Quick Take
St. Francis Square is the old-school bargain stop of Ortigas, sitting between SM Megamall and The Podium but offering a very different shopping experience. Instead of polished flagship stores, you get hundreds of tiangge-style stalls for clothes, shoes, bags, accessories, gadgets, repairs, and small everyday finds. Mas bagay siya kapag may specific item kang hinahanap at willing kang mag-compare ng presyo. The aisles can feel busy, so set a meeting point and inspect electronics or branded-looking items carefully before paying.
