Subic shopping
December 31, 2009Because we were so disappointed with what we saw in Clark, and because it was still quite early, we decided to proceed to Subic. Our first stop was Royal Subic.
Now this is much better. And there are a lot more of comestibles on sale. I compared rates here and in Manila, and noticed that some were cheaper here and some are not, so it’s best to buy just those items that are cheaper of course. We also visited another Puregold branch, which is just beside Royal. There were some items here that weren’t available in Royal, and so those were the items that we bought.
A short drive away was another duty-free shop called Freeport, and beside it was the Unionsquare Discount Store, which is a factory outlet for brands like Nike, New Balance, Gola, etc. Right across was a wine store that sells really cheap wine. We bought several wines as gifts and a couple of Asti’s.
All in all, I’d say that Subic is so much better compared with Clark.
