Palawan Shopping Tips
Palawan is just about one of the best provinces to go on a shopping adventure. Its shopping centres, arcades, and stalls found in the chief resort destinations offer a wide range of choices. Here we will breakdown the best products to buy when visiting this province.
One of the best things to buy in Palawan is products manufactured from capiz shells such as Tiffany lampshades, coasters, ashtrays, and other novelty products. On a global scale, the sale of these items is on a downturn because of the abuse of coral reefs in place of these items. Aside from that, baskets made from vine, rattan, bamboo, reeds and roots, and wicker. Bags from abaca and raffia are viable purchases along with rugs and placemats.
In addition, woven cloth from Argao, whose intricate design is world-renowned, is one of the popular buys in Palawan. Likewise, visitors can consider buying coral and stone jewellery boxes as well as accessories for their homes. These are excellent gift suggestions to the people they left behind. Jewelleries and decorative products from silver have been a hit especially with their unique Filipino design.
Moreover, visitors who crave for food delights can treat themselves to some of Palawan’s finest gastronomic treats such as dried mango, crunchy sugar-coated biscuits (otap), dried fish (danggit), rolled wafers with peanut or cashew fillings (turons), and fresh fruit.
Tourists can adorn their homes with antique religious relics that are believed to be 200 years old.
Furthermore, seafood in Palawan is cheaper compared to Manila. One can even purchase 500 pesos worth of seafood and it will be enough for one week consumption. The good thing about buying seafood in Palawan is that the packing keeps the product fresh and cold upon arrival in Manila.
Finally, tourists who have a heart for charity can consider buying at the Iwahig Pearl Farm. The items sold in the venue were made by inmates of the Iwahig Leper Colony. There are a couple of souvenir shops in the Pearl Farm – one is stationed at the main lobby while the other is found at the Balsahan Natural Pools. For people who are tightening their belts, there are items which can be bought for as low as fifteen pesos. The cost will depend on how much the traveler is willing to shell out. More importantly, every centavo they spend on these items will alleviate the plight of the family of the inmates.
These are excellent reasons why tourists should not forget to do their shopping in Palawan.
