LET THE CHALLENGE BEGIN!



Okay, so my blog isn't named GUTS. GRIT. GUMPTION. for nothing. Here's a challenge for Manila denizens:

Let me know how you'd spend a day in Manila with only Php 500 (this would entail a entire day of gimmick with friends). I'd be doing my own with photos and cost breakdown to boot.

Contributors (Your own experience!) to this challenge are welcome.

You want me to spend Php 1000 in one day in Mnl? I can already do a lot with only Php 100 ! Maybe this challenge is for my wife :-)

I will reduce this to Php 500 as I realized Php 1000 is just too much for one day!

P500 for a dvd marathon is more than enough, each disc costs P60 in quiapo.

Quiapo is probably becoming the cheapest place to buy pirated DVDs. Aleq is from Rizal and Php 100 is something I also paid in other places in Manila.

Quiapo is just a horrible place to buy DVDs. All that jostling and sweat!

If you intend to shop, at least shop in style, ha ha ha! Try out the DVD shops in Carriedo in that bldg right next to the LRT Carriedo exit (forgot the name, sorry!).

They sell them there at Php 60 each, with TV testers to boot. Shop in air-conditioned comfort!!!
