Divisoria is considered as the real market district of Manila. You can find everything here. Divisoria is big and chaotic, but it is unparalleled for goods and prices. Name it and chances are you will find it here. More than anything else, Divisoria is known for textiles. Prices are generally wholesale, and you can haggle to the last peso. However, if you are not from Manila, do not venture here on your own. Aside from the possibility of getting lost, getting mugged, your pocket picked, or finding the place too bewildering, you would not be able to strike as good a deal with stall owners. A local guide is a must.
