The Dapitan Arcade in Manila is a great place to shop for souvenirs, gifts, and other items. There are many shops and stalls selling a variety of items, including tableware, capiz lights, metal furniture, house decors, wood crates, vintage items, decorative pots, jewelry cases, and pedestal tables. The prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is lively and fun.
I’ve been wanting to visit Dapitan Arcade ever since I’ve heard of its existence from my friends and colleagues (Dapitan Arcade opened in 2003). Sabi nila the best daw bumili ng mga accent pieces and locally made handcrafts here sa Dapitan arcade. Perfect ito sa mga taong mahilig mag decorate ng kanilang mga bahay.
Though honestly speaking, even I do not have the space in the house for such items, I still went and visited Dapitan due to curiosity. Gusto ko lang din naman malaman kung ano-anong mga interesting finds ang mabibili duon at malay natin baka may magustuhan tayo at biglang may mabuting puso sa sa atin na magbigay … lol!
Anyway, I went to Dapitan Arcade on a Sunday at around 1’o’clock in the afternoon. I think it is one of the best time to visit because aside the fact that there are only a few people shopping, it is easier to look for a parking as well.
