Divisoria or Divi is Manila's premiere shopping district and answer to Bangkok's Chatuchak Market. Though there are no sources which tells the exact origin of the place, historic accounts will tell you that as early as the 1800's, Divisoria is already a merchant district flocked by Chinese traders.
Probably "The Harrod's of the Bargain World". Spacious floors where one can find dirt cheap goods (mostly from China.)
A few of the items that can be found at Ilaya and Elpo, Divi's "Open air Mood".
Street scenes along Elpo.........
......where one can buy practically everything from greens
........to dried fish
.........spices/herbs/whatever.
A lot has changed since, but most people still head to Divi for cheap thrills and no matter how many malls/establishments will be built in the future, I don't think Divi will lose its appeal.
