Ukay-Ukay

March 21, 2008

Despite the financial crisis in the Philippines, people can afford to wear imported clothes without financial burden. This was made possible by the so-called “ukay-ukay”— slightly used clothes, shoes, and accessories made in other countries purchased in bulk by group of Filipinos and sold in retail to the public at low prices. It’s not only the marginalized and average-class people who are indulged in “ukay-ukay”-buying but as well as famous actresses and rich people. Who would not be interested in it anyway? Cheap yet of the same quality with those sold at the malls at very high prices.
