Manila's shopping venues

If you're looking for handicrafts in Manila you'll be a little disappointed, the best you can buy from here is basketware, shell work and amulets from the market area around Quiapo church, under the Quezon Street overpass. But if you're interested in discounted brand name goods head for the big malls: Ayala Center and Glorietta Center on Ayala Ave in Makati District and the SM Megamall in Ortigas District just in front of the Ortigas bus stop.
