Ukay Shop 41: TASI THRIFT SHOP
Tasi Thrift Shop is the 4th Ukay Shop at Pasay Rotonda. It is between Boogie Boogie Shop and Ukay Ukay Wagwagan. This shop sells clothes, some shoes and bags, and a few toys. This is one of my favorites in the area not only because they have great clothes but they also have great pricing and sale scheme. Their sale time and pricing is almost similar to Ukay Ukay Wagwagan's. Items become Php 75.00, then Php 50.00, then 3 for Php 100.00 until it reaches Php 20.00 pesos. From new arrivals items reach rock bottom prices after just over a month! So it's really a must to always check it out. Although unlike Ukay Ukay Wagwagan it is not airconditioned!

Ukay Shop 40: UKAY UKAY WAGWAGAN Pasay Rotonda
This is one of the branches of Ukay Ukay Wagwagan, they also have a branch at Makati Cinema Square.
Like their branch in Makati, Ukay Ukay Wagwagan at Pasay Rotonda have great items on sale. This branch sell mostly clothes and a few shoes and bags. This is one of my favorite shops in Pasay Rotonda becuase they lower their prices every week! and items become on sale for like 3 or 4 for Php 100.00 in just a little over a month from the date they arrived in the store! So its a constant new arrival and sale in this shop! Their clothes even go down to Php 10.00 a few days before they sell again their new arrivals.
It is also comfortable to shop here becuase it is airconditioned, and shop attendants are very friendly, unlike the ones at Makati Cinema Square.
Great choices, great shop attendants, great pricing, great shopping experience.... GREAT SHOP!

Ukay Shop 39: BOOGIE BOOGIE SHOP
Boogie Boggie Shop is our second ukay shop from Pasay Rotonda. This is also probably the biggest. The shop has 3 floors! If you are also looking for shoes and bags this is the place! The first 2 floors houses the shoes and bags and they do have a great selection for both! I observed that shoes on sale are located on the first floor and those that just arrived/ with little discount are placed on the second floor. For the ladies out there I once spotted a blue marc jacobs heels for about 100 pesos! Talk about designer bargain!!!
As for the bags, sometimes you can also spot authentic designer bags in this store, but again beware because not all bags are authentic, better do your research first.
The third floor houses the clothes colection. They have several menswear and jackets. I like this store for their great selection but I don't like the fact that its not comfortable to shop here (read: VERY HOT!), clothes are a bit pricey, and their sales are not as often as the other shops in the area.

Ukay Destination 5: PASAY ROTONDA (updated)
PASAY ROTONDAI know we're not yet done covering the shops in Starmall Alabang but we'll get back to that. For now I'm featuring our next ukay destination which is Pasay Rotonda. It is located, where else, in Pasay city! It is actually the intersection of EDSA and Taft Avenue. This destination has about 8 shops (I'm not sure if there are more) and most of them offer great items. Some of the shops are even airconditioned!
This place is very accessible because 2 major trains pass here, LRT 1 and MRT. If you have a car you can park at the Metropoint Mall basement parking or Infront of the Sogo Hotel if you're in the Northbound side of EDSA.
The ukay shops in the area are listed below:
1. Raberly
2. Boogie Boogie Shop
3. Ukay Ukay Wagwagan
4. Tasi Thrift Shop
5. Ukay Shop 5
6. Ukay Shop 6
7. Ukay Shop 7
8. Ukay Shop 8

I will discuss each shop separately so keep coming back for updates to this post and for new entries.

Ukay Shop 30: RABERLY PASAY
Raberly is one of the more popular ukay chains in manila. I think they have 3 ukay outlets, correct me if i'm wrong, the first one in quezon city, second one in manila, and the pasay branch being the third one.
Raberly Pasay is our first ukay shop from Pasay Rotonda. It is located along EDSA south bound before you reach Metropoint Mall. The shop has 2 floors. The first floor houses the clothes, while the second floor houses the shoes and bags. It looks huge from the outside but really its not big.
Clothes are ok, shoes are great but i find it too expensive! Would you pay 1,500-1,800 for a pair of second hand shoes from Zara!? That's almost the price of a brand new Zara shoes when its on sale! Some shoes are even priced above 2,000. I usually wait come sale time because i'm really not willing to spend that much on second hand shoes.
All in all it is still worth checking out because they have great stuff, the place is airconditioned, and there are several other ukay shops in the area!
