some of the malls/stalls are air conditioned but still hotter than in the class A malls. You need to be carefull with pickpocketers.
b. Kultura - can be seen in SM Malls
-offers a wide variety of handmade products, Pinoy tshirts, caps, and souvenirs.

NOTE:When you visit Cebu, Davao and other province buy pasalubong from there. Since most are not being sold in Divisoria/Kultura shops back in Manila

NOTE: When buying souvenirs always ask for a lower price. You and your friend can pretend only one of you bought the items so they will give better discount.
