Philippines Ukay-Ukay

A walk through an Ukay-Ukay complex in Baguio City, Philippines. Ukay-ukay means to rumage and find from a pile, i.e. a used clothing store. Baguio is somewhat of a hub for ukay-ukay receiving truck and shiploads of second-hand and discount clothing from Hong Kong and the Western world. Within this one complex are many indistinguishable vendors. Prices seen are in Philippines Peso. 45 Peso = approx. $1 USD.

0:00 - 120 peso for any pair of pants on that rack.
0:30 - Descend to second sub-level
0:37 - This striped-shirt gentleman may be familiar to some
0:40 - Sitting, far right: a vendor for that particular area
0:48 - Far end second exit to some street
0:59 - Ascend to sub-complex III
1:05 - Another vendor, seated
1:17 - Ubiquitos, ukay-sized boxes of, well, more ukay-ukay clothing.

Thanks for asking, ranramz, but I am student from Canada visiting the Philippines and making videos ABOUT Ukay-Ukay stores. I am NOT an actual Ukay-Ukay store or store manager, though I AM very curious about whatever gave you that idea.
