I dropped by Dapitan Arcade just for the heck of it—or maybe to justify the trip by checking if prices had changed since I last went in November. I was half-hoping they’d be lower (hello, law of supply and demand?).
Surprisingly, the place felt serene and noticeably less busy. Parking was easier than usual, and the usual tents and street vendors outside the arcade were nowhere in sight.
Although I still did see a few vendors at the sidewalk selling these wooden salad or pica pica bowls at an amazing price of P10/pc, depending on the size. Some were at 3 for P100. Wow!!
No Christmas decors yet, of course—one of the stall owners mentioned they’ll start selling around September or early October. But the usual items inside Dapitan Arcade are already going for much lower prices, as expected. Ceramic plates, mugs, and more—some as low as ₱35 apiece!
Rustic candle holders ideal for home and garden decor...
And, my newest discovery was actually found not in Dapitan Arcade but in Suki Market which was just a few steps away. There were a lot of prepared food at Suki Market ... barbeque, embutido, etc which you could take home, ready to eat..
Excellent for parties and potlucks....

How to Get to Dapitan Arcade or Suki Market:
It’s much easier if you have your own ride. Once you reach Burger King along Quezon Avenue (near Welcome Rotunda), turn onto Kanlaon Street—it’s right beside it, so you won’t miss it. Head straight down Kanlaon and you’ll hit Dapitan Street at the second intersection. That’s where Dapitan Arcade is located.
Feel free to check the location map below for reference.
