"imported" (presumably, made in USA) ang mga binebenta sa PX goods store.
the reputation arose during a time when such items could not be purchased by ordinary folks, anywhere else in the country.
we used to go to clark and visit the outside-the-base PX goods stores there, for things that catch our fancy. mostly electric and mechanical items.
when pinatubo erupted, the PX good stores at ulo nang gapo were awash with items like big furniture pieces, even entire sets, and even bathbubs, still with chisel marks.
nowadays, "PX" has lost its allure, as many of the items are now readily available to to anyone, in many physical stores and online stores.
