ABOUT TIENDESITAS
Tiendesitas is a prime shopping and dining destination located in Frontera Verde, Pasig City. It showcases the best of Philippine products from locally-made furniture and handicrafts, antiques, to native food. |
| Tiendesitas |
Tiendesitas ("a collection of little stores") is a shopping complex located along E. Rodriguez Jr. Avenue in, Ugong, Pasig. Traders and entrepreneurs from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao offer specialty merchandise in Tiendesitas.
DEVELOPMENT OF TIENDESITAS
The complex began operations on September 26, 2005 and was developed by Ortigas & Company Limited Partnership (OCLP). Constructed at a cost of P200 million, Tiendesitas is a part of Ortigas East (former Frontera Verde), an interim 18.5 hectare Ortigas Center development project, much like the Greenhills Shopping Center.
Tiendesitas Villages
Tiendesitas is a 30,000 square metres (320,000 sq ft) complex of wide-opened "villages" featuring stylized Filipino architecture. The complex is made up of twelve pavilions inspired by Maranao architecture, which in turn traces its roots back to the bahay kubo.
The roof of each pavilion is covered with chemically treated Cogon grass, and is equipped with sprinklers to avoid mishaps during fires. Duyans (hammocks) are scattered around the development to offer short breaks during shopping trips. The Filipiniana inspiration extends to the comfort rooms: old kalesa wheels were transformed into chandelier frames to light up these restrooms.

| Inside Tiendesitas |
More than 450 traders from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao specializing in merchandise from regions not usually found in mainstream retail outlets exhibit their wares in Tiendesitas' shopping pavilions. Haggling a la tiangge is a common negotiating tactic among local merchants.
