Formerly known to be the Marikina Shoe Expo, this place delights itself in still a very vintage feel. One of the first things that may catch your eye was the succession of the antique shops having vintage cameras and telephones, CDs, cassette tapes, paintings, old magazines, dummy phones, and etc. Majority of the costumers find themselves lucky enough to know that vintage cameras especially lomo cameras are still existing.

Cubao Expo is basically a compound lined with different kinds of shops selling unique and cool stuffs. Though it has gone through many changes of its own over the years, somehow it still manages to reinvent itself as it has always been, a resiliency that is the trademark of the Filipino culture itself.
