Discover some street Chinatown
Manila has many shopping centers, but all in house. To visit some street markets you can get to the area: Divisoria night market, Quiapo, and Baclaran. There are many cheap items fit many people. Most of the markets are crowded on weekends. My advice is if you go shopping, you should travel in groups, because in these areas are crowded or pickpockets. But also do not be so ignore this cheap market.

Shopping Mall of Asia
Shopping ultra-wide, including skate parks for 300 pesos / person and includes shoe rental. Add half the deposit area, you can deposit and then go play, from the need to rent the property.
