I've just gotten back from checking out the antique shops in the downtown (Ermita district) of the city of Manila.
I was looking for kampilans, and I've posted the pics of the five kampilans I'm choosing from, in this thread -- Five kampilans: which two to buy? Hope you can give me some guidance there. As to what else are there in that popular antique store in Ermita, please see attached. |

I would give up an "E-Ride ticket", to walk thru these shops ( if any of you ever used one of these tickets, you're old like me
 )Miguel, again thanks for posting the photos. |

I too wish I could walk into these shops... are there any honestly functional and strong blades there or are they all fragile antiques or tourist items? I dunno if it's worth trying to find someone who could help me acquire a barong from a good reputable shop...

Most of the stuff in the pictures are recently made. There are some that are perhaps older - mostly those that are Lumad or Igorot.
