quality items that are comparatively cheaper sa tate than sa pinas like;
video devices:
kids: gameboy/psp
teenagers: ipod/ps2/gamecube/xbox/
mag-asawa: dvd player/component
or sports equipment:
kids: rubber shoes
teenagers: outfit/basket ball/volleyball/rubber shoes
mag-asawa: badminton/tennis racket
or health supplements (multivitamins * costco for about $10+/- per bottle) which cost mga 5 to 10 more sa pinas.. (this is a big hit among my kamag-anaks esp the 400 i.u. vitamin E & fish oil w/c is at least 10x more expensive sa pinas)
or quality branded clothing * ross/marshall's (suki dito si misis eh), pwede din towels, boxer shorts, sando, briefs or panties...
i used to bring lots of chocolates and other heavy stuff kaya lang konti lang mailagay mo sa box (2 boxes per person at 70lbs each sa PAL) so i opted to bring home a variation of the above items (i.e. relatively lighter) nung mga huli kong uwi.. pero kung meron handy man sa pagbibigyan mo, swak na swak ung mga tools kasi napakamahal nun sa pinas (mabigat nga lang kaya ako pina door to door ko na lng mga un)
hope these adds to your options.. kelan uwi nyo? advance happy & safe trip...![]()
salamat ha. baka next week yung trip, as usual, madalian. napaalala mo yung supplies (supplements, toothpaste, etc), sa weekend siguro kami kukuha. nakuha ko na yung shoes ng mga bata. nagbigay na kami ng gameboy at dvd player last time. hirap nga yung 70lb limit, pero up to 6 boxes kami this time. sinusulit lang yung dadalhin sa apat na pamilya at maraming kamag anak.![]()
walang anuman..
hehehe buti ka pa, 4 na pamilya lang plus the kamag-anaks, kami eh siyam (9) na pamilya plus the kamag-anaks everytime umuuwi, kaya nga best friend ni misis ang costco, ross & marshalls.. sabi kasi ng tatay ko ay hindi pa daw uso ang "trust" noong araw eh![]()

I'd just give them money and let them buy what they want like the way my wife did when she visited last year. The Philippines isn't behind at all (and may well be more advanced with certain items) when it comes to gadgets, clothing, and shoes. Some items like R/C or scale model kits, airbrushes/compressors might make good pasalubongs. But, it's specific to a certain type of person (like myself).
When my wife and daughter went last year, They each had 1 suitcase of clothes checked in. When they came back, my daughter had 2 while my wife had 3 (plus my mother-in-law's 2 suitcases). Baliktad pa nga..... That's not counting 1 further suitcase full of nothing but tuyo and daeng (her pasalubong for Pinay friends here).

Same here, we went home with a bag and a backpack (handbag for the misis) each. Comeback here, with two suitcase and a backpack each. (sent couple of boxes for the pasalubong in door-to-door box in advance)
Yung back issues mo ng Playboy, GQ , People at Us magazines. Old Navy, Gap, American Eagle.Assorted baseball caps ng US college sports teams like Fighting Irish.Basta yung wala sa atin para pag suot ng pinag bigyan mo sasabihin wala dito nyan kasi bigay sa akin yan galing Tate hehehe. But the nicest thing about giving e you can never go wrong, basta bigay yan e masaya yung nabigyan siguraduhin mo lang kasya kaya hirap magbigay ng shoes at pants.
tama si jun aka pekto and lakay. what you can buy there, you can most probably buy here ( maybe even at a cheaper price).
pero if you were to ask me...hard to find cd's na lang na 'di na-release dito ng mga int'l artists ( sa akin lang 'yun)![]()
hey guys, have you seen the news lately? di na pede ang liquids at laptop/electronics as handcarryeven key chains with the remote of your the car alarm
most likely everything will be checked in, and we all know how they handle our luggage di ba? things get damaged or stolen lalo na pag bulky electronics
its getting harder and harder to travel esp kung may pasalubong. so much for electronic portability
no more psp's or ipods to counter noisy passengers and kill time.
edit: sticking to the topic, pag may relative ako pabalik ng PH I always aske for shoes(minsan region specific ang release ng ibang shoes), limited edition US region DVD'S, electronic toys(like psp), PS2 orig games(mas mura sa US by 50% compared to PH), electronic devices like digital cameras and "nice to haves" like chocolates, perfumes, food... yun ibang relative namin nag uuwi ng mga corned beef, shampoo at cape - although it seems cheap to others who are familiar with the pricing, other relatives of mine are very happy with it![]()

hmmm... hirap ata yan baka ung madala eh made in RP o Taiwan din. With matching Language pa kung saan ginawa
Electronic gadgets,- mura dyan, lalo na kung may sale at offer ng rebate:
> digicam, videocam, bose speakers - on the high side.
> puwede ring mp3 player(not ipod but branded like creative), frs (bawal yata rito dahil sa operating freq), wireless telephone with answering machine and caller id (medyo mura lang dyan kaso 110V)... isip pa ko....
basta bigay mo max malugod naming tatangapin. Klasse lang daw kay ILD.![]()
