Joy Abarico and Me - Shopping around.
. Dapitan Arcade is the place where the manufacturer and export-based companies unload their products at a very reasonable price.It was my first time shopping in this famous establishment and it was fun. But if you're considering visiting this place to buy garments and fashion items - this place is not for you. You better go to Divisoria, Taytay or Baclaran.
This whole establishment is open from 8:00AM-7:00PM every day, which only varies in every stall and store tent.
TIP: It is not true that the prices of the items displayed inside the Main Dapitan Arcade Building are more expensive compared to the tents outside.
It may be exhausting spending more time to saunter around - from inside to outside, and back inside again - just to compare the best pricing that fits your budget but it is recommended. I personally did it and found out that pricing varies - not because stores are located outside or inside but prices differ depending on the store owner.

Interior Home Decor.
There are electronic fireplace lanterns, fur for the sofa, wooden signage for both business and home, table centerpiece, and a lot more. Surely, this is a haven for adult women and wives.
This LED Fireplace Lantern doesn't generate heat, it is purely for aesthetic.
Honestly, if you check the price of this fur in the malls, these are expensive but in Dapitan Arcade, it is almost half of the price cheaper.
I was stumbled upon - this wooden home signage because I live in a small dwelling. I almost buy it.
These colorful artificial fruits are worth buying. These are perfect as table centerpiece.
Cooking wares, Kitchen Utensils, and Plates.
Ceramic Products such as plates, cups, and various figurines are available. Undeniably, when you arrive at the place, you'll be amazed at the plates that are only bluntly displayed on the ground. Different designs to choose from - e.g. minimalist to Moroccan design.
Look! Ceramic Plates are just being displayed along the street.
Places and Bowls are also available inside the main building.
These miniature cooking wares are available at Dapitan Porcelain House which is walking distance away from the arcade.
These miniature stainless products are free when reaching a certain amount of your total purchase from this store.
I was amazed by these golden spoons and forks. With an amount of PHP100 per pair, I decided to get three.
Native Products and Handicrafts.
Decor Items for Business Establishments.
Figurines that are perfect for SPA business or restaurant that caters to international cuisines.
A bunch of wooden signage to consider buying when you running a business like a coffee shop, tiki bars and alikes.
Antiques and Pre-Loved Items.
I also notice some vintage language displayed. It is rare and nostalgic seeing this kind of item nowadays.
Woodcrafts.
Wood products such as chopping boards, plates, coasters, cups, and saucers are available at a cheaper price but are export-quality.
Christmas Decor.
This place is a go-to establishment during Christmas Season because it caters affordable Christmas decorations and lightings. In comparison when you shop in the malls, prices have a really big difference.
Artificial Plants, Vases, Pots, and Planters.
If you're Plantito and Plantita - consider visiting this place as it has a wide array of pots, planters, huge vases, and artificial plants.
