ORTIGAS
Just a stone's throw away from Greenhills are two shops on the southbound side of the EDSA-Ortigas intersection. Though somewhat off-kilter, these stores have several aisles' worth of clothes from the US. Ukay-ukay sa Ortigas is a good place to start. Located beside the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration building, it's filled with rows of pants, blouses, shirts, jackets, and shoes.
Shop name: Ukay-ukay sa Ortigas
Number: 496-9286
Store Hours: 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
With a little patience, you'll be able to spot branded goods from Zara, Hush Puppies, and North Face among the generics. Hagglers will have a grand time here since the store's attendants are friendly, and attentive. They're also very flexible about prices—“especially if you're persuasive enough.
Shop name: Lucky 888
Store Hours: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Just across Ortigas is the old Fashion de Lite, now called the Lucky 888 shop. For P100, people can already get as many as four items off the racks. They offer signature pants, shoes, and blouses. But the real steals are the bags hanging from the ceiling.
