by machomikemd

Iloilo International Airport Departure Area has quite a number of souvenir shops for some last minute shopping for assorted Iloilo Souvenirs like the barquillos, Guimaras Mangoes, Biscocho, Puto Manapla, Crispy Calamares, Butterscotch and more. Thy even have ready made corrugated carton boxes in small to big sizes of which you can stack on your last minute shopping for souvenirs and just hand carry them and store them at the overhead storage bins of the aircraft. But a caveat, buying the souvenirs here are more expensive than buying them at the Iloilo City Proper since they have expensive rentals here at the airports. Most of the souvenir shops are located before the baggage check area.Opens 7:00 am to 5:00 pm everyday prices of the souvenirs here are 20 to 80% hugher than what they cost at Iloilo City Proper. An examplke will be the guimaras mangoes, which costs 90 pesos a kilo here...

Go Mart (convenience store): Budget Convenience Store in Smallville

by machomikemd

This popular convenience store located in the heart of the Smallville Complex in Mandurriao District is only one of two convenience stores serving the area (the other branch of it is near the river boardwalk of the Smallville Complex). Thus local convenience store opens from 10:00 am up to 1:00 am the next day and I've also included this on the nite life tips since it doubles as a budget bar area (please see my nitelife tips) since there are several tables and chairs where you can get a seat and buy your bar chow and assorted local or international beers or liqours and spirits at the convenience store. your typical convenience items like tissues, deodorants, female hygiene, assorted snacks like potato chips, nachos and more. Assorted Soft Drinks, fruit juices, local and international beers and wines and whisky and tequila and other liqours and spirits plus soap bars and everything you...

Robinson's Place Iloilo, Iloilo City: The Next Best Mall For Me

by cyndymc

Robinson’s Place Iloilo is owned and operated by the 2nd largest mall operator in the Philippines, Robinsons Malls. It is located right in the center of downtown Iloilo City, conveniently bordered on all sides by main roads, namely Ledesma, Mabini, De Leon and Quezon Streets. There are more than 200 shops, dining outlets, entertainment facilities and service centers in the 3-level shopping mall. We often went to Robinson’s Place for meals and shopping because it is walking distance to our hotel. Besides, when we “got lost”, we simply looked for Robinson’s Place, and upon seeing it, we always sighed with relief and easily found our way back to the hotel ;) Dinagyang souvenir t-shirts with good quality, mineral water, snacks and "pasalubongs" between P500 to P1,000 (depends on what you buy)

SM Delgado: Compact Department Store

by cyndymc

SM Delgado, originally known as SM Iloilo, is the first SM Department Store in Iloilo City. It is owned by SM Land Inc. and operated by Metro Manila Shopping Mecca Corporation of the SM Group that operates branches in other parts of the country. SM Delgado first opened in May 1979 at Iloilo City's bustling commercial district along Delgado and Valeria Streets. It was demolished on February 2, 2004, then a new building was built on the same site, and was reopened to the public on December 8, 2004. An annex building was added In 2007 to complete the shopping center's expansion and redevelopment. Many people still shop at SM Delgado because of the convenient location. Hubby and I went shopping at SM Delgado for some smart casual clothes. less than P1,500 for smart casual clothes
