Mendes is the nearest downtown from Phil-ace.

One day I visited there and I could find some good places that were covered.

First, there were two photo stores in there, however it was a little bit expensive compared to Dasma or Olivarese.

The quality of the photos are not bad and if we compared to the time and transportation fee, it could be cheaper than going to Dasma or Olivarese.

And besides the photo store, there was a good place for buying some beers.

Especially if you want to buy some beers for lots of people, it is more economical to buy as a pet rather than bottle.

If you go to the store, you could find the pet beers and maybe there is the only place for purchasing those.

And there was a place for buying stationary.

The expense is not expensive and there are a variety of items that we need.

Finally, the mercury store is the famous place for the students in Phil-ace, because we can buy some drugs and necessary items that we buy in the supermarket.

And near the mercury store, we could buy some dishes like baked chicken and it was very delicious, cheap and good for eating with some alcoholic drinks.

If you can use tri-cycle, it takes about 10 minutes with 60 peso and you can also use shuttle with 20 peso, so it is very useful to know about that place when you should buy something urgently.
