Back in college, those "Piso Print" photocopying joints really saved my ass from going broke from…read moreall the printing requirements needed, especially for my thesis. I have never owned a printer, so I mostly relied on places like these to have my stuff printed. Fast forward to four years after graduating, I was so HAPPY that here in my village there exists a place that offers piso print services! I do print less things now, but it's good to know that there are more and more places like these that offer cheaper printing costs for people on a budget. Service here isn't topnotch (don't expect a warm smile or a "ma'am") but you get what you pay for. What I like about the people who run this place is that they work really fast. I've never seen anyone staple papers as fast as these guys.

I just want to discuss some of the stuff I noticed a few days earlier…read more 1. The quality of the print was not good. I offered them two pdf files to print, the first one has a messy margin, while the second one has terrible quality, particularly when a certain document has a picture expect it to be pixelated. They do not edit your document as well that is why it is recommended to have it in pdf and their MS office version is 2007 so if you have a word file in a higher version it would mess up your file. 2.If you're in rush, finding a new printing store is highly recommended, as the person I gave my hard drive took some time to see your computer already detecting the hard drive. He almost returned my hard drive saying, "Sir, I don't think that your hard drive works." 3. Again, if in a hurry, try to find another printing shop. I purchased my own papers beforehand since I assumed I'd get 0.75 per page. I separate a number of papers equal to the number of pages I'm printing, but then I think it wasn't a good idea to put it out of the ream because their printer keeps jamming so I gave them the ream itself but it still keeps on having the same problem. So they try it with the other printer, but what I don't like about the service is that the man who assisted me continues to imply that it was my fault since I gave him loose papers (papers out of the ream). 4. Aside from the man being obviously no computer expert, expect some attitude and bring lots of patience. After sorting out the jamming problem, I asked them if I would get 0.75 pesos per page, then the guy refuses it and then says "If you want I'll give back your paper and pay 1.50 per page" (1.50 is the original price btw for A4 size papers). So I ended up paying 1 peso for each page which was ok but then again ATTITUDE. In conclusion, attitude with terrible customer service and horrible printing quality is what you should expect from 888 printing. I'm never going back to this place again. 888 printing "You get what you pay for".

In my own small way and whenever I can, I try to help out people who try to help themselves. I…read morebelieve in the dignity of work so I buy from and support organizations that empower the less privileged or disadvantaged members of our society. One store in Market! Market! that I support (and also promote) is the Tahanang Walang Hagdanan. I have no personal relation to any member of this organization, but I am inspired by the hard work and dedication of those involved in this advocacy. Besides, the workmanship of the items sold in this kiosk is tops, export-quality even. So you won't feel cheated after buying something from the shop. Tahanang Walang Hagdanan is known for their educational products. Instead of buying imported puzzles for my godchildren, I choose their wooden instructive puzzles. Other popular products to buy are Christmas cards, hand-made paper novelties, needlecrafts, house and kitchen wares, and religious items. Whenever you patronize Tahanang Walang Hagdanan, remember that you are helping people with disability to become self-reliant and economically independent.
