Ganduyan giftshop, Sagada

  • April 28, 2003
  • Rated 3 of 5 by perrytoo from London, United Kingdom
Cramped shop, piled high with tribal artifacts of all kinds – beautiful hand-woven materials, carved wood masks, baskets, everything you will find in craft shops anywhere else. But the young girl behind the counter was charming and helpful, explaining what the things were used for, and how they were made (by a local co-operative). I bought a couple of silver pendants with animal heads, which I hadn’t seen for sale anywhere else. She told me that an old man makes them, and brings them in to the shop from time to time.

The prices here are no higher than on the market stalls in Banaue or Baguio, and considerably lower than in Manila. Sagada is a dreamy, remote place, among its cemeteries and pine forests. This is a good place to buy memories.
