The Manila Collectible Co.

Yesterday's Intramuros Pasyal Sunday along Gen. Luna Street in Intramuros was a welcome break from my daily grind, and provided me with a good motivation for this week, especially since I'll be leaving for Davao in a couple of days for the annual UGAT conference. Busy days ahead.

A short walk from the closed-down street is the Manila Collectible Co., a store selling indigenous and locally-made products. It is also an event venue; they invite IPs and cultural advocates to share facets of indigenous culture such as dance, song, and food.

It was really fun looking around. I've taken note of the stuff I'll buy when I come back. :)

The Manila Collectible Co. is yet another reason to visit Intramuros. It's a good place to learn about indigenous culture and local products as well. TMCC is located at Cabildo corner Beaterio streets, just behind the Manila Cathedral. You'll get a visual treat when you climb up the rooftop area too. ;)
