Street Market
Around Quiapo Church there are dozens of dubious apothecary stalls selling all manner of herbal and folk medicines, as well as amulets (carved stones and medallions believed to have magical powers). Showing admirable initiative, vendors will tell you that the 'Pampa Regla' potion is good for everything from weight loss to curing erectile dysfunction, depending on how you look. Langis Ng Ahas is literally snake oil - maybe.
The lively stalls around Carriedo St sell thickly padded bras, hardware, porn DVDs and just about anything else.
On M Recto Ave, in the direction of the harbour, are hundreds of stalls selling household goods and bale clothing.
