Before 168 Mall was built, there was DIVISORIA MALL—for bargain hunters who didn’t like to navigate the busy streets of Divisoria. Divi Mall is just like 168 Mall, but cheaper. It is air conditioned, with stalls partitioned into pasilios or rows, but also older-looking, and a bit more congested.
The main difference lies in the variety of goods. If you’re looking for more fashion stuff like clothes, shoes, bags, then you’re better off at 168 Mall. Divisoria Mall has fashion items, too, but I find the selection at 168 Mall a lot better. Now if you’re looking for knickknacks, gift items, school/office supplies, wedding and corporate giveaways, accessories, kid’s toys and party items, household items, then Divi Mall is the place.
Divi Mall is more accustomed to wholesale buyers. So it would be better to go with a friend who might want to buy the same items. But don’t be thrown off by “wholesale”. Here, it just means buying at least 6 of the same items. There is often a huge difference between buying only 1 to 5 pieces versus buying 6 of the same. Example: a mesh hamper goes for P30 each, P17 wholesale (at least 6 pieces).
Here are my recent finds:
