I
was
looking
for
something
to
take
home
as
a
souvenir
from
Intramuros,
like
a
postcard
or
something.
We
came
across
this
little
shop
while
taking
a
respite
at
the
line
of
cafes/souvenir
shops
in
the
entrance
of
Fort
Santiago,
and
we
checked
it
out
cause
the
shop
looked
cool.
When
we
walked
in,
locally
made
products
greeted
us.
The
place
was
full
of
all
sorts
of
things,
with
a
wide
range
of
products,
from
postcards
to
stationary,
locally
crafted
organic
coffee
and
even
ethnic
musical
instruments!
Above
all,
their
products
reflect
authentic
Filipino
craftsmanship.
The
textiles,
hand-woven
tapestry,
rare
wooden
indigenous
carvings
and
whatnot
is
a
proof
of
the
living
ethnic
tradition
that
is
still
alive
but
often
overlooked.
It
was
kind
of
a
sensory
experience,
if
you
will.
A
traditional
ethnic
song
was
playing
and
there
was
this
ethereal
aroma
that
completed
the
whole
experience.
The
only
problem
is
the
price
of
the
products,
some
are
really
pricey,
but
it's
reasonable
because
of
its
authenticity
and
quality.
The
staff
was
really
welcoming,
and
really
accommodating.
Kind
of
amazed
cause
I
never
thought
of
such
shop
promoting
local
Filipino
artisans
and
makers
alike
around
the
country,
and
also
preserving
the
cultural
legacy
and
diversity
of
the
Philippines.
It
was
overall
a
cultural
and
a
thoughtful
experience.
It
is
a
must
to
stop
by
this
quaint
store
when
you
go
to
Intramuros.
