Ukay ukay



One of the ukay-ukay areas in Tacloban. Or the illegal selling of second-hand imported goods. Even with Republic Act # 4653 that prohibits the importation of second-hand garment goods, these ukay ukay shops even have mayor's permit to operate! One of the Philippine Facts of Life. Here's an abstract about the Ukay-ukay economics in the Philippines.

illegal but with a mayor's permit? So it must be legal? Funny.
