We were looking for a particular item of clothing and came across this second-hand clothing store in the town of Zamboanguita. Used clothes are called ‘ukay-ukay’ throughout the country and are sold in stores in the market area on rummage tables and in smaller boutique-style stores like the one in the photo, where the goods are displayed nicely and attractively on hangers.
