CRAZY LADY IN THE WALLED CITY...
Just a shameless shameless plug for my Intramuros gift store, "La Monja Loca".
Translated into English as "The Crazy Nun", La Monja is dedicated to the promotion of all things good and all things Filipino. We carry textiles from Ilocos Norte, sculptural churches from Bulacan, rare books, artisanal capiz lamps, and really funky products by Astrud Crisologo, Mother Earth Bags, Mike and Banj Claparols, Firma, Team Manila, Atelyer Design Studio. We also sell the all important Groovy Map n' Guide to Manila.But were not only about promoting arts and design, we're also all about crossing that line between altruism and commercialism. La Monja Loca is also dedicated to showcasing products that have a higher cause. We also carry items done through livelihood projects by Gawad Kalinga, Virlanie Foundation, Dole Foundation and Development Action Women's Network.
After all, shopping is all about good intentions, innit? Thanks Senor Pernas for the series of photos you see here.
And if you text us before you arrive, 0920 9092021, we're giving free halo-halos to the first fifty customers. No kidding.La Monja Loca

Carlos, online catalog naman! If that's too hard (online sales, I mean), then just pics of products and prices, then I'll ask my friend in Manila to go shopping for me. This is the kind of Manila shopping I like to indulge in!
Is that a pillow with a rooster on it? (sixth pic down) Is it embroidered on?
Hi Carlos!
Just curious. I heard the Metropolitan Theater will be opening soon. Will this theater be open to the public or will it have its own tour guide? If not, would you be giving tours of The Met (outside and inside)? Please advise. I'm glad to see many architectural gems of Manila are being restored. I wonder when all of Intramuros will be fully restored.
Yes, it's an ilocano chicken pillow. It's completely embroidered...
The online category is a great idea!
And Yes, I hear the met is being restored. I hope to tour it one day but it's not me who has the final say about that.
Carlos, I'm definitely dropping in to shop there when I'm in Manila next February. I see you carry Team Manila products which, according to Caroline, she will be distributing here in Toronto soon.
Hi Evelyn. Actually Caroline already is distributing Team Manila. Its available at Kapisanan.
Great! Looking forward to seeing you soon in Manila!
Hi there. Please post store hours and location.
Which credit cards, if any, do you accept?
Sorry! Eeps! We don't accept credit cards as of yet. We are growing. Hopefully soon!
I'll post the hours now. Thank you!!
