Quiapo market is indeed one of a bargain-hunter’s crown jewel destination. From the streets of Raon lined up with electronics and gadgets to Carriedo where merchants stretch from end to end to the under the bridge market up to the religious and superstitious goods circling the church, one can definitely throw his/her budget in Quiapo’s bargain frenzy.
2) Greenhills Shopping Center
Address: Ortigas Avenue, Greenhills, San Juan City, 1502 Metro Manila
The mass and the class, the locals and the foreigners, the brands and the imitations make Greenhills Shopping Center the paradox of an indoor and outdoor flea market experience.

And exploring the different sections of its various goods is an adventure worth spending for.

4) Baclaran Market

The humid, damp, and sometimes dry suffocating crowded scene is one that paints the lifestyle of Baclaran market. This bargain haven is not for the weak at heart. Much liken to its sister-Divisoria, Baclaran market has its fair share of side shops and street vendors selling a variety of goods from trinkets to fresh local produce. The Baclaran market also gets its characteristic of the Quiapo market with the famed monumental Baclaran Church standing amidst the irony of the street market.
5) Salcedo Saturday Market
