Bodega Site: One Stop Electronics for Visitors & Locals

by BobNewYork

A decade or two ago not many would consider lugging around a Desktop PC or one of the very costly early Digital Cameras. Times have changed and now Laptop and Notepad portable computers, cell phones and digital cameras are just about standard equipment for many travelers.At home in the USA maybe I am one of the few that does not have a Cell Phone but I just don't like monthly bills or accounts I can do without. The Philippines however has a true " pay as you go " cell phone system. The primary method of communication for the masses is by cell phone texting. On my previous visits one of my Filipino friends handled a lot of the texting for me and I thought it became burdensome for my friends.Around Mid 2011 I began hearing adds on Iligans DXMA 95.9 FM ( webstream in English to the world, see review of this station on this website ) about a new store opening in Iligan City.

Iligan Datavision: A Well Stocked Computer Store

by BobNewYork

There are at least 6 computer type stores in Iligan City ( and probably even a few more than that ). Some of these stores are independently owned and operated and others are branch stores of regional or national chains. A decade or two ago a computer store may have been far removed from something a tourist would consider going to. These days with the popularity and portability of such items as laptops, netpads, note pads coupled with the ever increasing availability of WiFi, the " Carry Around " version of the personal computer is standard equipment with many people.On my first visit to Iligan City I went to quite a few of the computer stores that I saw, primarily just to see what kind and familiar brands of equipment and accessory items were available in this part of the world and how much they were selling for compared to both retail and discounted prices in the USA. At that time I was...

Gaisano Super City Mall, Iligan City: The New Gaisano Super City Shopping Mall

by BobNewYork

It seems that for quite some time the residents of Iligan City with its population of over 300,000 wanted a shopping mall similar to those found in other major cities in The Philippines. After several years of continuing construction " The Mall " opened, in stages, during 2008 and as of this writing this mall has been in operation for over 1 year as final construction and full occupancy nears completion. Although many travelers and tourists especially those from other parts of the world enjoy open markets and things more expressive of local and regional culture, I personally enjoy seeing what kind of products are marketed in more conventional stores and shops. There are at least two open markets in Iligan City that I am aware of. I have yet to explore the open market in Pala-O and the Iligan Wet Market. These are something I look forward to on a future visit.The main entrance to Iligans...

native products

by tsan

There are a bunch of shops selling Maranao products along quezon avenue beside trendline store, near asia gm printshop... With Iligan's close proximity to Marawi City, the Islamic City of the Philippines, you're sure to find authentic Maranao goods... you don't have to go to Zamboanga or even Marawi to enjoy Maranao crafts, they're all here in Iligan. There are the wooden chests of different sizes.... what makes these chests unique is the very intricate designs using capiz shells. Malongs. you'll discover that there are over a hundred beautiful malong designs! some more expensive than others because of the cloth, the quality, and the manufacturer? some are manufactered in indonesia, they say. but i guess compared to flying to indonesia, malongs are still way cheaper bought here.Brass gongs. they come in different sizes...some as big as your biggest cauldron and some as small as a 1-peso...

Cheding's: Cheding's Peanuts

by DarleneCMF

Cheding's sells Iligan's most famous delicacy - roasted peanuts. These are very popular pasalubongs for travelers. It's not uncommon that there will be a waiting list. They have other peanut products too. Drop by their store along Sabayle Street, a short distance from the pier. Cheding's Roasted Peanuts P37 for 1/4 kilo of Roasted Peanuts
